Dear Heavenly Father,

Praised are you my Lord and may your holy name be praised in the heavens above and on the earth below for ever and ever.

Thank you for bringing me to this day, for waking me and breathing life into my soul.  Thank you for blessing me with one more day to spend with those I love and one more chance to be your light in this world.  Father, please grant me the strength and the wisdom to walk in your word and to show your love.  Please fill me with mercy so that I may be as forgiving with others just as you have been forgiving with me.  Father, I pray that you never remove your face from before me and that you continue to guide my steps along your narrow path.

Please my Lord, purge this country of the wickedness that has risen up and overtaken your children.  Remove the evil from the land, not be killing your children, but by banishing the spirit that causes them to sin.  Bring your children back to you my Lord and drive the evil away.  This world is yours not Satan's.  This world is your creation and it does not belong to him.  For too many years your sheep have been deceived by the Evil One. For too many years people have found the flesh more to their liking than your spirit.  Satan has truly driven your sheep from the pen and has taken them for himself, but like Jacob, those you choose continue to thrive while those left to Satan continue to be blemished.  Father, you have the glory and the strength to remove the evil from the land to you have the mercy and the grace to bless this land once more.  Father, please, cause those who have turned away from you to repent and turn back to you.  Please save your children.

Blessed are you O Lord our God the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob who drives evil away so the righteous can live in peace.

Amen!
