-Devotion and Prayer for the Day: Psalm 91

Join us in today’s prayer and devotion-

Read Psalm 91 and then join us in prayer:

Our Father,

Thank you O Lord for the promises you have given to your servants: those of us who are called after the name of your Son Jesus.

You have promised that whoever dwells in your shelter and shadow will be delivered from the snare of the fowler and from deadly pestilence; that you will cover them under your wings and they will find refuge. We claim those promises.

You have also said that you would protect us from the terrors of the night, and the arrows that fly by day but none will come near us; that a thousand may fall at our sides and ten thousand at our right hands. Because we have made the Lord our dwelling place— you have said that you will command your angels concerning us to guard us. Praise your name.

We pray for the light to shine in the darkness; for every motive and skeleton to be revealed. We ask that the ‘Sauls’ who oppose your people and church be turned into Pauls. We ask that Christians rise up under the banner of Jesus and take to the streets for your Kingdom and claim our cities, neighborhoods, and families for your Son Jesus.

We come against fear and sickness in our land; against the voices of hate, violence, subversion and deception. We pray for revival instead of destruction and peace instead of chaos, healing instead of sickness, justice, real justice that comes only through your Holy Spirit instead of force, freedom instead of tyranny.

Let those under the direction of false philosophies, evil political systems, and religions  be released from the binding of the evil one and find the truth in your Son Jesus and the Good News of your eternal kingdom. Let your light shine in the darkness; let the truth prevail.

Let your kingdom go forth in the midst of the battle and let your Word and Gospel be preached in every nation and tongue including among those who are persecuting and killing Christians. Bind up the prince over Islam and the spirit of the anti-Christ; let tens of millions be converted and become part of your kingdom before that great day when your Son comes again. Let your spirit be released upon all peoples, nations, and tongues in Jesus name.

In Jesus name, Amen.
