Father God, I thank You for renewing a right spirit within me. Thank You Lord for renewing the plans You have for this year for me. I know that You will keep Your promises and bring me into a closer relationship with Your Son Jesus. I thank you that You will preserve me in difficult situations and cause me to endure as I wait on my miracle. My heart is clean and my faith is in You in every promise, everyday. Amen.

"Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right, persevering, and steadfast spirit within me.”

Heavenly Father, we come asking the blessing of wisdom for our elected officials across the nation. Thank You for giving each an extra measure of enlightenment to govern. May they be strengthened by Your teachings in the Holy Scriptures to better fulfill their duties. May these teachings enlighten their decisions. May they put aside personal ambitions and speak truth in all situations. May God direct their thoughts and behaviors as they strive to govern for the betterment of all the people. We pray for our elected leaders to be your dutiful servants, in Jesus’ name. Amen.

"Let everyone be subject to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God.”

— Romans 13:1 (NIV) (Jerusalem)

Merciful Father, protect us in our struggles; grant us your divine mercy as we make our journey through another Lenten season. Make this for us a holy season marked by our self denial and our outpouring of love for each other, especially to those who are poor and deprived. We make our prayer through Christ our Lord. Amen.

"Order a fast, proclaim a solemn assembly; Elders, call together all the inhabitants of the country to the house of God. Cry out to Yahweh, 'Oh what a day! For the day of Yahweh is near, it comes as a devastation from Shaddai'. ”
