Day 5 - 31 Days of Prayer, The Law

 Day 5

The Law

…I will set up and conclude with them after those days, says the Lord: I will imprint My laws upon their hearts, and I will inscribe them on their minds (on their inmost thoughts and understanding)… Hebrews 10:16 (Amplified)

Heavenly Father, in Jesus' Name, please awaken and lead our people and our leaders to a reverent understanding and adherence to Your laws.  We thank You for our elected officials and ask the God of our Master, Jesus Christ, the God of glory, as Paul asked in Ephesians 1:17-23, that He may grant them a spirit of wisdom and revelation [of insight into mysteries and secrets] in the [deep and intimate] knowledge of Him, by having the eyes of their heart flooded with light, so that they can know and understand the hope to which He has called them, and how rich is His glorious inheritance in them (the Church). 

We pray that they can know and understand what is the immeasurable, unlimited and surpassing greatness of His power in and for all who believe, as demonstrated in the working of His mighty strength, which He exerted in Christ when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly places, far above all rule, authority, power, and dominion, above and every title that can be conferred, not only in this age but also in the age which is to come. 

And He has put all things under His  (Jesus’) feet and has appointed Him the universal and supreme Head of the church [a headship exercised throughout the church], which is His body, the fullness of Him Who makes everything complete, and fills everything everywhere with Himself.

We declare that there is great peace in this nation because we hate evil and love God’s law.  So be it.
