Praying Psalms for America, Volume 1 and Volume 2
This book of prayers comes from the prompting of the Holy Spirit to pray the Psalms for America. Daily praying and journaling in my morning time with God is a longstanding habit. Praying day by day for America was not a daily habit, nor was praying Psalms. It is an unusual prompting.
The first prompting by the Holy Spirit to pray Psalms for America came in July 2016 when the presidential candidates were chosen. This practice provided me with peace and understanding, while sharpening my discernment for truth. The second prompting came in December 2019, leading to the second round of praying and journaling prayers for America inspired by each Psalm. My friend Rhonda Knight Boyle agreed to setup a Facebook group and to post a prayer with a picture each day, with the goal to draw a multitude of people praying for America.
These prayers are now published in Praying Psalms for America, Volume 1, a best seller, thanks to the Lord. Continual promptings and prayers led to this second Volume. These two volumes differ in three notable ways. First, each set of prayers are inspired by two versions of the Bible that are distinct in style and voice, which allows the Holy Spirit to provide new inspirations through variant turns of phrase and imagery.
Secondly, major events impacting life in America were different. Volume 1 was written from December 2019 through April 2020, marked by the presidential impeachment, the global pandemic, and the economic lockdowns worldwide, shuttering churches, businesses, schools, and life at large. Volume 2 covers May to October 2020, with extended riots, continued lockdowns, limited schooling, business bankruptcies, increasing hardships for children, declining mental health, growing death toll, and the contentious campaign period for the 2020 elections.
Thirdly, when you step into the scriptures each day and welcome the Holy Spirit to enlighten you with the truth, the Spirit reveals what you need to know and understand in that moment. With changing events in America, and the insights revealed, the resulting prayers are unique.
It seems obvious now why God prompted these prayers for America preceding the events that occurred. People of America have a deep need of prayer. We need to hear God’s voice to provide hope and healing to a world that seems to be spinning off its axis and turning all that is good from our Father’s hand into something that is bad.
Pray for America
Engage these prayers with a multitude of others to pray for America, one prayer per day. This practice will walk you into the heart of God, give you hope for today and tomorrow, and reveal how to live your life fully trusting God, while covering America in prayer. Jesus urges us “to keep praying and never grow discouraged,” saying, “won’t God bring justice for His chosen people when they cry to Him day and night?” Luke 18:1,7
These prayers will bring you closer to God and guard your heart, mind, and soul, so that you may release any worry you have for America and for yourself to God for His radical saving grace.
The Holy Spirit inspired these prayers, and all the glory is due to our God of Truth for the words He inspires to put our cause before Him. He hears and responds to our fervent prayers.
In His Service,
Cynthia
