nation, from a representative from each of our fifty states. The event began on May 15th and
will end July 4th.
One Prayer From Each State For Our Nation For Fifty Days: Day 15
Mark Vance, Pastor
of Cornerstone Church in Ames, Iowa:
"My name is Mark
Vance. I’m lead pastor at Cornerstone Church in Ames, Iowa. Let’s pray
together.
Father in Heaven,
we acknowledge You as holy. Your name be honored as holy. Your kingdom come and
Your will be done, God, on Earth the way that it is in Heaven. Thank You for
providing for us our daily bread. You’re the giver of every good gift. Forgive us,
God, the way that we would forgive those who’d sin against us, and don’t lead
us into temptation. Lord, deliver us from the evil one. It’s Your kingdom. It’s
Your glory. It’s Your power that matter most of all.
And we need You,
Father, to send Your kingdom here on Earth. Father, we look to You and we pray
that Your kingdom would come, Your will would be done here in our country, in
America. Right now, God, we just look around and we see a culture that has been
just so overtaken by worldliness and secularism.
Father, we need a
fresh movement of Your Spirit. And so we’re asking You for that. From around
this nation, God, we’re crying out that You would send Your Spirit to bring a
great revival. A third great awakening, God, is what I’ve been praying for,
that I could see it in my lifetime, that You would bring it, God. It’s Your
power alone that can do this. And so we’re asking for it.
And in a
particular way, God, my heart is just drawn to pray for the next generation, to
pray for university students all across this country. I’m a dad with a kid
going to college at a major university next year. And so, Lord, I just pray
that the openness we’re beginning to see stir among young people all around
America would continue. God, that for a generation that has seen the false lies
of secularism, they would find the truth of Jesus Christ, and that their hearts
would be drawn to know Him and to love Him and to worship Him.
So, Father, send
Your Spirit, bring a great revival, and bring it especially among this next
generation of college students around our country.
Lord, we ask it in
the strong Name of Jesus Christ our Savior. Amen."
