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 21: Pray for God’s Will to Be Done

Your kingdom come; your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. (Matthew 6:10)

We all have a goal in mind when we pray. We expect that God will answer whether it’s for healing, provision, or breakthrough. While He does, sometimes it’s a no or not yet. Sometimes, He answers in ways that we never expected. Sometimes, our prayers are pure, but sometimes our motives are not. God sees and knows everything. He doesn’t need our prayers but welcomes our partnership with Him. His will and ways are higher than ours. While we may not understand everything, He sees the end from the beginning. God has had a plan for America since the birth of this nation. She has a purpose, just as all nations do. We are praying for the fulfillment of that divine purpose.

• Thank God you are alive at this time in history because this is your time. Thank God you were born in a nation like America; though not perfect, we have enjoyed her blessings (see Acts 17:26-27).
• Pray for a great awakening in America that will bring about true moral reformation and a return to the Judeo- Christian values of earlier generations (see Ephesians 5:13-17).
• Pray for God’s will to be done in these all-important national elections and for our nation to be delivered from evil and restored to God’s special calling to bring His light and blessing to the nations (see Isaiah 55:8-9).
