His Heart, My Home

Father, in the name of Jesus, we thank you for this great nation—the United States of America. We thank you that it was founded on your Word, and faith in our Lord and Savior, Jesus, the Christ. We thank you that this nation is blessed because of this foundation, and we desire to continue to live under a banner of blessing through our obedience to you.

Father, we know our strength as believers lies in our unity because your Word says a house divided against itself cannot stand. So, today, in the name of Jesus, we come against the spirit of division and strife in our nation, and in the Body of Christ. We cast down every attempt by the enemy to divide us into separate groups. We refuse to accept the worldview that we must be a part of groups that are based on race, gender, class or any other such group. We are Christians. We are Americans. That is where we stand—that is where we find our identity—in you, and only in you.

We bind the enemy’s attempts to divide us from other believers, and we declare today that we will stand in the unity of faith with our brothers and sisters in Christ. If we have a difference of political opinion, we will humble ourselves and compare our views to the Word of God to make our final decision.

Lord, help us to resist the influences of friends, family, or media that may try to move us away from the Word of God. Help us to fill our hearts and minds with the truth of your Word and stand on it—immovable, unshakable, and firm in our faith.

Father, breathe a fresh wind of unity over our nation. Let your Holy Spirit dominate every area of our government, our churches, our schools, and our homes. Help us, as believers, to walk in love and unity together, so that all may see that we are one and know the power of the one true, living God.

We praise you and thank you for it, in Jesus’ name. Amen!
