Our nation’s only hope is Divine intervention! \u00a0Scripture says that the heart of the king is in the hand of the Lord. \u00a0The Lord Jesus Christ is King of kings and Lord of Lords. \u00a0May HE rule through our earthly leaders! \u00a0\u201cSome trust in chariots and some in horses but we will remember the name of the Lord our God. \u00a0It is better to trust in the Lord than to put confidence in leaders.\u201d (Psalm 20:7, Psalm 118:9) \u00a0Jesus Christ is the prince of Peace and He has come to bring peace on Earth and good will to all mankind. \u00a0All hail King JESUS!<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The Scriptures are filled with words that are fitting for our day and age. \u00a0Man\u2019s words will all fade away but the Word of the Lord shall stand forever! \u00a0Therefore I urge you to pray in accordance with God\u2019s Word, so that God\u2019s will might be done on Earth as it is in Heaven.<\/span> \u00a0<\/span>Personalize the following Scriptures and make them specific to the present situation. \u00a0Please take time to pray through these Scriptures and trust God Almighty to bring them to pass.

Prayers of Mercy
\n<\/span><\/span><\/span>
\n<\/span><\/span>Psalm 103:8-13
\n<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The LORD is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and plenteous in mercy.
\nHe will not always chide: neither will he keep his anger for ever.
\n<\/b><\/span><\/span>He hath not dealt with us after our sins; nor rewarded us according to our iniquities.
\nFor as the heaven is high above the earth, so great is his mercy toward them that fear him.
\nAs far as the east is from the west, so far hath he removed our transgressions from us.
\nLike as a father pities his children, so the LORD pities them that fear him.<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Lamentations 3:22-23
\n<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

It is of the LORD’s mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not.
\nThey are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness.
\n<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Psalm 85:6-7
\n<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Wilt thou not revive us again: that thy people may rejoice in thee?
\nShow us thy mercy, O LORD, and grant us thy salvation.<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Psalm 89:14-18
\n<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Justice and judgment are the habitation of thy throne: mercy and truth shall go before thy face.
\nBlessed is the people that know the joyful sound: they shall walk, O LORD, in the light of thy countenance.
\nIn thy name shall they rejoice all the day: and in thy righteousness shall they be exalted.
\nFor thou art the glory of their strength: and in thy favor our horn shall be exalted.
\nFor the LORD is our defense; and the Holy One of Israel is our king.<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Psalm 118:29
\n<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

O give thanks unto the LORD; for he is good: for his mercy endures for ever.<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\n

Prayers of Deliverance
\n<\/span><\/span><\/span>
\n<\/span><\/span>Psalm 79:8-9
\n<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

O remember not against us former iniquities: let thy tender mercies speedily prevent us: for we are brought very low.
\nHelp us, O God of our salvation, for the glory of thy name: and deliver us, and purge away our sins, for thy name’s sake.
\n<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Psalm 140:1-9, 11-13
\n<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Deliver me, O LORD, from the evil man: preserve me from the violent man;
\nWhich imagine mischiefs in their heart; continually are they gathered together for war.
\nThey have sharpened their tongues like a serpent; adders’ poison is under their lips. Selah.
\nKeep me, O LORD, from the hands of the wicked; preserve me from the violent man; who have purposed to overthrow my goings.
\nThe proud have hid a snare for me, and cords; they have spread a net by the wayside; they have set gins for me. Selah.
\nI said unto the LORD, Thou art my God: hear the voice of my supplications, O LORD.
\nO GOD the Lord, the strength of my salvation, thou hast covered my head in the day of battle.
\nGrant not, O LORD, the desires of the wicked: further not his wicked device; lest they exalt themselves. Selah.
\nAs for the head of those that compass me about, let the mischief of their own lips cover them.
\nLet not an evil speaker be established in the earth: evil shall hunt the violent man to overthrow him.
\nI know that the LORD will maintain the cause of the afflicted, and the right of the poor.
\nSurely the righteous shall give thanks unto thy name: the upright shall dwell in thy presence.<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Prayers of Protection
\n<\/span><\/span><\/span>
\n<\/span><\/span>Psalm 138:3, 7-8
\n<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

In the day when I cried thou answered me, and strengthened me with strength in my soul.
\nThough I walk in the midst of trouble, thou wilt revive me: thou shalt stretch forth thine hand against the wrath of mine enemies, and thy right hand shall save me.
\nThe LORD will perfect that which concerns me: thy mercy, O LORD, endures for ever: forsake not the works of thine own hands.
\n<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Psalm 106:8
\n<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Nevertheless He saved them for His name’s sake, that He might make His mighty power to be known.
\n<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span>
