One Prayer From Each State For Our Nation For Fifty Days: Day 18
 
 
Dennis Watson, Pastor of Celebration Church in Metairie, Louisiana:
 
 
 
“Hello, my name is Dennis Watson. I’m a pastor from the great state of Louisiana. Today it’s my privilege to lead us in praying for revival and spiritual awakening to come to our nation. So please join me as we pray.
 
Our Heavenly Father, we come to You today on behalf of the United States of America, praying for revival and spiritual awakening to come to our nation.
 
We thank You for how You’ve blessed our nation in times past. But today, we’re praying for a new move of God to sweep across our nation, transforming people’s lives and people’s circumstances and people’s relationships, and bringing transformation to the moral and spiritual climates or cultures in the communities and cities throughout our nation.
 
Lord, although we have been incredibly blessed as a nation, we know that we are surrounded by a sea of broken hearts, broken lives, and broken relationships. People’s hearts have been broken because of the losses and tragedies they’ve experienced. People’s lives have been broken because of the tragic choices they or others have made, and people’s relationships have been broken because of disagreements and disasters in their lives. But today we come to You, O God, on behalf of all these people. We ask You to bring help and hope and healing to people’s hearts and lives and relationships.
 
You are the God who saves. You are the God who helps. You’re the God who heals and delivers people from the struggles and from the strongholds of their lives. Lord, we pray for churches across our nation, that they would rise up to be the community transformation ministries that You have called them to be. Empower them to not only minister to the people in their church family, but to also be bearers of compassion and help and hope to the people around them in their communities.
 
And Lord, in Your Word, You have said, ‘If My people who are called by My name will humble themselves and pray and seek My face and turn from their evil ways, I will hear from Heaven, forgive their sin, and heal their land.’ Lord, we desperately need healing in our land, and we believe that You’re the only one who can make that happen.”
