Prayer for Unity and Healing

 Prayer for Unity and Healing

Father God, we thank You for the ministry of Pastors James and Sharon Ward and for the tremendous work they are doing to bring about change and healing in Kenosha. We thank You, too, for the tens of thousands of other pastors who, even now, have picked up this mantle and are bringing the presence of Christ into these riot-torn cities. We thank you for those pastors who are leading their congregations in prayer for the healing of the soul of our nation; for those pastors and people who are praying for a Third Great Awakening in this land.

Lord God, we praise You for raising up many, many others who, even now, are "invading our cities" with "worship warfare" -- opening those gates and welcoming You to dwell across the land, for the solution to the trauma and hatred that are emerging from senseless shootings cannot be squelched by politicians but only by pastors and people of prayer.

Lord, let this be the beginning of revival. Hallelujah, in Your Magnificent Name we pray, amen and amen.

"1 The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me,

Because the Lord has anointed me

To bring good news to the afflicted;

3 To grant those who mourn in Zion,

Giving them a garland instead of ashes,

The oil of gladness instead of mourning,

The mantle of praise instead of a spirit of fainting.

So they will be called oaks of righteousness,

The planting of the Lord, that He may be glorified.

4 Then they will rebuild the ancient ruins,

They will raise up the former devastations;

And they will repair the ruined cities,

The desolations of many generations." (Isaiah 61:1,3,4)
