In honor of National Day of Prayer in America this week (May 3), here are a few more prayers you can pray–for our nation, for media and for the Armed Forces.
God Bless America
I praise you Lord, and thank you for this great nation. God has blessed America! Thank your for peace. Thank you for the freedom to speak and be heard, and to vote for elected leaders. Although we are a diverse and independent nation, I pray that we would respect each other and uphold godly values as we seek to honor the authority of those who govern our land. Please keep the United States united in one strong country that seeks your face and favor.
Media and Entertainment Industry
Lord, I ask in Jesus’ name that you would bring Your light to the dark places of Hollywood and the entertainment industry. Please rise up creative people with life-giving values to write and produce media that is positive, not destructive. I pray against the negative messages and intense violence and sexuality portrayed on the Internet, TV and movies, and in books, music, magazines, and other media. I ask, seek, and knock on Your door. Open the way for a bright new day in our nation’s entertainment and media choices.
Prayer for the Armed Forces
Lord, I thank you for all of the men and women serving in our armed forces. They choose to put their life on the line so we can have freedom and peace, and for that I am truly grateful. I ask that You would bless them for their loyalty and service. Protect them and keep them safe. Comfort them and give them strength when they are away from loved ones. Bless, too, the families who send soldiers to war or for duty overseas. I pray that You would meet their every need.
Stay tuned for more prayers for our nation tomorrow…
