STOP… AND PRAY For Our Nation
We hear it often… and we say it just as much:
“Please pray for me…”
“I’ll pray for you…”
But is that lip service, or life service?
If we answer the question honestly, it’s very easy to just go through the motions and make a superficial effort.
Which is why we see our nation in decay today.
But, what if… WHAT IF… we prayed the way were instructed by the father?
Repentance.
Humility.
Fasting.
Unceasingly.
What if… WHAT IF… we prayed like Nehemiah… and Jeremiah… and Ezekiel… and Isaiah?
They showed us how to do it… and they didn’t play around.
And guess what happened?
The Father Moved.
We wanted to take time this week to get back to root of everything, given everything that we face today.
This week, we PRAY.
We’ll take a look at a prayer from Turning Point Academy, courtesy of SurvivalBlog.com, in a moment.

Please Pray For Our Nation
From SurvivalBlog.com:
There are now just 20 days to the November U.S. presidential election. The next three weeks should be a time of concerted prayer — personally, and with your family and fellow church congregants.
Blog reader L.B. suggested this prayer list published by Turning Point Academy:
“Seek the Lord while he may be found; call upon him while he is near.” – Isaiah 55:6
Pray our nation will seek God in Repentance, Humility, and Prayer.
Consecrate a fast; call a solemn assembly. Gather the elders and all the inhabitants of the land to the house of the LORD your God, and cry out to the LORD. (Joel 1:14)
“Yet even now,” declares the LORD, “return to me with all your heart, with fasting, with weeping, and with mourning; and rend your hearts and not your garments.” Return to the LORD. (Joel 2:12-13a)
Pray a spirit of repentance and hunger for God’s word might sweep our nation.
The fear of the LORD is hatred of evil. Pride and arrogance and the way of evil and perverted speech I hate. (Proverbs 8:13)
Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand. (Matthew 4:17)
No, I tell you; but unless you repent, you will all likewise perish. (Luke 13:3)
Pray our culture would better understand biblical justice and righteousness
To do righteousness and justice is more acceptable to the LORD than sacrifice. (Proverbs 21:3)
Pray God would expose public corruption and root it out.
Unequal weights are an abomination to the LORD, and false scales are not good. (Proverbs 20:23) The LORD abhors the bloodthirsty and deceitful man. (Proverbs 5:6)
Pray for the protection of life from the womb and a renewed reverence for biblical marriage
For you formed my inward parts; you knitted me together in my mother’s womb. (Psalm 139:13)
But from the beginning of creation, ‘God made them male and female.’ Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and hold fast to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh. So they are no longer two, but one flesh. What therefore God has joined together, let not man separate. (Mark 13:6-9)
Pray for the preservation of religious liberty
For freedom Christ has set us free; stand firm therefore, and do not submit again to a yoke of slavery. (Galatians 5:1)
Pray for discernment, wisdom, and guidance for people in these confusing days.
I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you with my eye upon you. (Psalm 32:8)
Pray for the protection of our nation and that God might stop any terrorist or other attacks.
But let all who take refuge in you rejoice; let them ever sing for joy, and spread your protection over them, that those who love your name may exult in you. For you bless the righteous, O LORD; you cover him with favor as with a shield. (Psalm 5:11-12)
Let the wicked fall into their own nets, while I pass by safely. (Psalm 141:10)
Our help is in the name of the LORD, who made heaven and earth (Psalm 124:8)
Pray for honest and truthful elections and that any attempts to cheat will fail.
Vindicate me, O God, and defend my cause against an ungodly people, from the deceitful and unjust man deliver me! (Psalm 43:1)
Pray for leaders who pursue truth, righteousness, and justice.
He has told you, O man, what is good; and what does the LORD require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God. (Micah 6:8)
Hate evil, and love good, and establish justice in the gate. (Amos 5:15a)

JWR Adds: My personal daily prayers include this: “Father God, I pray for Your guidance, providence, and protection for all of Your elect, all over the world — and for a place of hiding and even invisibility to those who would persecute us, in these Last Days. I pray this in the name of Christ Jesus, Amen.”
We’ll wrap up this week’s edition of We Are The Watchmen Weekly, after this.
Did you realize that even something like a solar flare can knock out your electronics? Or kill your car?
Yikes.
Best to be protected right? But what to do?
Our friends at EMP Shield have it figured out. These guys are brilliant. They have EMP Shields for your car, home, and generator.
Pulling It Together
Satan knows that once we start down the road of compromising on real prayer, compromising on everything else will surely follow.
That presents us, as believers, with a wonderful opportunity to tie scripture into the mainstream. In a world where even non-believers can see basic morals and values being compromised every day, they are asking a logical question…
Why?
And that’s where scripture provides the answers.
We Are The Watchmen Weekly provides easy and practical ways to tie scripture into what’s happening right now.
