PRAYER FOR AMERICA — PEACE, BE STILL

Psalm 55:8-9; I would hurry to my place of shelter, far from the tempest and storm. Lord, confuse the wicked, confound their words, for I see violence and strife in the city.

Isaiah 54:17; But in that coming day no weapon turned against you will succeed. You will silence every voice raised up to accuse you. These benefits are enjoyed by the servants of the LORD; their vindication will come from me. I, the LORD, have spoken!

Psalm 107:28-30; Then they cried out to the LORD in their trouble, and he brought them out of their distress. He stilled the storm to a whisper; the waves of the sea were hushed. They were glad when it grew calm, and he guided them to their desired haven.

Lord, You have said that 'He who troubles his own house shall inherit the wind...' (Proverbs 11:29) Forgive us all, and have mercy on us, for the house of America has been troubled, and we are now experiencing the tempest. Lord, may America's eyes be opened, to see our need and to quickly turn from our ways, and find shelter from the stormy wind and tempest.

May America cry out to You, God. Grant us the gift of repentance. Show us and teach us how to pray against this alliance of demonic spirits and principalities that have aligned to destroy this nation.

We choose You, O Breath of God. Wind of God, blow on us. We come in humility, not pointing the finger, but in agreement with Your Word. We cry to You, Lord, in our trouble, that You would bring us out of our distresses.

Father, we turn to you and ask that You remove the false balances and unrighteous dealings in America. We ask that You remove our shame, our sin, our lack. Lord, we repent of our use of weights and measures that are not from You. We ask You to replace them with honesty and integrity. Forgive us, Father, of our unrighteous judgments, a pharisaical spirit, use of faulty weights and balances; all which have skewed righteous judgment in the land. Wash us, cleanse us, lift us out of our desperate condition and turn our mourning into dancing.

We say to the demonic winds, the rebellious winds, those winds that would dare to oppose —your purposes for this nation, attempting to destroy the very foundations of our liberty...BE STILL...and KNOW that JESUS CHRIST IS LORD! You veiled winds of anarchy, lawlessness, anti-Christ, communism, hate, violence, and anti-Semitism; we declare that NO WEAPON formed against the United States of America, or its people shall prosper...and every tongue which rises up in judgment...THE LORD shall condemn. We ask and now believe that You, Lord, will hush the storm to a calm and gentle whisper so that the waves of the sea are still. And we shall be glad because of the calm that You, O Lord, will have brought; to us, to our desired haven.

May the unseen evil power structures that have held us in their grip be dissipated, and may true JUSTICE take its seat over the land. Wherever these strongholds exist, I ask You to remove them by Your Spirit.

We declare that the scepter of the wicked SHALL NOT REMAIN on the land allotted to the righteous; not in our elected officials, not in the Supreme Court, not in the media, and not in the unseen pockets of corruption, and not in us. We stand in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, Amen!
