FATHER GOD
WE COME TO YOU THIS MORNING TO PRAY FOR OUR
BEAUTIFUL COUNTRY, SOUTH AFRICA. WE LIFT HER
UP BEFORE YOUR THRONE OF GRACE AND PRAY
THAT YOU WILL BRING PEACE, CALM, HARMONY,
WHOLENESS, AND BALANCE BY THE SURPASSING
GREATNESS OF YOUR POWER.
WE PRAY THAT BY YOUR GREAT POWER AND YOUR
OUTSTRETCHED ARM YOU WILL INTERVENE AND
DESTROY THIS SPIRIT OF REBELLION AND
DESTRUCTION. WE PRAY THAT YOU WILL POUR OUT
YOUR LIGHT AND BRING OUT THOSE WHO ARE
ACTING MALICIOUSLY FROM THE KINGDOM OF
DARKNESS INTO THE KINGDOM OF YOUR
MARVELLOUS LIGHT.
YOU ARE THE MIGHTY ONE, GOD THE LORD, AND WE
PRAY THAT YOU WILL REDEEM WITH YOUR POWER-
FUL HAND, THOSE FROM THE HOUSE OF SLAVERY
WHO ARE ACTING IN HATRED AND SPITEFUL BITTER-
NESS TO CAUSE HARM TO OTHERS.
AS YOUR CHILDREN, FATHER, WE DECLARE THAT
NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE WITH YOU. WE PRAY THAT
YOU WILL POUR OUT YOUR LOVE INTO THE HEARTS
OF THOSE WHO ACT IN HATRED. WE PRAY THAT YOU
WILL POUR THE HEALING BALM OF HEAVEN INTO
THE HEARTS OF MEN AND WOMEN FUELLED BY
GREED AND DISCONTENT. SPEAK PEACE AND
HEALING OVER THIS COUNTRY, LORD. WE PRAY
THAT YOU, THE VICTORIOUS WARRIOR WHO HAS
CONQUERED AND WILL CONQUER ALL EVIL, WILL BE
IN OUR MIDST.
WE PRAY THAT YOU WILL POUR OUT YOUR
BLESSINGS ONCE AGAIN. WE PRAY THAT YOU WILL
SPEAK REDEEMING LIFE OVER THOSE WHO ARE
DEAD IN THEIR SINS. MAKE THEM ALIVE IN CHRIST
AND FORGIVE THEIR SINS. THOSE WHOSE SINFUL
MINDS HAVE BEEN MADE PROUD BECAUSE THEY
ARE NOT CONNECTED TO CHRIST, RAISE THEM INTO
NEW LIFE WITH CHRIST SO THAT TOGETHER, WE CAN
SET OUR SIGHTS ON THE REALITIES OF HEAVEN.
MAKE BLINDED EYES TO SEE THAT CHRIST IS ALL
THAT MATTERS. MAKE US A NATION CLOTHED WITH
TENDER-HEARTED MERCY, KINDNESS, HUMILITY,
GENTLENESS AND PATIENCE. ABOVE ALL, CLOTHE
US WITH YOUR LOVE WHICH BINDS US TOGETHER IN
PERFECT HARMONY. AND LET THE PEACE THAT
COMES FROM CHRIST RULE IN OUR HEARTS.
WE PRAY THAT THE MESSAGE OF CHRIST, IN ALL ITS
RICHNESS, WILL FILL EACH AND EVERY LIFE. IN THE
ALL-POWERFUL NAME OF JESUS CHRIST, THE SON OF
THE LIVING GOD, WE PRAY THIS, FATHER. LET IT BE
SO. AMEN.
