Prayer for our State government in Olympia

“I will make my dwelling among them
and walk among them,
and I will be their God, and they shall be my people”
(2 Corinthians 6:16)

Dear saints,

If you would like to join a concerted prayer effort for our state government this session, or support those who are prayer-walking the State Capitol, please pray with me...

"Father in heaven, strengthen Margaret B. as she coordinates Your servants in prayer for our State government. Grant us all great peace and joy, to be a light wherever we walk. Grant us wisdom and discernment and boldness in prayer, to know Your heart and to proclaim Your purposes over our State government. Grant us protection from every hateful scheme of the enemy. Grant us favor with those we encounter by divine appointment and give us the words to say, taught by Your Spirit ...

"Lord of Angel Armies, move our gov't leaders by Your hand, to position our State for the greatest opportunity for the gospel. Lord, Your ways are higher than ours and we can't predict which is the best outcome as You unfold the destinies of nations. We are not building an earthly kingdom, yet we pray for righteousness to reign in our cities and over our state. We pray that Your Church would be holy, united, beautiful in Your eyes. Remove the obstacles to righteousness, by Your great power. Search us, that we would remove any stumbling blocks in ourselves. We pray that lost souls would see Your light and come to You ...

"Lord Jesus, we rejoice that where sin abounds, grace does MUCH MORE abound. Let Your life in us govern our emotions and our thoughts and our words, so that those who are tangled in sin can find reconciliation, not condemnation. Keep us from arguments, but grant us wisdom to teach and patience when wronged. Grant those who oppose themselves to repent. If life gets harder, Your strength is made perfect in our weakness. Oh, Lord, keep us awake, keep us focused on Your Kingdom, keep us joyful in Your Spirit, for Your name's sake.

Blessings of peace and joy to you in Jesus' Name,
--
