Awe-inspiring God,
You are great and glorious in power, mighty in miracles. Your enemies tremble and they surrender and bow down before you. All the earth - all of this nation - all of this state - all of this county - all of this township - bow down to worship you, to sing your glories forever! You multiply miracles for your people. Today we ask you to multiply miracles for this state. We come to you in humility asking you to heal this state from the demonic spirits of oppression and fear that have been upon her. Heal the small businesses in this state that have been devastated by the lockdowns. Heal the people that have been deeply impacted by Covid-19. Heal the families that have been severely beaten down by the governmental regulations that have led to increases in business failures, poor educational outcomes, increase in addictions, decrease in medical, dental and mental health treatments, and a general feeling of despair. In the name of Jesus we bind the spirits of despair and fear and send them far away from this state. God, many who work in state government - especially staff in legislators' offices - are enduring horrendous frustration, anger, and even verbal abuse from constituents. We pray today that you would break the spirit of anger in this state. Instead, replace it with a spirit of peace, goodwill, gentleness, patience and kindness, especially as citizens interact with each other. We pray that the staff and the legislators they work for would be guided with wisdom and grace and that their families and businesses will be untouched by the disruption of politics. In this current season as they work toward a state budget for next year, we pray that their funding decisions would be based on your wisdom and discernment. Give them guidance to make choices that are financially sound and reflect your godly ideals and policies. Give them ears to hear each other, patience to negotiate a good, equitable, and financially responsible budget, and may no ideological bickering or blockages derail the process. We are your jars of clay interceding for this state. She is afflicted, perplexed, persecuted, struck down, but you are the God of Hope, Healing, Restoration, and Miracles. Pour out your love and grace here today, we pray in Jesus's name. Amen.
For he’s the awe-inspiring God, great and glorious in power!
We’ve never seen anything like him!
Mighty in miracles, you cause your enemies to tremble.
No wonder they all surrender and bow before you!

"But we have this treasure in jars of clay, to show that the surpassing power belongs to God and not to us. We are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not driven to despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed; always carrying in the body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be manifested in our bodies. " (2 Corinthians 4:7-10 ESV)
