Pray Earnestly for National Mercies and the Blessing of the Gospel Ministry in your Nation

Intercession 5.9 | KJV

I must pray earnestly for national mercies.

For the favours of God to my nation and the tokens of his presence among us, as that in which our happiness is bound up.

O the hope of Israel, the Saviour thereof in time of trouble, be not thou a stranger in my land or a wayfaring man that turns aside to tarry but for a night; but be thou always in the midst of your people: We are called by thy name, O leave us not. Though our iniquities testify against us, yet do thou it for thy name’s sake; though our backslidings are many, and we have sinned against thee. Jeremiah 14:7-9(KJV)

Turn us to thee, O Lord God of hosts, and then cause thy face to shine, and we shall be saved. O stir up thy strength and come and save us. Psalm 80:2-3(KJV)

Show us thy mercy, O Lord, and grant us thy salvation; Psalm 85:7(KJV) yea, let that salvation be nigh them that fear thee, that glory may dwell in our land. Let mercy and truth meet together, righteousness and peace kiss each other: Let truth spring out of the earth and righteousness look down from heaven; yea, let the Lord give that which is good: Let righteousness go before him and set us in the way of his steps. Psalm 85:9-13(KJV)

For the continuance of the gospel among us and the means of grace, and a national profession of Christ’s holy religion.

O let the throne of Christ endure for ever among us, Psalm 45:6(KJV) even the place of thy sanctuary, that glorious high throne from the beginning. Jeremiah 17:12(KJV)

Let our candlestick never be removed out of its place, though we have deserved it should, because we have left our first love. Revelation 2:4-5(KJV) Never do to us as thou didst to thy place which was in Shiloh, where thou didst set thy name at the first. Jeremiah 7:12(KJV)

Let us never know what a famine of the word means; nor ever be put to wander from sea to sea and from the river to the ends of the earth, to seek the word of God. Amos 8:11-12(KJV)

Let wisdom and knowledge be the stability of our times and strength of salvation, and let the fear of the Lord be our treasure: Isaiah 33:6(KJV) Let the righteous flourish among us, and let there be those that shall fear thee in our land, as long as the sun and moon endure, throughout all generations; Psalm 72:5(KJV) that there may be abundance of peace, Psalm 72:7(KJV) and the children which shall be created may praise the Lord. Psalm 102:18(KJV)

Pray for the Nations of the World and for your Own Nation

Intercession 5.8 | KJV

For the nations of Europe and the countries about me.

Thou, Lord, art the Governor among the nations: Psalm 22:28(KJV) Who shall not fear thee, O King of nations? Jeremiah 10:7(KJV) Thou sittest in the throne judging right; Psalm 9:4(KJV) judge the world therefore in righteousness, and minister judgment to the people in uprightness. Psalm 9:8(KJV)

Lord, hasten the time when thou wilt make wars to cease to the ends of the earth; Psalm 46:9(KJV) when nation shall no more lift up sword against nation, nor kingdom against kingdom, but swords shall be beaten into plough-shares, and spears into pruning-hooks, and they shall not learn war any more. Isaiah 2:4(KJV)

Make kings nursing fathers, and their queens nursing mothers, to the Israel of God. Isaiah 49:23(KJV)

And in the days of these kings, let the God of heaven set up a kingdom which shall never be destroyed, even the kingdom of the Redeemer. Daniel 2:44(KJV) And whatever counsels there are in men’s hearts, Lord, let thy counsels stand, Proverbs 19:21(KJV) and do thou fulfil the thoughts of thy heart unto all generations. Psalm 33:11(KJV)

For my own land and nation, the happy islands of Great Britain and Ireland, which I ought in a special manner to seek the welfare of, that in the peace thereof, your church in this land may have peace.

I must be thankful to God for his mercies to my land.

I bless thee that thou hast planted me in a very fruitful hill, Isaiah 5:1(KJV) and hast not made the wilderness my habitation or the barren land my dwelling, Job 39:6(KJV) but the land I inhabit yields her increase. Psalm 85:12(KJV)

Lord, thou hast dealt favourably with my land. Psalm 85:1(KJV) I have heard with my ears, and my fathers in the faith have told me, what work thou didst for your church in their days, and in the times of old; Psalm 44:1(KJV) and as I have heard, so have I seen, for I have thought of thy loving-kindness, O God, in the midst of thy temple. Psalm 48:8-9(KJV)

Thou hast given your church a pleasant land, Jeremiah 3:19(KJV) it is Immanuel’s land, Isaiah 8:8(KJV) it is a valley of vision; Isaiah 22:1(KJV) thou hast set up thy tabernacle among us, and thy sanctuary is in the midst of us. Ezekiel 37:26-27(KJV)

We dwell safely under our own vine and fig-tree, 1 Kings 4:25(KJV) and there is peace to him that goeth out and to him that comes in. 2 Chronicles 15:5(KJV)

And because the Lord loved my people, therefore he hath set a good government over us, to do judgment and justice; 1 Kings 10:9(KJV) to be a terror to evil-doers and a protection and praise to them that do well. Romans 13:3(KJV)

I must be humbled before God for my nation’s sins and provocations.

But my nation is a sinful people, a people laden with iniquity, a seed of evil-doers; Isaiah 1:4(KJV) and a great deal of reason we have to sigh and cry for the abominations that are committed among us. Ezekiel 9:4(KJV)

Iniquity abounds among us, and the love of many is waxen cold. Matthew 24:12(KJV)

We have not been forsaken nor forgotten of our God, though our land be full of sin against the Holy One of Israel. Jeremiah 51:5(KJV)
