A prayer for the American Church based on Nehemiah's prayer in Nehemiah 1.5-11

O Father, God of heaven, the great and awesome God who keeps His covenant of loving devotion with those who love Him and keep His commandments, let Your eyes be open and Your ears attentive to hear the prayer that I, Your servant, now pray before You day and night for Your Son's Bride, the American Church.

I confess the sins Your Son's Bride, the Church, have committed against You. Both I and my father’s house have sinned. We have behaved corruptly against You and have not kept the commandments that Your Son gave us, nor followed His example. Based on the seven letters to the seven churches, I know there are consequences for unfaithfulness and I also know there are promises of rewards for returning to You and obeying You.

Your Son died to redeem your servants and You demonstrated Your mighty power when You raised Him from the dead. Your redeemed servants are Your Son's Bride, the Church. You established the Church so Your manifold wisdom would be made known to the rulers and authorities in the heavenly realms.

O Father, may Your ear be attentive to the prayer of Your servant and to the prayers of Your servants who delight in reverence of Your name.
