3 Prayer Priorities for America, September 2018

Dear Men, Women, and Students of Prayer,

We need to mobilize thousands of churches and ministries, comprised of millions of people who will pray for America this month. Our nation needs prayer beyond what it has ever needed before.

Join us in this grand effort to rally as many people as possible to pray for America this month according to these suggested prayer priorities. Just imagine how powerful it would be if each of us did this. Please join us now.

Share these prayer priorities everywhere you can and join us as we rally people in prayer for America this September.

PRAYER PRIORITY #1: ASK GOD TO BE A SHIELD IN AND AROUND OUR NATION AS WE PRAY ON SEPTEMBER 11 AND THEN EACH DAY THIS MONTH, FOR THE SECURITY AND PROTECTION OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. 

“But You, Lord, are a shield around me.” Psalm 3:3

• Oh Lord, we pray in humility for our nation to be secure and protected from anyone, any group, or any country who desires to harm us.
• Sovereign God, You are our Defender and Shield, so we pray for You to guard us from evil and harm within our nation and from outside our nation.
• Our Great God, we ask You even more specifically:
  • Shield and protect all people in our schools and universities in America from all harm
  • Shield and protect all people in our churches in America from all harm
  • Shield and protect all people in any public gathering in America from all harm
  • Shield and protect all the members of our military in America and beyond from all harm
  • Shield and protect all of our first responders who serve across this nation from all harm
  • Shield and protect all the leaders of our nation from all harm
• Father in Heaven, we ask You to lead, bless, and anoint all special gatherings of prayer for our nation on September 11, and hear the prayers of Your people as they cry out to You for the security and protection of the United States of America.

PRAYER PRIORITY #2: APPEAL TO GOD FOR HIM TO RAISE UP RIGHTEOUS LEADERS ACROSS OUR NATION IN EVERY SPHERE OF INFLUENCE IN AMERICA.

“When the righteous flourish, the people rejoice, but when the wicked rule, people groan.” Proverbs 29:2

• Gracious God, raise up righteous leaders who will lead every town, city, state, and in every area of government in the United States of America.
• Lord Almighty, raise up righteous leaders to go into our military and be placed in positions of influence.
• Lord of Hosts, raise up righteous leaders to lead and influence every area of education in the schools and universities of the United States of America.
• Sovereign God, raise up righteous leaders to lead and influence all private and public businesses and corporations in the United States of America.
• God, raise up righteous leaders to lead and influence all spheres and channels of media and communication in the United States of America.
• Holy Spirit of God, raise up righteous leaders to lead and influence Your local churches in the United States of America toward spiritual revival and awakening.
• Heavenly Father, raise up righteous leaders to lead and influence each member of every family in the United States of America.

IMMEDIATE PRAYER REQUEST
“Mankind, he has told each of you what is good and what it is the Lord requires of you: to act justly, to love faithfulness, and to walk humbly with your God.” Micah 6:8
• Sovereign Lord of Hosts, since You channel the hearts of leaders, we pray for God’s will relating to Brett Kavanaugh as the next Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States. Lord, if You have chosen him for this role, may he be confirmed. Protect Judge Kavanaugh and the members of his family as he undergoes the confirmation hearings.

PRAYER PRIORITY #3: APPROACH GOD BOLDLY TO EMPOWER AND LEAD THE LEADERS OF ALL PRAYER MINISTRIES TO ADVANCE A STRATEGY OF PRAYER FOR AMERICA. 

“When they had prayed, the place where they were assembled was shaken, and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak the word of God boldly.” Acts 4:31

• Holy Spirit, empower leaders of all prayer ministries to be filled with the Holy Spirit and anointed to lead their ministries toward advancing the gospel of Jesus Christ across the world.
• Lord God of Heaven, empower and lead these prayer leaders of prayer ministries to come together, walk in unity, and work toward advancing a strategy of prayer for America.
• Almighty God, empower and lead Dr. Ronnie Floyd and everyone leading the upcoming 2018 National Leadership Summit of the National Day of Prayer, which will advance a strategy of prayer for America. (Anyone interested in assisting in leading in prayer for America is welcome to come to this Leadership Summit. Sign up at nationaldayofprayer.com/summit)
• Spirit of the Lord, reveal Your theme to Dr. Floyd and his team for the upcoming National Day of Prayer on Thursday, May 2, 2019.
• Lord Jesus Christ, raise up every pastor in America to become a minister who believes in prayer deeply, practices it personally, and leads in prayer publicly and boldly.

Now is the Time to Lead and to Pray for America,
