One Prayer From Each State For Our Nation For Fifty Days: Day 11
 
 
 
Alan Bartolome, Pastor of Bethel Chapel Assembly of God in Waipahu, Hawaii
 
 
 
 
“Aloha, friends. My name is Alan Bartolome, from the beautiful state of Hawaii, also known as the Aloha State.
 
E pule kako. Let us pray together. Mahalo, Ke Akua, which means, thank You, our Heavenly Father. Dear God, for You are awesome, and great is Your power and might. Thank You for Your amazing love towards us.
 
We stand in thanksgiving and in gratitude as we celebrate our 250th year as a nation here in 2026.
 
Dear Lord, we lift up our children to You. In Hawaii we say, “keiki,” and we ask that they would be able to grow and have a childhood without any agenda, as seeks to confuse their identity. Keep them safe from bullying and from violence, of which there should be no place in our homes, in our schools, and in our neighborhoods.
 
Great Heavenly Father, please empower us, Your church, to be guardians of the next generation. To crush down the schemes of the evil one that seeks to kill, steal, and to destroy young lives. Raise up a healthy, God-loving and God-fearing generation that will usher in a change for righteousness and justice. And let love and grace be our guide.
 
Dear Jesus, we appeal towards Heaven that Your hand of providence, blessing, and guidance would always be upon us, and all praise and all glory and all honor is Yours and Yours alone, dear Jesus. God, we dedicate our hearts, our homes, our keiki—our children—and our nation to you.
 
And we do this in the Name of the Father, of the Son, and Holy Spirit.
 
In Jesus’ precious, mighty Name we pray. Amen, amen, and amene. Iesu pu, God bless.”
