In the days to come, in a deep and wonderful way, Oh Lord, we pray that You would truly bless America.

Bless America

In 1988, Billy Graham gave the benediction at BOTH the Republican National Convention and the Democratic National Convention. While personalizing his message to each audience, he didn’t shy away from crying out to God.

He refused to endorse a party or espouse their party line.

It was a different time in America.

Billy Graham asked God,

“We pray for all those who are suffering need and pain and despair tonight. Without Your strength and Your help we cannot be the kind of people that we need to be in our troubled world.”

Right With God

“Oh, God, we are America, and we know how much our hearts need to be right with You. We pray for a moral and spiritual renewal that could begin in each of us tonight and spread throughout the land.”

“We pray for the people of the United States during the campaign and election that Your will be done in the choice of leaders. May the people seek Your guidance in whom they should vote for. As Abraham Lincoln once said, “I have decided that all my words and acts may be according to His will.”

God Bless America

“In the days to come, in a deep and wonderful way, Oh Lord, we pray that You would truly bless America.”

“The Lord bless you and keep you. The Lord make his face shine upon you and be gracious to you; the Lord turn his face toward you and give you peace” (Numbers 6:24-26).

My prayer is, “Lord, bless America. Do it in a fresh way. Heal the nation. Start with your Church. Your shepherds would repent, preach Jesus crucified, resurrected, King, Healer, Baptizer. That people would get right with God, their families, their neighbours, their enemies. Birth a new day in America, not of Christian nationalism but your kingdom come, your will be done.”
