Prayer for Family:

PART ONE

Lord, we repent for the times we have not been Godly role models to our children that You have entrusted to us. We repent for allowing unrighteousness to be seen and heard by our children. We repent for allowing evil influences, humanism, socialism, and marxism to gain strongholds in the lives of our children.

In Deuteronomy 6, parents are commanded to teach their children the Word of God. “These words which I command you today shall be in your heart. You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, when you walk by the way, when you lie down, and when you rise up.”

PART TWO

We proclaim that in the state of {your state}, parents will now stand in the truth of this WORD to protect their CHILDREN; that they will use their voices to oppose ungodly curriculum, obscene books, adoption of demonically-inspired sexual preference and transgender policies, and promotion of an anti-God worldview.

We declare the families of {your state} are strong, unified in Christ; that their house will be built upon the solid Rock; that no weapon forged against them would prevail as they take a stand for Truth. In Jesus' Name we pray, Amen.

Prayer for Education:

PART ONE

Lord, we confess that we, Your Church, were asleep on our watch and left the gates to our schools unguarded. We have abdicated our children’s education to ungodly teachers and school boards. Please forgive us!

We plead the blood of Jesus against every demonic agenda aimed at destroying the identity of our children and separating them from God. We commit to fervently pray, actively engage, and become informed about what is going on in our schools. We plead the blood of Jesus over every school, every teacher, and the teacher unions that have been used to kill, steal and destroy the hearts and minds of our children.

We ask You to shine Your light in every school. Drive out darkness, spiritual corruption, and hostility toward You and Your truth.

PART TWO

Protect the innocence and purity of our precious children and rescue them from the evil one who seeks to steal, kill, and destroy. Send transforming revival to our schools and pour out streams of Living Water into the hallways and classrooms. Save our children, and raise them up to lead the way for righteousness and justice in every mountain of cultural influence. May they, like King David, fulfill the purpose of God in their generation (Acts 13:36) In Jesus' Name, we pray, Amen. 

Prayer for Business:

PART ONE

Lord, forgive {your state} for all corruption in business. Forgive the Church for consuming pornography and supporting businesses that destroy the lives of children. We cry out for mercy! Wash us clean in Your blood! Collapse the demonic structures that hold the corruption together, in Jesus’ Name. 

Raise up new business leaders to walk in the Biblical understanding of money, wealth, and wisdom. Bless every business that is building the Kingdom of God. Raise up our youth with a Kingdom mindset to understand that making money, creating jobs, and serving others is spiritual activity.

PART TWO

We repent for withholding money and business ideas that You’ve given us. Forgive us for greed, laziness, and fear around business and money. We’re asking for Kingdom blueprints for innovative and creative ideas, products, and services that solve big problems for people.

It is You who gives us the power to gain wealth according to Deuteronomy 8:18, so we ask that You empower us to gain wealth with a purpose to build the Kingdom. We will be Kingdom funders! We declare that every sphere of business will reflect truth and integrity as young believers take their place and bring Godly influence to enterprise. In Jesus' Name we pray, Amen.

Prayer for Media:

PART ONE

Proverbs 12:17 says “He who speaks truth declares righteousness, but a false witness, deceit.” Lord, forgive the state of {your state} for the false media that we have allowed into our homes.

We declare that every false accusation and false report that seeks to deceive will be unmasked by truth and that the media will become the platform for truth.

We declare that all lies and deception in all forms of media will be exposed, and that those in the media will embrace Ephesians 4:25 by “putting away falsehood” and “speaking truth with our neighbors.”

PART TWO

We thank You, Lord, for the media outlets in {your state} that are declaring truth and righteousness. Give them increased courage, wisdom and insight to continue to be a shining light in this dark world.

We declare that God-fearing men and women will rise up and take their place in the media industry, and that it will be a Godly platform where truth would be declared.

In Jesus' Name we pray, Amen.

Prayer for Arts and Entertainment:

PART ONE

The families of the state of {your state} confess and repent that we have allowed the arts and entertainment industry to expose us to pornography, pedophilia, satanism, and Marxism that violates our innocence and darkens our minds. 

We declare, “Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil, Who put darkness for light and light for darkness” (Isaiah 5:20).

We proclaim that the truth will permeate all aspects of art and entertainment in the state of {your state}. We declare that those who use the arts and entertainment industry to seduce and violate our children and youth will be dismantled and defunded in the name of Jesus.

PART TWO

We declare that the entertainment industry will continue to see righteous and wholesome productions, music and events excel at the box office. We declare that our youth will not be deceived by any form of art or entertainment, but instead they will carry and execute the most creative and cutting edge productions, songs, albums, movies, short films, and written material with powerful messages that draw the world to a relationship with God. We declare that believers will rise up and take their place in the Arts and entertainment industry. In Jesus' Name we pray, Amen.

Prayer for Government:

PART ONE

Heavenly Father, we come before You today as a nation seeking Your guidance and forgiveness. We acknowledge our shortcomings and repent for our actions that have not honored You. We repent, as the Church, for being apathetic and negligent of our civic duties such as voting and using our First Amendment rights in civic affairs.

Lord, as you command us in 1 Timothy 2:1, we commit to pray for all those in authority. We bless our leaders and we pray You guide them with Your wisdom; may they govern with justice, integrity and in the fear of the Lord, always walking in Your ways.

PART TWO

We lift our voices in faith, declaring that You will be working through them for the good of all (Romans 13:1), especially on behalf of our children. Strengthen our leaders with the courage to make righteous decisions that reflect Your principles and bring honor and glory to Your name. No longer will they make man-made decisions, but instead they will make decisions that line up with Your Word according to the fear of the Lord.

We plead the blood of Jesus over every seat of government in {your state}. We command that all demonic attacks on families and children be thwarted. Finally, we call on believers to run for office, sit in office, and use our voices to transform culture for Your glory! In Jesus' Name we pray, Amen.

Prayer for Religion:

PART ONE

Father, we repent for the spirit of division, apathy, compromise, and complacency in the Church of {your state}.

Align us with Your Word and the ministry of Jesus, the finished work of the cross. We ask for a spirit of encouragement and boldness to stand firm in our faith at all times, making love our highest aim. Give us a burden for the lost with a readiness to share the good news!

We proclaim that the parents of {your state} will ‘train up our children in the way they should go so that when they are old they won’t depart from it” (Proverbs 22:6).

PART TWO

No weapon formed against the Church shall prosper. We pray for an unstoppable anointing that reaches far beyond the four walls. We thank You for the advancement, not the retreat, of God’s perfect plan to be established over every House.

We declare that churches will walk in the boldness of Jesus Christ, in humility and unity, and will see signs, wonders, and miracles as the Gospel is preached unapologetically.

We declare the scripture found in Matthew 16:18 “... on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.” In Jesus' Name we pray, Amen.
