prayer for
National renewal






Scripture for Reflection and Preparation


Psalm 119:105 “105 your word is a lamp for my feet and a light on my path.”



Psalm 1:1-2 “1 How happy is the man who does not follow the advice of the wicked, or take the path of sinners, or join a group of mockers! 2 instead, his delight is in the lord’s instruction, and he meditates on it day and night.”



1 Timothy 4:6-8 “6 if you point these things out to the brothers, you will be a good servant of Christ Jesus, nourished by the words
of the faith and of the good teaching that you have followed. 7 But have nothing to do with irreverent and silly myths. rather, train yourself in godliness, 8 for, the training of the body has a limited benefit, but godliness is beneficial in every way,
since it holds promise for the present life and also for the life to come.”

Embrace of Biblical Values

National renewal will only occur when the people choose morality.
