Good morning, Lord Jesus. Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, align my spirit, soul, and body with Your purpose, passion, and power for my life this day. …
“If you will only obey the Lord your God, by diligently observing all His commandments that I am commanding you today, the Lord your God will set you high above all the nations of the earth; all these blessings shall come upon you and overtake you, if you obey the Lord your God: Blessed shall you be in the city, and blessed shall you be in the field…. The Lord will cause your enemies who rise against you to be defeated before you; they shall come out against you one way, and flee before you seven ways. The Lord will command the blessing upon you in your barns, and in all that you undertake; He will bless you in the land that the Lord your God is giving you. The Lord will establish you as His holy people, as He has sworn to you, if you keep the commandments of the Lord and walk in His ways” (Deuteronomy 28:1-9).
I pray for Israel, I pray for America, I pray for all the nations of the world to turn to You, to seek Your face, to humble themselves, and to pray. Align us with Your blessings, not the curse, with Your protection, not destruction, with Your purposes, not our agendas. Your heart is mercy and blessing for all who call upon Your name. But when we turn away from You and toward ourselves, letting our own thoughts and desires become our god and law, we bring ourselves out from under Your hand of protection and open ourselves to destruction (v. 28:15-68).
And whatever destruction we endure always breaks Your heart, because Your heart is always that mercy would triumph over judgment (James 2:13). As You have said to Israel, so You say to all people of all nations of all generations: “Cast away from you all the transgressions that you have committed against Me, and get yourselves a new heart and a new spirit! Why will you die, O house of Israel? For I have no pleasure in the death of anyone, says the Lord God. Turn, then, and live” (Ezekiel 18:31-32).
As best as I can and all by Your grace, on behalf of myself and my nation and as far as Your grace will go, I turn to You and live in You. Give me Your heart and Spirit. Give us Your heart and Spirit. Restore us to the place of Your provision and protection, to Your blessings and benefits, as we turn again our souls to You (Psalm 103:1-5).
Align us, protect us, and empower us for Your purposes and plans for our lives, individually and as a nation (Jeremiah 29:11). This is Your Father heart for each of us—the blessings of God for the children of God (Luke 15:11-32). Blessed is the nation, exceptional is the nation, whose people humble their selves to put their hope and trust in the Lord our God (Psalm 33:12). In Jesus’ name I pray, Amen.
