Day 15 of a 21-day prayer guide
Tensions are high, and all eyes are on the November elections. What will the results mean for our nation? It is a critical time in history for both America and our world.
While leaders determine a nation’s course, God is sovereign and can be trusted. Let’s humbly seek His Presence and His intervention on behalf of America. In a posture of unity, let’s agree that He is the only one who can turn the tide in our nation.
Our battle is not against flesh and blood but principalities, powers, and spiritual wickedness in high places, and the battle belongs to the Lord. He has permitted us to come boldly to His throne for mercy and grace in our time of need; this is a time of great need. Intercessors must lift our voices with one heart and mind and stand in the gap for America.
Day 15: Pray for Secure Borders
You have defined and established all the borders of the earth [the divisions of land and sea and of the nations]; You have made summer and winter. (Psalm 74:17 AMP)
God first established borders. He is the One who created them. Borders have always been used as a hedge of protection from invading enemies. They were a way to protect our freedoms. Somehow, the lines have been blurred, and now borders are a significant point of debate. Now, some consider advocating for secure borders and stricter vetting about who is entering the U.S. to be racist and hateful. Open borders have created a problem that is too big for us financially and physically but not too big for God.
- Pray for God to restore order to our borders by closing the current porous borders that allow illegal immigrants as well as numerous criminals and even terrorists to come into our nation undetected (see Isaiah 60:18).
- Pray for protection from criminal assaults and terrorist attacks and pray for individual Americans living near border towns who are fearful for the security of themselves and their families (see Psalm 32:7; 46:1).
