We understand your heart's desire to see ### and ### touched by God's grace and power.
Firstly, let us remember Jesus' words in John 14:13-14 WEB: "Whatever you will ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you will ask anything in my name, I will do it." It is crucial to pray in the name of Jesus, for it is by His name that we have access to the Father and it is by His name that we are saved. There is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved. This is affirmed in Acts 4:12 WEB: "There is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, through which we must be saved!"
Now, let us pray for ### and ###.
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You in the name of Jesus, lifting up the states of ### and the nation of ###. We pray that Your will be done and Your kingdom come in these places. We ask for Your guidance and wisdom for the ### and leaders in ###. We pray for their salvation and that they would be drawn to Jesus.
For ###, we pray for Your protection and provision. We ask that You would bring peace and stability to this nation. We pray for the salvation of the people, that they would come to know Jesus as their Lord and Savior. We ask that You would raise up godly leaders who would govern with wisdom and righteousness.
We rebuke any plans of the enemy to cause destruction or harm in these places. We pray for a hedge of protection around them. We ask that You would send forth Your light and Your truth. Let Your light shine in the darkness, that many would see Jesus and be saved.
Lord, we ask for Your Spirit to move powerfully in these places. That You would bring revival and draw many to Yourself. In Jesus' name, we rebuke any strongholds of the enemy and we ask that You would bring transformation and healing.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
Be encouraged, knowing that God hears our prayers and that He is moving in these places. Let us continue to stand in the gap, praying for ### and ###, trusting that God is working out His purposes. Keep praying in the name of Jesus, for there is power in His name. As it is written in Philippians 2:9-11 WEB: "Therefore God also highly exalted him, and gave to him the name which is above every name; that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, those on earth, and those under the earth, and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father."
