Prayer for National Security

I was watching the news this morning and it seems that some nuclear material is 'missing' from Russia and it's feared that terrorist have it and their intent is to use it on the US. I would just like to pray for our country today. I want to pray for the leaders, the soldiers at home and abroad, and the citizens of the United States. Some say that It's only a matter of time before another Terror Strike occurs... Well I suppose that could be true. But one could say that about anything. But there's no denying the power of prayer so let's join together in lifting our Nation up today.

Dear Heavenly Father,

I pray today for your continued blessings on America. Lord, protect us from our enemies. Father, change the hearts of our adversaries. Change our hearts, too. Let our country draw close to You. Let the body of Christ in America influence our nation through acts of grace and mercy and bathe this country in constant prayer.

Protect our Soldiers at home and abroad. Give our leaders your wisdom to rule and make good and just decisions. Lift up John Negroponte to accept the President's nomination as National Intelligence Director. Raise up more Godly judges and politicians. And I pray that the message of Eternal Salvation is delivered to every corner of our country. Father, help me do my part. Let me be a good steward of your blessings and present a strong witness to the world of what a true follower of Christ looks like.

Lord Jesus I pray these things in Your Holy Name, Amen.
