PRAYERS OF PRESENCE

REMEMBER:

GOD IS IN CONTROL

For the FULL VERSION, GO HERE

It's worth a REPEAT, I think...

Her following prayer especially stirred...

Father, stir within Your people to pray...not just be upset by the ways of this worldbut to intercede for Your ways, Your will.

God so much we don't understand...so much is distorted by the media by the retelling of stories between people.

Stir up within us a righteous anger toward the evil in this world. Help us to remember we do not battle against the flesh and blood we see..."Put on the full armor of God so you can stand against the tactics of the Devil. For our battle is not against flesh and blood,but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the world powers of this darkness,against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavens." Eph. 6

Satan is at work, trying to steal, kill and destroy(John 10:10-11)

Father show each of us what he has stolen from us...peace, joy, love, hope.....so much that is promised us...even in the midst of any trying circumstances, Father, You know us more intimately than we know ourselves..."Search me [thoroughly],O God, and know my heart! Try me and know my thoughts! And see if there is any wicked or hurtful way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting."Ps. 139

esus we need a revival poured out in this country. Your people need awakened. I remember the simple hunger for more of You in the 70's....we couldn't wait for the next time we could gather to hear Your Words...to worship You.

God, please pour Your Spirit out on Your people today. Renew us, revive us, awaken us. Sometimes I think we've become like that frog placed in cold water and the heat was turned up but it didn't realize until it was burned. God don't allow us to wallow in complacency...believing in You, yet without the passionate relationship. Sound the battle cry for this country....Your ways are not ours and the ways of this world are corrupting us and destroying the soul of humanity. God tell us how to pray.

Put a stop to useless new laws,take down politicians not of Your will....raise up a new standard.

true, honorable, right, pure, lovely, good repute, excellence, worthy of praise

Cause these things to be our focus....

to lay aside grumblings and complaining...to hit our knees before You

to worship You

to hear Your thoughts

to intercede

May Your standard arise within us!

In Jesus name, AMEN

ONCE we understand His thoughts, his standards, may WE then SPEAK with AUTHORITY and CONVICTION :)...see below:

Why are you in despair, O my soul?
And why have you become disturbed within me?
Hope in God, for I shall again praise Him
For the help of His presence.
Ps. 42:5
