Tenacious God,
We your faithful people sing the praises of the Lord, for we know your anger and our weeping may stay for the night but rejoicing comes in the morning. Thank you that you go before us and never leave us or forsake us. Thank you that we do not fear or suffer discouragement because you are our God. Father, we ask you for the fulfillment of the dreams you have given to tell us your plans for this nation. We ask for a tenacious spirit to be imparted to the Spirit-led Church in America. Give us fervent passion to see Your kingdom come, Your will be done in this nation. May we fight for Your purposes as we would fight to save our lives. Bring fresh revelation of Your plan to use America as a strong voice on earth for the gospel of your Kingdom. We pray that this would be revived in our day. We are not of those who turn back. We have put our hand to the plow and we will persevere until we see the total restoration of America. We will plow, Father, until we see the fires of revival burning across this nation and other nations of the earth. We decree over Washington D.C. that the evil strategies of darkness will not prevail. Those who do not want us to be a nation that follows God and His Word, will not succeed in stealing America’s destiny. We ask You, Father, for a complete overhaul of our nation’s capital. We ask for righteous leaders who boldly honor You and Your ways, who love life and protect the babies. We ask for leaders who honor Your definition of marriage and covenant keeping. And we petition You for government leaders who believe in and speak Truth. We pray these things in Christ’s name. Amen.
“God’s Word is perfect in every way; how it revives our souls!
His laws lead us to truth, and His ways change the simple into wise.
His teachings make us joyful and radiate His light; His precepts are so pure!
His commands, how they challenge us to keep close to His heart!
The revelation-light of His word makes my spirit shine radiant.
Every one of the Lord’s commands is right; following them brings cheer.
Nothing He says ever needs to be changed.” (Psalm 19: 7-9 TPT)
“Sing the praises of the Lord, you his faithful people;
praise his holy name.
For his anger lasts only a moment,
but his favor lasts a lifetime;
weeping may stay for the night,
but rejoicing comes in the morning.” Psalm 30:4-5 NIV)
“But Jesus said to him, ‘No one, after putting his hand to the plow and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.’” (Luke 9:62)
“The Lord himself goes before you and will be with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged.” (Deuteronomy 31:8 NIV)
…never give in, never give in, never, never, never, never in nothing, great or small, large or petty – never give in except to convictions of honor and good sense. Never yield to force; never yield to the apparently overwhelming might of the enemy. Do not let us speak of darker days: let us speak rather of sterner days. These are not dark days; these are great days – the greatest days our country has ever lived; and we must all thank God that we have been allowed, each of us according to our stations, to play a part in making these days memorable in the history of our race.” – Winston Churchill
