2 Corinthians 4; Romans 12; Ephesians 2; 1 Peter 5

I do not look at the things that are seen in this life, but at the things that are unseen. For the things that are seen are temporary, but the unseen things are eternal.

Therefore, I do not lose heart, even though outwardly, I am perishing, because I know, inwardly, you are renewing me day by day. You, Father, through your Holy Spirit, are renewing my mind and transforming me every moment of every day.

The prince of the power of the air has deceived many in our country, and they walk in sin and foolishness according to the course of this world. They are truly sons of disobedience.

I was once among them, but you, Father, in your mercy and love, even while I was dead in trespasses, made me alive together with Christ.

So I do not lose hope. I humble myself under your mighty hand, Father, and I pray for my country. I cast these cares on you for I know you care for me and for all who are yours.

Revive us and revive this country. Perfect, establish, strengthen, and settle our country into one nation under you as Almighty God.
