Heavenly Father, source of wisdom, strength, and mercy, we lift up our nation—America—before You today.In these uncertain times, when threats gather and danger draws near, we ask for Your hand of protection to be upon this land. Guard America from the shadow of war, from the schemes of those who wish harm, and especially from the rising tensions with Iran and all who stir unrest.Frustrate the plans of the wicked, expose lies and darkness, and raise up leaders of integrity, courage, and peace — men and women who walk in truth and govern with wisdom.Bless and protect our military, our first responders, and all who stand watch to preserve peace and liberty. Give strength to the weary, hope to the discouraged, and unity to a divided people.Turn the hearts of this nation back to You. May we remember our foundations, and seek justice, mercy, and humility in our path forward.Let peace reign in our cities, and may Your presence dwell in our hearts and homes.In Your holy name, we pray.Amen.
