Lord Pour Out Your Love, Life, And Liberty
Lord, we look up and see the billions of stars You created, and we praise You. We look around and see the billions of people You created in Your image; uniquely, fearfully, wonderfully, and we thank You. Wrap us in Your Spirit and unite us in Your family, Lord. Thank You for loving us first, In your love for the whole world. You sent Your Son to save us.
Jesus, in You alone we have abundant and everlasting life. Thank You for teaching and leading us to love and live, fruitful, and faithful. In Your life, death, resurrection, and ascension You are our Lord, our love, our life and our liberty. You came to "bind up the broken, to proclaim liberty to captives and freedom to prisoners" Isaiah 61:1 You have freed us from the penalty and shame of our sin; free to live life as You designed and Your destiny for our Nation.
Spirit search us, convict us, as we repent for our sin and the sins of America. Please cleanse, fill, and send us. We rejoice, knowing that Your forgiveness makes us acceptable and effective vessels for Your love, life and liberty in our family, church, education, workplace, military, government, art, entertainment, and media.
We pray that America will be united in love to serve You with all our hearts, all our ways, and all of our days. Unite us to pray, love; to live and walk by the Spirit. Conform and transform us as we pray and proclaim, “Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.” We pray this is the name of Jesus, Amen
FAMILY
SPIRIT OF THE LORD WE PRAY TO YOU…prompt every family to bow
before the Father, from whom every family in heaven and on earth derives its name; granting them, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with power through His Spirit, rooted and grounded in love, and be filled up to all the fullness of God. Ephesians 3:19-21
SPIRIT OF THE LORD WE PRAY TO YOU…fill our family; drawing us closer to You and one another. Make our families Your instruments of love, life and liberty in the communities where You have established us. Acts 17:24-28

…rest on families and all children would hear affirmation and affection from their parents, as the Lord spoke over His Son, "You are My beloved Son, in You I am well-pleased. Luke 3:21-22
CHURCH
WE PRAY THE SPIRIT WOULD FILL US…so we would hear Your voice and be diligent to preserve the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace knowing there is one body and one Spirit, just as we are called in one hope of our calling; one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God and Father of all who is over all and through all and in all. Ephesians 4:1-6
WE PRAY THE SPIRIT WOULD FILL US...uniting us in love, bringing churches together to spread the gospel and so justice bringing love, life and liberty throughout their communities. Galatians 6:10
WE PRAY THE SPIRIT WOULD FILL US... so we would sing and serve skillfully with shouts of joy, work and worship in accordance to His Word, will and way. Psalm 33:1-5
