A Small Morning Family Prayer

Gracious Heavenly Father, thank You for this blessed morning.
Lord, on this 74th Republic day of our 🇮🇳nation, we commend our President, Prime Minister, Central and State ministers, our judiciary, military forces and all other authority involved in governing our nation.
Lord, grant them the grace, wisdom and strength to serve the country truthfully and uphold the sovereignty of our nation.
Lord, place a hedge around our nation and protect us from all kinds of threats posed by terrorists, religious fanatics and other anti social elements.
Lord, thank You for sending Your gospel to our nation. Thank You for choosing us to be Your people, and as a chosen race.
Lord, may we have the burden in our hearts to pray for our fellow citizens and courageously proclaim the gospel, and show them the path to redemption.
Lord, help us to live a witnessing life by displaying our Christian faith and love so that our neighbours may also taste and see that the Lord our God Almighty is good.
In Jesus’ name we pray, Amen.

Today's promise:
But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people  for His own possession, that you may proclaim the excellencies of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light.
1 Peter 2:9
