Precious Father,
We come before You today to lift up the state of Alabama, recognizing how much this state needs Your hand of mercy and grace upon it, as do we all. Much blood was shed upon it's ground and the blood of Your saints cry out for justice. Lives were unjustly taken, whether it be that of the American Indian or the African American or any others. While America has much it can be proud of, it also has much done much that it should grieve over and turn repentative hearts to You.
Father, we seek forgiveness for this state and pray that each one living there will be touched by Your Spirit, coming to know the goodness of their Creator that their hearts would be changed through Jesus Christ, seeing all man, women and children as being equal in Your eyes and, thus, should be in their eyes as well. Father, we bind the spirit of prejudice and pride that abides in that state, in the name of Jesus! We release a spirit of humilility and love to flow freely over that state and touch the lives of its people. We bind the spirit of poverty that is found there and we thank You for Your faithfulness to supply their needs through You Son, Jesus Christ as they look to Him as their Lord and Savior.
Father, I pray that multitudes turn their hearts to You and to Your Son, Jesus Christ, not only saying they believe in You, but living as You showed us how to do through Your Son. Let it be so, in His name I pray. And, Holy One, thank You for hearing the prayers of Your faithful saints that come froth from the state of Alabama, in Jesus' name. Amen.
