Heavenly Father, we come before You in Jesus' strong name and we pray the words of the old hymn: God bless our native land; firm may she ever stand thro' storm and night! When the wild tempests rave, Ruler of wind and wave, do thou our country save by thy great might. Lord, we pray salvation over this land, a return to godliness, a repentant and godly spirit and a desire to love as we have been first love by You. We pray for wisdom for our nation's leaders, and we pray that the hearts of many would turn back to You. We ask this in the power of Your Holy Spirit and pray this in Jesus' strong name. Amen.
