The following is a prayer for our nation by Pastor Lynne Hammond:
Father, in the name of Jesus, and according to your Word, we pray for those in authority in our nation. We lift up President Donald Trump, his family, his staff, and cabinet members. Let Your Word cling to them and let them not depart from your plan. Strengthen them with mighty power by Your Spirit to stand against wickedness, lies, and deception. Guide President Trump’s decisions; let Your light shine upon his path and show him the path of reversal for every evil way. Continually surround him with godly men and women who impart wise counsel to him. Cause the way of the wicked to be set to confusion and come to nothing. Deliver us from the traps and snares the enemy has laid for us, and let the wicked be caught in their own devises and be brought to shame.
We take authority over the plots and plans of the enemy against this nation. Let prideful and lying lips be silenced in Jesus’ name. Slanderers will not be established in America. We pray for our Congress, our Supreme Court, our Military leaders, and our intelligence agencies. Let the wisdom that is from above reign in this nation and be constantly speaking to our leaders. We exercise the authority You have given us to tread down all the power of the enemy. We cast down and demolish imaginations and arguments that exalt themselves against the knowledge of God, and we bring into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ. We bind spirits of strife and division, civil wars and tumults, spirits of hostility, lawlessness and blasphemy, and fires from hell that have burned in our cities.
We speak grace and peace over America. We pray and believe for the voice of truth, salvation, revival, and restoration to be proclaimed and heard across our land. Grant unto your servants everywhere that with all boldness we may speak Your Word. We pray for a mighty outpouring of Your Spirit with signs, wonders, and miracles. We expect the wisdom of this world that is earthly, sensual, and devilish to depart and vanish until Your mighty work in America becomes a beacon of hope for all people everywhere. We expect the voice of rejoicing to be heard in our nation for your goodness, mercy, and prosperity, in Jesus’ name, Amen.

The following excerpt is taken from A Blaze for God by Wesley L. Duewel:
Your Love for the Church
It is part of Christ’s eternal plan that He have a beloved body of people called out of the world, redeemed by His blood, and specially committed in love to him. Jesus said, “I will build my church” (Matt. 16:18). He is “head over everything for the church” (Eph. 1:22). “He is the head of the body, the church” (Col. 1:18). He wants God’s wisdom to be proved to the angel world by the church (Eph. 3:10).
“Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her to make her holy, cleansing her by the washing with water through the word, and to present her to himself as a radiant church, without stain or wrinkle or any other blemish, but holy and blameless” (Eph. 5:25–27).
Christ loved the church and chose the church to be His eternal bride (Rev. 21:1–3). Christ wants to be spiritually well-fed, spiritually secure, spiritually radiant, and spiritually adorned as His beloved, beautiful, lovely bride.
YOU ARE CALLED TO LOVE THE CHURCH
Christ has chosen you to care for His church or a group within it on His behalf. He wants you to love the church with His love. As a Christian leader, you are responsible to care for it for Him. He wants to fill you with His ardent love for it.
There is only one way you adequately can be a shepherd leader of the church or a group of God’s people, caring lovingly for them until Christ comes Himself to get her for His very own. You must love the church with Christ’s own special love provided by the Holy Spirit.
It is not enough for you to love the believers as fellow human beings, as your friends, or even to love them as fellow-believers. You must love them with Christ’s own love given by the Spirit. Christ calls you to love for Him, to be His love-gift to the church. He has sent the Holy Spirit to give you the love you need. You are appointed to be His channel of love. Paul is probably the greatest example of Christ loving the church through us. His letters reveal the intensity, commitment, and sacrificial fullness of his love.
HOW TO LOVE THE CHURCH
Thank God for the church. It is Christ’s great treasure, His precious, beloved bride. It is His constant joy. He eagerly waits for the time when His bride will be complete and He can come to receive her to Himself (Eph. 5:25–26). As Christ thanks God for the church, so should we. Here, again, Paul is an outstanding example.
“I always thank God for you” (1 Cor. 1:4). “Ever since I heard…I have not stopped giving thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers” (Eph. 1:15–16). “I thank my God every time I remember you. In all my prayers for all of you, I always pray with joy” (Phil. 1:3-4). “We always thank God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, when we pray for you” (Col. 1:3). “We always thank God for all of you mentioning you in our prayers. We continually remember before our God and Father…” (1 Thess. 1:2–3). Are you constantly thanking God for your church? Thanking God over and over increases your love.
