Prayer for Debate & Fast
I have combined prayers from Aziza, Tsitsi, Clarenda and others to come up with this prayer for the debates. I will be using it for many prayers beyond the debate and modifying it to fit the situation as I find the words to be very inspiring. I wanted to share this with you in case you like it and want to use it to. Here it is:
The LORD, the Mighty One in Battle. Jehovah, covenant keeping God. Hallowed be Thy holy name. Lord of Host. Captain of the Armies of Heaven. Our Creator. Our loving Father - we give You all the praise. We give You all the glory. We give You all the honor. We give You the Power.
The One who parts the mighty ocean with Your breath. The One who can kill and make alive. The Rock of Ages, Master Shepherd. O, King of Glory. All the nations adore You. All living things bear witness to Your rule. We behold the splendor of Your throne. We bow before You LORD. We submit entirely to Your will. We return the Glory to You.
Lord, we stand in the gap for the Nation and for Your servant Barack Obama. At a time like this when the peace and security and prosperity of our great country is threatened, our children's future is unsure, LORD we turn to You and take the authority that Jesus gave to us, we claim the land for You and pray that only Your will be done in this election.
Lord we turn to You and take the authority that Jesus gave to us, we clam favor upon Barack Obama in this upcoming debate. We claim his solid preparation, clear mind, wisdom, understanding of the issues, clarity of
speech, strong articulation, insightful discernment and his being solidly on message concerning the needs of the people and the nation to the awe and amazement of all who hear him.
Lord we take the authority that Jesus gave to us and we claim enlightenment for the American people that their eyes and ears are open to see and hear the truth about Barack Obama and that all prejudices, smears, doubts and fears are removed.
We take authority over the United States of America and we speak to the nation: "Be loose from the chains of darkness, from the spirits of blindness; be free from lies and deceit!"
Lord, we reclaim the White House for You. We claim the Oval office for Barack Obama. We declare that all forces in opposition to Your will in this presidential election be defeated and Your will be done in the White House.
In Jesus' name we pray, Amen!
