Prayer for the Nation

Editor’s Note: Introduction written by Angelika Selle.

Every Saturday, women and mothers of all faiths and backgrounds gather on a conference call phone line to pray for Peace in Europe, between Ukraine and Russia and for Peace and Healing in our own nation of America.

Below is a special prayer spoken and written by Minister Fannie Smith, which became our standard prayer we read at every session since it truly expresses the heart, spirit and purpose of our inspiring weekly prayer calls.

Please, use it also for your daily prayers if it moves your heart!

Prayer for the Nation

Minister Fannie Smith

Let us pray as we enter into the realm of the most Holy. Father God as we pray for the Nation, let our leaders be people who honor your holy name for it is only from you that they receive True wisdom. 

We come to you because the people of this nation and everything in it belongs to you.  We are not here by accident! Our existence is given to magnify your name, care for others, and to shine a light in dark places. Oh Heavenly Parent, people of this country are turning against each other. Families are cracking, communities are not committed, and childhood is being stolen from our young people.

We come to your throne on bended knees, asking you to heal our hearts, heal our land. Remove the bitterness, and hatred that sometimes seem to come from the very water we drink or air we breathe. Keep our prayer vigils on this call strong, as we pray for leaders around the world. Intercede like at Pentecost, where each nation can understand the tongue spoken by other nations. We believe that you are the true and living God. Let our light shine so that others can see our good works, and be examples. We will continue to worship you in Spirit and in Truth. 

In Jesus name we Believe and Pray.

Amen, Amen.
