Daily Prayer For July 15, 2020

Hello Friends! Here is the prayer for today…

Dear Heavenly Father,

As we gather together today, we ask once again for your divine intervention to eradicate this virus that is attacking our world. We are so grateful that the death toll is dropping and we thank you for that. But, even with that good news, the cases are surging. In many places where businesses were beginning to get back up and running again, they have now had to shut back down. So many people we know are struggling financially and are losing everything. So many businesses will never be able to open again. Children need to get back to school. Here in California, our churches are shut down indefinitely and they will not tell us when we might open them again.

Father, we need your help. We bow before you and ask for your grace and mercy to rain down on us. There are so many dark forces at work in our world. Around the world we see churches being burned, Christians being persecuted, freedoms being lost and so much more… all that is going on is beyond us, but not beyond what you can do. So many places have leadership that is not standing up for their citizens and have their own agenda. Father, please hear our cries. We humble ourselves before you. We know that our world has defied you and denied you and they need you…so many just don’t know that…they don’t know that you are real because they haven’t been taught. So many young people today have not grown up in God-fearing homes. Our world looks so different from the way it was when we grew up where you were allowed in our schools and community activities.

Father, you tell us that if we humble ourselves, pray, seek your face, and turn from our wicked ways, you will hear and heal our land. We are prostrated before you and ask you to forgive us. We know we deserve everything that is happening here. We can only ask for your forgiveness and your mercy. We pray that there would be a great awakening…that many would have their eyes opened to who you are and give their lives to you. We pray that the church would be on fire for you and stand up collectively and be a force for what is right and good…that we would be salt in this world that has lost its saltiness and that your light would shine forth from us to illuminate the darkness. May the changes we want to see start with us and spread like fire around the world.

Speak to our hearts, Father. Show us all that we should do as we wait on you, to do what only you can do. Please show your self strong in the midst of our weakness. Please restore what the enemy has stolen. Overcome evil with good. Shine your light on all that’s been hidden and reveal the truth of all that’s been happening behind the scenes to create the chaos that we see in this world. We look to you because we know where our help comes from. Thank you in advance for all you will do. May your will be done. In the name of our Savior Jesus, we ask these things. Amen.

Thanks for praying with me, friends!
