Today is Friday, October 21st, 2016; Karen's Korner #3420

Today's Karen's Korner is all taken from Focus on the Family's '31 Days of Prayer' for our nation prior to our election. There are lots of bits and pieces:  Bible verses; prayers by Christian leaders you may or may not know plus the 31 individual daily prayers.

Here are a couple of parts:


"If my people who are called by my name humble themselves, and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and heal their land."

~ 2 Chronicles 7:14 ESV

"Almighty Father,

You have place us in a time and in a season where we are allowed the privilege of participating in our government. Lord, we pray that we would steward the responsibilities of our democracy well. We pray we would discharge our responsibilities as citizens in a way that honors You and magnifies Your sovereignty and kingship over all. Father, we pray that You will give us leaders, congress people, senators, justices, and presidents who will uphold righteousness and do justice. We pray for leaders who value the dignity of every human life.

In Christ's name we pray. Amen."

PRAYER FOR FRIDAY:

Day 20:  Pray for healing in our nation.

"Heavenly Father,

America stands divided for so many reasons---violence, racial tensions, immorality, and more. I pray that You will bring healing and peace to our nation. We cannot achieve true unity without Your hand of grace and mercy. From leaders in our government, to my family members, I ask You to soften hearts and foster unity. In Jesus' name. Amen."

PRAYER FOR SATURDAY:

Day 22:  Pray for our military.

"Heavenly Father,

I'm thankful for a military to guard and protect America's freedom here and around the world. I pray that You will cover our military service members and their families with a far-reaching shield of protection. Ensure our nation continues to support these brave men and women of our military as deserving heroes. In Jesus' name. Amen."
