With profound gratitude, we thank You, Lord, for the bountiful blessings You have bestowed upon America. As a nation, we recognize that all good things originate from Your divine hand.
Let us come into His presence with thanksgiving. Psalm 95:2
“I have just repeated word for word the oath taken by George Washington 200 years ago, and the Bible on which I place my hand is the Bible on which he placed his.. My first act as President is a prayer. Heavenly Father, we bow our heads and thank You for Your love. Accept our thanks for the peace that yields this day and the shared faith that makes its continuance likely. Make us strong to do Your work, willing to heed and hear Your will, and write on our hearts these words: ‘Use power to help people.’ For we are given power not to advance our own purposes, nor to make a great show in the world, nor a name. There is but one just use of power, and it is to serve people. Help us to remember it, Lord. Amen.” ~ President George H. W. Bush – January 20, 1989
Operation World: Pray for South Africa. Pray for all in government and leadership, that the priorities would be justice, righteousness, and economic improvement for all. In the 2024 election, the ANC lost its majority for the first time since apartheid ended – a sure sign that South Africans want change. Greater transparency, a more mature democracy, and free press, would all help combat corruption and deception. The nation faces high rates of rape and violent crime. The legacy of racism and injustice do not justify the lawlessness and wickedness evident. Pray that the spirit of violence, both physical and sexual, might be bound under the authority of Christ.
Jeremiah 29:13 (NLT) If you look for me wholeheartedly, you will find me.
