TOPIC: PRAYERS FOR YOUR NATION

MEMORY VERSE
Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: they shall prosper that love thee. Psalm 122:6

Summary Of Open Heavens Wednesday, 1st October, 2025

God commands us to pray for our nation, its leaders, and all citizens so that we may live in peace, unity, and godliness. As believers, we must thank Him for His past mercies, commit our resources and economy into His hands, and ask for wisdom, transparency, and accountability in leadership. We should also pray against crises, unrest, and ungodly influences, while seeking revival that will ignite both young and old for Christ. When we intercede faithfully for our land, God will heal, prosper, and establish it in His will.

BIBLE TEXT

1 Timothy 2:1-2
[1]I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men;

[2]For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty.

Malachi 1-4

Open Heavens Wednesday, 1st October, 2025 HYMN 22 SWEET HOUR OF PRAYER

1 Sweet hour of prayer! Sweet hour of prayer!
That calls me from a world of care,
And bids me at my Father’s throne
Make all my wants and wishes known.
In seasons of distress and grief,
My soul has often found relief,
And oft escaped the tempter’s snare
By thy return, sweet hour of prayer!

2 Sweet hour of prayer! Sweet hour of prayer!
The joys I feel, the bliss I share
Of those whose anxious spirits burn with strong desires for thy return!
With such I hasten to the place
Where God my Savior shows His face,
And gladly take my station there,
And wait for thee, sweet hour of prayer!

3 Sweet hour of prayer! Sweet hour of prayer!
Thy wings shall my petition bear
To Him whose truth and faithfulness
Engage the waiting soul to bless.
And since He bids me seek His face,
Believe His word, and trust His grace,
I’ll cast on Him my every care,
And wait for Thee, sweet hour of prayer!
