I always enjoy flying over nations. Today we are flying over the USA, England and Norway. Here are the prayers and blessings from the book of Psalms that I am praying over these nations today. Join in and ask for the nations - ask God to put a nation on your heart today and pray these 7 prayers over that nation:
* Ask for the nations to come to God - Psalm 2:8 Ask of Me, and I will give You the nations for Your inheritance, And the ends of the earth for Your possession. (NKJV)
Here it is in the Message:
What do you want? Name it: Nations as a present? continents as a prize? You can command them all to dance for you, Or throw them out with tomorrow's trash."
* Ask for the nations to remember their foundations and return to the Lord, that families would turn to God and worship Him - Psalm 22:2728 All the ends of the world shall remember and turn to the LORD, And all the families of the nations Shall worship before You.
For the kingdom is the LORD’s, and He rules over the nations.
...and in the Message - verses 27-31
From the four corners of the earth people are coming to their senses, are running back to God.
Long-lost families are falling on their faces before him.
God has taken charge; from now on he has the last word.
All the power-mongers are before him
—worshiping!
All the poor and powerless, too
—worshiping!
Along with those who never got it together
—worshiping!
Our children and their children will get in on this as the word is passed along from parent to child. Babies not yet conceived will hear the good news—that God does what he says.
* Ask that the Lord would give us authority to bring God's blessings and grace to the nations - Psalm 47:3, 8 He will subdue the peoples under us, and the nations under our feet.
God reigns over the nations; God sits on His holy throne.
* Ask God to give you a song to sing over all the nations today - Psalm 57:9 (psalm 108:3) I will praise You, O Lord, among the peoples;I will sing to You among the nations.
The message - verses 9-10
I'm thanking you, God, out loud in the streets, singing your praises in town and country.
The deeper your love, the higher it goes; every cloud is a flag to your faithfulness.
* Ask God that His justice and ways will permeate the whole earth, and that all the nations will sing and praise Him - Psalm 67:2 (Psalm 98:2) That Your way may be known on earth,Your salvation among all nations.
The Message version of this whole Psalm:
God, mark us with grace and blessing! Smile! The whole country will see how you work,
all the godless nations see how you save.
God! Let people thank and enjoy you. Let all people thank and enjoy you.
Let all far-flung people become happy and shout their happiness because
You judge them fair and square, you tend the far-flung peoples.
God! Let people thank and enjoy you. Let all people thank and enjoy you.
Earth, display your exuberance! You mark us with blessing, O God, our God.
You mark us with blessing, O God. Earth's four corners—honor him!
* Ask God to draw all kings and queens to Him - that the leaders of all nations will worship Him, and their people will follow - Psalm 72:11 Yes, all kings shall fall down before Him; All nations shall serve Him.
(Also Psalm 86:9)
* Ask God to use you to release His glory into the nations - Psalm 96:3
Declare His glory among the nations, His wonders among all peoples.
