Father, we pray against the globalist agenda. Keep us free, God, and prevent any digital currency from stealing our privacy and rights.
Father, You are our Judge, You are our Lawgiver, You are our King, You will save us! We stand on the authority of Your Word from Isaiah 33:22. I declare that the hearts of our leaders will be convicted by You to want to do what is right in Your eyes. They will hold each other accountable to make wise decisions that will benefit the people of the United States of America. I am praying and believing that our nation will be protected from defaulting in the name of Jesus. I pray in advance against any spirit of incitement that would try to get people stirred up to bring retaliation of any kind when righteous decisions are made in our government. I declare Your Shalom, Shalom peace over all of those contemplating this. Father, send Your assisting angel army to push back the forces of darkness involved in this. Let Your Justice and Your Peace rule and reign in this situation we pray in the mighty name of Jesus.
