Opening Repentance
Heavenly Father,
We come before You in humility and repentance. We acknowledge the sins that stain this land. First, we confess that this nation was built on land taken unjustly from Native peoples. Their homes, cultures, and lives were stolen through violence, broken treaties, and greed. Lord, forgive us for the unrepented sin of stolen land and the bloodshed of Indigenous peoples, which still cries out from the earth.
We also confess that America has shed innocent blood through slavery, racial violence, lynchings, and unjust killings. The cries of those who suffered under oppression and injustice still echo in our nation. We acknowledge the wounds of racism that continue to shape generations, leaving scars of inequality, division, and brokenness. Lord, forgive us for failing to fully repent and repair the legacy of these sins.
We further confess the sin of idolatry, placing weapons and violence above the value of human life. Guns and instruments of death have been exalted as symbols of power, even at the expense of children’s safety and the sanctity of life itself. Lord, forgive us for worshiping violence and for allowing bloodshed to become normalized. Heal our land from the blood that cries out from the ground (Genesis 4:10).
Covering in the Blood of Jesus
Lord Jesus, we plead Your blood over our children, our schools, our churches, and our communities. Your blood speaks a better word than the blood of Abel (Hebrews 12:24). We apply Your sacrifice as a covering, breaking every claim of the enemy over this land.
Breaking Legal Grounds
In the name of Jesus Christ, we renounce and break every legal ground that has been given to the spirit of murder and violence in America. We cancel every agreement, every covenant with death, and every cycle of bloodshed. We declare that the power of the cross nullifies every legal right the enemy has claimed.
Declarations of Justice & Protection
We declare that no weapon formed against our children, families, or communities shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17).
We declare that justice will roll down like waters, and righteousness like an ever-flowing stream (Amos 5:24).
We declare that America shall confront her racial wounds and pursue true repentance and reparations.
We declare that peace will replace chaos, and unity will replace division.
Binding & Loosing
Father, in the authority of Jesus Christ, we bind the spirits of death, murder, rage, hatred, and despair fueling mass shootings. We loose the Spirit of peace, protection, love, and community over our land (Matthew 18:18).
Blessing & Prophetic Vision
We bless our children with safety, hope, and a future (Jeremiah 29:11).
We bless our schools to be sanctuaries of learning and not fear.
We bless our neighborhoods with strong families, restored dignity, and divine protection.
We bless America to be healed from her wounds, restored in righteousness, and renewed in justice.
Hope for America’s Future
Lord, we believe that America is not beyond Your reach. We believe that this nation, though wounded, can rise again in righteousness. Let America repent and return to You so that she may become a land of peace, a refuge of justice, and a beacon of hope to the nations. May America fulfill her original purpose—to be a place where liberty and truth shine, where families are strong, and where Your name is honored.
Closing
Lord, we will not be silent. We stand in the gap, interceding until this cycle of violence is broken. By Your Spirit, raise up a remnant of intercessors, leaders, and families who will pursue justice until peace covers this land.
In Jesus’ mighty name we pray, Amen.
