Lord, you poured out blessings on your land! You restored the fortunes of Israel. You forgave the guilt of your people – yes, you covered all their sins. You held back your fury. You kept back your blazing anger. Psalm 85: 1-3 NLT

Today is National Day of Prayer day. Please take some time today to prayer for our leaders and for a renewed blessing on our land. Remember all the good things that God has done for this country and how God has covered our sins and forgiven our guilt.

Here is a list of our national leaders to be lifted up in prayer:

President Barak Obama

Vice-President Joe Biden

House Speaker John Boehner and the House of Representatives

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell

And all Senators

Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr and Associate Justices of the Supreme Court

Remember your state's governor, Lieutenant Governor, State Supreme Justice and Associates, local mayors, city councils and county representatives.

Lord, you poured out blessings on your land! You restored the fortunes of our country. You forgave the guilt of your people – yes, you covered all their sins. You held back your fury. You kept back your blazing anger. Continue to bless us, Lord and continue to forgive our sins. Be with our leaders – national, state and local. Help us to be your people at all times. In Jesus' name. Amen.
