Declare a holy fast; call a sacred assembly. Summon the elders and all who live in the land to the house of the Lord your God, and cry out to the Lord
~ Joel 1:14
Intercessors for America invites you to join us for 21 days of fasting and prayer for this new chapter of our nation. What better way to start 2025 than to call upon the Lord and plead for a protected Inauguration, a peaceful transition, and providential authority for this new administration?
Our Monthly Ministry Partners are the lifeblood of IFA.
Join today.
The first seven days of intercessory focus will be on exposing, dismantling, and removing the oppressive and corrupt rot that our Founding Fathers strove to avoid. The second prayer phase will be for discernment, understanding, and preparation for the new dawn that breaks forth. The final seven days will be spent entreating and petitioning the Lord to guide this administration and We The People as we reclaim, restore, and rebuild our governing bodies with foundational truth, honesty, virtue, and nobility.
The November 2020 election results rightly left countless millions distraught and filled with dread for the future of our country. Out of that dread and lament, a national prayer movement launched, which possibly would not have formed otherwise. Four years of faithful, fervent, and travailing prayer sustained us through these long, darkening four years and has now delivered these miraculous election results of 2024.
When the Lord hears a nation’s prayers, it is fitting to thank Him with the same zeal we beseech Him with.
He answered their prayers because they trusted Him.
~ I Chronicles 5:20
And we must continue to trust Him. As much as the November results were the end of one grueling race, the Inauguration on January 20 will sound the starting gun of the next, far more demanding race. This next race will require measures of stamina, resilience, and ingenuity not seen in our lifetime.
This newly formed administration will have four short years to deracinate the systemic roots of corruption in Washington, D.C., restore to prominence the biblical principles upon which this nation was established, and, with all excellence, reclaim the form and spirit of governance our Founders gave to us. These heroes of history derived this lasting blueprint through rigorous learning, keen discernment of human nature, and the ardent study of scripture.
Today, the form of our republic, found mainly in The Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, and the Bill of Rights, remains a firewall against a full-scale invasion of globalist oligarchical tyranny. But the spirit of our republic, which is Christianity, has been muffled, muzzled, and removed from its rightful place in the public square. If the form of our republic is untethered from its animating spirit, the eroding tides of secular paganism and cultural Marxism will eventually recast a malformed landscape our Founders would fail to recognize, and Our Heavenly Father could never bless. Join us as we pray and fast for the tearing down of this ungodly system and for return to the biblically-based government our Founders initially gave us.
The fundamental basis of this nation’s laws was given to Moses on the Mount. The fundamental basis of our Bill of Rights comes from the teachings we get from Exodus and St. Matthew, from Isaiah and St. Paul. I don’t think we emphasize that enough these days. If we don’t have a proper fundamental moral background, we will finally end up with a totalitarian government which does not believe in rights for anybody except the State.
~ Harry Truman, at the Attorney General’s Conference, 1950
So what do we do in response? Our spiritual calling mirrors what will be happening in the natural. Tear down the ungodly structures and spiritual abominations. Seek His Kingdom and its expression through our Founders’ plan for our government. Rebuild in His image as it was intended—and occupy the land.
Read more from Keith as a continuation of this article in our new devotional series beginning January 1.
IFA will be launching a 21-day devotional series to accompany these strategic 21 days of fasting. Fast as you are called in a way that is between you and the Lord.
Plus, you can participate in the live prayer for the Inauguration and the transfer of power with our 48 hour prayer wall for this critical time. We will be releasing more information about this entire prayer initiative soon—watch your email!
Share your prayers for our nation below.

Lord Jesus, I praise your lordship, and you are our king and the king ruling over the universe. The earth is the Lord and all that is in it. I seek your mercy over United States of America especially the inauguration in January. I ask for peaceful transition of power our of Biden administration to Donald J. Trump administration. And that evil plan to disrupt our inauguration celebration be foiled and halted by the powerful name of Jesus. We beseech you Lord Jesus to go before the inauguration with your governmental angles and fight this battle for us and give us the privilege to celebrate with joy, peace and gladness in your mighty name Jesus, Amen.
Dear Jesus,
Please restore our country back to a nation of prayer and worship of you. We pray the people would turn back to you and put you first. We pray for purity and godliness to be put back into our nation and for people’s eyes to be opened to the Truth of your Word. Please protect us from our enemies. Please protect our youth and have them turn to you. In Jesus’ name we pray.
DEAREST LORD GOD
PLESE RESTORE THE ORIGINAL CONSTITUTIONAL REPUBLIC AS OUR FOUNDERS ENVISIONED IT.
I ASK IN JESUS’ NAME
AMEN
Thank you IFA for keeping all of us united in directed prayer and fasting.
Thank you IFA for keeping all of us united in directed prayer and fasting. May the Lord continue to bless you and guide us as we remain diligent in humbling ourselves, turning from our wicked ways, praying, fasting, and seeking His face. The Lord is true to His word to heal our land and heal Israel’s land, yet we are to remain soberly aware that He is also watching our responses to His mercy. We are never again to presume the Lord’s grace. We must continue to do our part in prayer and sanctification for the advancement of His Kingdom here on earth as it is in Heaven for as long as we remain alive. His harvest is all around each one of us. May we bless the Lord of His harvest by being tireless harvesters! Glory be to the Father, Son and Holy Spirit! Amen and amen!

Father thank you that you are true to your promises you have said if we humble ourselves seek your face turn from our wicked ways you would hear and heal our land. You have heard you have raised up President Trump and he is your trump card. I pray Father he remain humble before you that he continually remembers he has this position because you have placed him there. I ask you protect him and his family. Continue to give him wisdom, insight and discernment into ways of restoring our republic. You Father are able to defeat the enemies inside America. You are able to cause them to turn against each other, fight amongst themselves and be defeated. Expose every enemy, every evil plot and every weapon formed against President Trump and cause his intentions for the people to prosper and succeed. Cause the inauguration to go smoothly and without incident and cause each of his appointees to be confirmed quickly. I believe it is your will and so it shall be done. I thank you and give you praise for the outcome. In Jesus name amen.
I surrender myself and the USA to God and that God uses President Trump as He has others throughout history to lead the people to fight against the evil one satan. I pray that President Trump and all who are with him to surrender themselves to God and seek God’s guidance in all matters. Let us all step up a prayer life and thank God and seek God in all we do. Trust in God and his perfect plan.
🙏😇🙏
I’m including prayers for the Trump administration and Christian and conservatives in government in my fasting today. Thank you IFA for organizing this.
I please that President Trump was brought in to the president for just a time as this. The greatest man because he loves God’s people the Jews and will do away with the Anti Jewish feels in this country and bring back the love for Israel. Also I believe he will straighten out the people in congress and the judicial system. He will stop Iran, Russia, and China in their tracks.
Thank you for leading this emphasis on prayer and fasting. My saintly mother walked to the church every Friday morning with $2 in her pocket. The women prayed and fasted their lunch and gave their money for missions. I think if we fast and pray for our nation, God will hear and answer.
In the name of God, the Gracious, the Merciful.
1. Say, “He is God, the One.
2. God, the Absolute.
3. He begets not, nor was He begotten.
4. And there is none comparable to Him.”
YHVH is the One and Only God, who did beget Yeshua His Son through whom He revealed Himself to fallen man as the Messiah of Israel. Through His Holy Spirit and the Word of God – the Bible – this is revealed. If you would like to know Him, I can give you Scripture references to help you.
As a warning to unaware believers in Yeshua – the phraseology in this comment is directly from islamic traditions:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basmala
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Al-Ikhlas
Thank you, Mike.
The orthodox Christian belief is in Jesus Christ who was ‘eternally begotten of the Father’. It sounds a bit odd today but begotten is an important word. The Son was not made – there is not a time when he was not – it is an eternal relationship. Begotten refers to his nature, trees beget trees, humans beget humans. The Son of God is really God – not a creature, not a creation, but from all eternity God.
Gregory of Nazianzus in the fourth century put it well: ‘Father is not a name either of an essence or an action most cleaver sirs. But it is the name of the relation in which the Father stands to the Son, and the Son to the Father
grace and peace to you.
For YHVH so loved the world that He have His only BEGOTTEN Son, that whosoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. John 3:16 Yeshua was eternally existent, and yet begotten, because He came to take on humanity – He is the Incarnate God – the God/man. He alone is the perfect sacrifice for our sins. May you know Him.
Dr. Marshall Foster’s book, THE AMERICAN COVENANT: The Untold Story would be an excellent text to study on early America’s commitment to fasting, humiliation and prayer as we move into 21 Days.
Father, help us not to rest in the laurels of the 2024 election. President-elect won the popular vote, but not by a large margin. Let us remember that we are still in the battle and that 2026 might end what he is doing unless we keep the House and the Senate. Keep us mindful and in prayer that we may see the victory continuing.
Please pray for the 350,000 missing children. Please pray that they are safe. If they are unsafe please pray that their captors will have a holy fear and bring the children to safety. Break the perversion of pedophilia in Jesus name
Keith, I love the Truman quote. Actually our nation’s foundational law code shows a much better grasp of Torah, than many in the body of Christ possess. You also taught me a new word, ‘deracinate’. I presumed it meant pull up because of the context, but looked it up anyway.
YHVH, I join with my brothers and sisters in crying out for our nation. May we remain in a posture of humility and repentance, because it is from that posture alone that we can be exalted.
I Peter 5:5b-6 “Further, all of you should clothe yourselves in humility toward one another, because God opposes the arrogant, but to the humble he gives grace.
Therefore, humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, so that at the right time he may lift you up. You resist the proud, but give grace to the humble.”
May we as the body of Christ experience the Godly unity that comes when we align ourselves and our prayers with Your will and purposes and character.
Father thank you for answering our prayers for America
Father thank you for answering our prayers for America. We know you have given us more time to reach people for Your Kingdom. Help us to not take this time for granted and be the light for all we meet, our post on social media and wherever we are seen or heard. Our hearts cry out for the lost in our nation and beyond. Father we pray no weapon formed against President Trump or anyone in his family, his administration. We pray for truth to be revealed and justice for those who have been harmed. We ask that The Holy Spirit will move in the hearts of the lost, that you will give people hearts of flesh and not of stone. We are so grateful for your mighty power and to know You are in control no man can withstand your mighty power. All Glory, Honor and Praises for You our Holy Father! We ask All this in the Wonderful Name of our Savior Jesus.
I prayed. And do everyday for our nation and Trump administration!
“This newly formed administration will have four short years ”
No!
DJT’s administration will POSSIBLY ONLY have TWO YEARS if We The People fail to work to make sure conservatives are ELECTED to the House and Senate in 2026!!!
The work for that STARTS NOW!!!
If you live in a congressional district that is represented by a Democrat or a RINO, start NOW to find a great conservative candidate to support!!
Just as importantly, LOOK UP YOUR U.S. Senator and find which 6-year cycle their seat comes up for election.
(HINT: TX voters, GET RID of John Cornyn!! and NC voters, REALLY GET RID OF THOM TILLIS!!!!) 😡
Look up “COOK PVI” to see how easy or hard it will be. (Much info is behind a paywall but plenty is still free to view)
Good point, Gail! Till He returns, no sprints, but a marathon is to be expected.
Congrats on your hunger strike.
May you come to the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ.
By God’s grace and merciful love, I look forward and into 2035 while planting a prayer foothold on bended knee and a crying out with We The Body of Christ.
Together! Trusting our Heavenly Father, hearing to say, to pray all the while with humble hearts that bow by Holy Spirit and hear not the wicked one, at all!!!
Father thank you for letting me see this as I too long to be a part. Uniting with Your body to stand for Your will to be done. In Yeshua’s Holy Name
I’m excited to see that there are some serious people who understand what it takes to make the changes in our government that are needed
Joining in the Holy fasting and praying
Sounds good. Lord Jesus, You know the problems and issues that our nation face. I pray for mercy, grace, and favor over our national leaders. I pray for an abrupt halt to all the evil, corrupt behavior that has happened in Washington D.C. over the last four years of the Biden “administration”. Only You can change the political and spiritual atmosphere in our nation. We thank you and praise you in advance for all that you have done, and plan on continuing to do. Thank you, Jesus.
We turn our attention to Nehemiah chapter 1. Seeking the Lord in prayer. Humbly come to Jesus and saying:Holy Spirit give us your favor. Bless the USA, President Trump. and his administration.
Close the mouth of the dragon and give us the strength to stand firm with the Armor of GOD to quenche the arrows of the dragon.
For yours is the Power,and the Kingdom and the Glory now and for ever more. Amen
May We who love America not just say so, but may we show it in our daily prayers for Donald Trump, J D Vance and the other leaders of our new government. Help us, Father God, to show our love for our nation through our actions and not just words because actions speak much louder than words.
May the LORD our GOD be exalted in our Nation and may His blessings cover us…blessings of strength, peace, righteousness and prosperity. May His righteous rule and reign be throughout our land, and righteousness exalt our Nation. Blessed be the Lord God, the God of Israel, who only doeth wondrous things!
