Merciful Father.
We cast our eyes upon you. We must remember to focus on you. Distraction and devastation are the words of the day. These events going on around us seem unending and overwhelming. Our hearts ache for this nation. Rise up! Oh Mighty One. Rise up over America and shine your light on us, in us and through us.
In the mighty name of Jesus. We declare strength, wisdom and clarity over our leaders. From the President down the line to city council members. Divine wisdom from above. Let truth prevail! Send out doubt and fear. Rise up a mighty army in our federal, state and local governments. In businesses. In school systems. In the church. In homes. Righteousness rise up! Truth rise up! Integrity and morality rise up! Clarity rise up! Let faith arise and fear be defeated!
We declare the Word of the Lord! We declare your truth. Your Word will stand. We declare your will and your way. They are flawless. We declare your light to shine. It cannot be put out! Oh no! The darkness must flee when the light comes on. We shine the light of Your Word and pierce the powers of darkness ruling in the high places. We place all our hope and trust in you. Oh! Rock of the Ages!
Our hearts would fail within us if not for your Word. Your Word declares hope and help to us! We have heard all about you, Lord. We are filled with awe by your amazing works. In this time of our deep need, help us again as you did in years gone by. And in your anger, remember your mercy. Let mercy flow from your throne room. Selah!
We see God moving across the deserts from Edom, the Holy One coming from Mount Paran. His brilliant splendor fills the heavens, and the earth is filled with his praise. His coming is as brilliant as the sunrise. Rays of light flash from his hands, where his awesome power is hidden. Pestilence marches before him and plague follows close behind. Come! Oh Brilliant One! Come to us!
When he stops, the earth shakes. When he looks, the nations tremble. He shatters the everlasting mountains and levels the eternal hills. Yes! Shatter the mountains of the enemy! Shatter them. Shatter them! Shatter them! You alone are the Eternal One! Sending chariots of salvation to our rescue. You will not leave us alone. You will not forsake those who love you. Your unending goodness and mercy will chase us down.
Brandishing your bow and arrows. Marching in anger over our enemies. Trampling our enemies in fury. You came to rescue your chosen people and save your anointed ones! You came! We knew that you would come. You will crush crush crush the wicked. You will destroy the chief ones who bring whirlwinds of destruction. Yes! Destroy them from the top to the bottom and everywhere in between. Ho! We are not easy prey with the Lord Most High on our side!
The Almighty One. He alone is our help and our hope. He alone is the repairer of the breach. He alone will consume our enemies. He alone will receive all the glory, honor and praise. He alone endures forever. We fill the earth with your praise!
In Jesus name. Amen.
