The White House issued a Presidential Message calling for September 28th to be a National Day of Prayer and Return for our nation. This coincided with two major prayer events being held in the nation’s capital. Read along with the declaration, below, and agree in prayer!

Presidential Message on the National Day of Prayer and Return, 2020

Issued on: 

On this inaugural National Day of Prayer and Return, the First Lady and I join millions of Christians here in the United States and around the world in prayer, as we turn our hearts to our Lord and Savior.

Our great Nation was founded by men and women of deep and abiding faith—a faith that has stood the test of time.  Four hundred years ago, early American settlers trusted their lives to His providence and braved a voyage to a New World.  From the pilgrims who sought His protection aboard the Mayflower to the countless believers who today bow their heads to ask for His guidance during these unprecedented times, our country continues to turn to the Lord.  Following in our ancestors’ footsteps we continue the “firm reliance on the protection of Divine Providence” that provides us enduring strength and reassurance in our times of need.

The trials and tribulations the American people have faced over the past several months have been great.  Yet, as we have seen time and again, the resolve of our citizenry—fortified by our faith in God—has guided us through these hardships and helped to unite us as one Nation under God.  As we continue to combat the challenges ahead of us, we must remember the sage words of President George Washington during his first Presidential Address: “propitious smiles of heaven can never be expected on a nation that disregards the eternal rules of order and right, which Heaven itself has ordained.”  As a country and a people, let us renew our commitment to these abiding and timeless principles.

Today, I am pleased to join my voice to yours in thanking God for blessing this nation with great power and responsibility.  With reverence, humility, and thanksgiving, we beg for His continued guidance and protection.

It is no small declaration when the leader of the free world makes public a declaration of prayer and return. This is steeped not only in our own history but biblical history!! As we saturate ourselves in the word of God and various historical precedents in world history, we see this example set before many times. It becomes even more critical with the present time we live in.
Let us not get sidetracked by who we should or would liked to heard more from in The Return meeting. This worldwide meeting is and was about the people of God returning to their first love – God Almighty! If and/or when we do that, we will begin to see the unsaved, the lost, the distracted or hardened souls around us start flooding towards the salvation of Christ.
Let’s move our eyes to the harvest that is about to take place!

I am very thankful that President Trump made this declaration. Even if he didn’t understand all that he was doing, the fact is – in the authority of the president of the United States, he made this proclamation. I believe this opens up doors in the heavenlies and an opportunity to pray with agreement and confidence.

Father God, we turn our hearts in prayer to our LORD and Savior, Jesus Christ. We trust in Your providence and seek Your guidance and protection. Renew our hearts. We ask You, in reverence and Godly fear, humility, and thanksgiving, to forgive our sins and heal our land. Amen

I would of liked to hear more of Ann Graham Lotz And Franklin Graham Speak at the Return and It would of been really nice if Tony Evans, Pricissla Shire,Beth Moore ,David Jermiah Talk to all the people instead of same group of people talking the same thing and it was too far to one sided.

Are we sure it’s the 28th of September (2 Days ago)? Please confirm, I would like to tell people about it… That was Yom Kippur, so I guess we were already mourning — Maybe he’ll declare 1 every week or month? I know Plymouth 2020 is next Tuesday, Oct 6th with Carter Colon of NY Times Square (The church founded by David Wilkerson)…

As we continue to combat the challenges ahead of us, we must remember the sage words of President George Washington during his first Presidential Address: “propitious smiles of heaven can never be expected on a nation that disregards the eternal rules of order and right, which Heaven itself has ordained.” As a country and a people, let us renew our commitment to these abiding and timeless principles.

Our president understands a bit about the battle we are in spiritually or he would not have expressed his concern here as he does. Oh, that we would also understand that this battle is before each one of us and we either fight with the armor of God to speak boldly, as Paul asked in Ephesians, or we brush off what we know to be evil in our society and refuse to face those facts. We are all accomplices in this battle to one degree or another.
It is time to stop playing around and get to the serious work of confession of our sins. That is the first step to true repentance. Only then will we be forgiven and our land healed.

    Amen and amen. I was reading a quote today that was written by a pastor who frequents the White House. He said that “Trump is a man who loves God! …he wants to be remembered as the president who prayed more than any other.”

i didn’t read this until today 9/29 but I prayed and agreed because he is the leader of our country.

I really was saddened on how the debate went last night and I pray that God can forgive us as a nation and not hold against us the actions for these two men I pray for grace and mercy upon our nation and that no matter what we see or hear in the world that we put our trust in God. He will lead us to the truth he never lets us down. I am praying for salvation for all

    And why was Joe Biden allowed to wear an earpiece (so that someone could tell him what to say) yet Trump wasn’t wearing an earpiece?

    In this present political climate, there is a spirit of anger and accusation like never before. So I put no confidence in the flesh, but in the LORD. Also Paul said follow me as I follow Christ. I believe President Trump has good intentions, but we all need prayer and transformation. It was encouraging as I listened to the struggles and victories of Mike Lindell on The Return.

On behalf of our nation I repent for the innocent blood of aborted human beings who are created in Your holy image with a purpose and hope. Forgive our selfish, callous hearts, for allowing this to happen to millions of victims both women and their babies. Avenge the blood of the innocent and forgive and librate the tormented souls of the women who were deceived to believe that the precious lives within them were of no value. Unleash Your fury upon these evil institutions that perform these abominations, cut off their funding, all public funding through righteous laws enacted and evil laws reversed. Expose their mission to diminish black and minority lives, to profit from the selling of fetal tissue, and their evil connections to organized crime and spiritual depravity. Cleanse and heal our nation from this scourge. We pray for dignity and respect for humanity. We pray for holiness and righteousness of our affections and actions, to honor You and those created in Your image. I declare sanctity and holiness of life to prevail in our country. Men and women here in America and abroad who are created in Your image to fulfill the purposes and destinies for which You created them. Through Your grace unveil Your truth, open hearts and minds to Your plans and purposes. In repentance have mercy on us through the shed blood of Your Son, Jesus.
God bless our President Donald Trump for a second term to establish righteous law and order in our country and abroad.

I respectfully disagree. Pres Trump does not endorse white supremacists or Antifa.

As Christians we should continue to pray for God’s truth to be revealed to all people, and to receive His wisdom and discernment.

If all people accept Jesus, who said “I am the Way, the Truth and the Light” there would be no racism of any kind.

Father God, we thank you for pres Trump’s proclamation. We praise you for this official reminder to our nation to repent, pray and run to Jesus for Truth.
Amen

On the Mall,Saturday, that very prayer against Racism was done by every people group throughout the USA and the world for the sins of prejudice, bigotry and racism against any people rose to Heaven. Intercessors are crying out regarding all sin ; pleadIng to God on a continuing basis for Forgiveness and healing through the blood His Son, shed for all. Discrimination being a great scourge along with its past history of slavery In the US and still going on elsewhere in the world were called out along with the immorality that is killing families, injustices and greed against all peoples, sexual trafficking of countless children and women here and throughout the world, pornography, that deadens souls and destroys lives, and Abortion that has killed 65,000,000 human beings who had no choice to choose such a decision. 1/4 of the African American community has been destroyed because of Abortion, and they were targeted! We who represented IFA were crying out to God on behalf of ourselves and our nations. I agree with you , our sins, none of them, can be ignored or denied in any area and that’s why IFA exists to call to mind so we can repent before a Great God!
I’m sure you are thrilled along with many to know that the KKK along with Antifa is to be declared a terrorist organization!

This is very exciting news to have a National Day of Prayer and Return. This article is a very good reminder that we as citizens have the right to our faith and the foundation of this nation is faith in God as described in the Bible, not faith is Satin or any other man made god.

Gods word tells us that we have free will to believe in Him or not. So for those that choose not to believe in Him, that is fine. However we need to remember and remind those that choose not to believe in God, this nation was and still is guided by Biblical principles.

We as faithful followers of Jesus Christ need to respectfully object when others use Satins strategy of deception and lies. We need to speak for the Ten Commandments and speak against the killing of unborn children, sexual immorality, lies, and deception.

Ephesians 5:15-17 tells us “ 15 Be very careful, then, how you live—not as unwise but as wise, 16 making the most of every opportunity because the days are evil. 17 Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the Lord’s will is.”

My wife and I were blessed to be in DC for the Prayer Walk and list to speakers from “The Return”. To be among an estimated 100,000 like minded believers praying and worshiping God was an amazing experience (and who knows how many people were watching on line?). I believe our prayers of a revival are being answered by way of technology. We now live in a world that allows us study the word of God and be unified with tools such as this site IFAPRAY.ORG. Additionally we can watch and listen to bold Pastors and prophetic speakers across our nation and from around the world and not be limited to our local church.

I am excited to see how the Lord will continue to grow our national network of the Body Of Christ and how we will speak with one voice guided by the Holy Spirt.

Lord I thank and praise You in Jesus name.

Let us declare openly and loudly the God we serve with confidence and boldness.

Let humility and righteous living be our worship to the living God, creator of all things.

May repentance be a daily part of our lives to honor our Father in Heaven.

Lord, I ask you would bring us to our knees individually and corporately that we may truly walk in Your ways continually.

Amen
