Father God, I come boldly before your throne of grace.  First asking for forgiveness of all my sins, sins I willfully and knowingly committed and then sins committed and not even realized.  Please cast them as far as the east is from the west. Please forgive me and hear my hearts prayer.  I thank you Jesus and Holy Spirit for interceding right now on my behalf.  For making sense of the words from my heart and bringing them before the Father.

 

God I repent for not taking this assignment seriously.  You’ve got my attention, I’m listening and I’m responding.  We’ve got to do more than fb, tweet and instagram that we’re praying…we’ve got to get on our knees and actually pray.  That’s what I’m doing God. 

I lift up the state of Massachusetts to you God….the City of Boston.  Yesterday they experienced tragedy.  Three people crossed from time into eternity.  Over 140 were injured God.  You know God, you saw it, and it didn’t catch you by surprise.  I know your grace kept it from being much worse.  God I pray for those family members who lost loved ones yesterday.  Those who are haunted that they never had a chance to say goodbye.  Those who are angry, hurt and confused right now because the one they loved is now gone from their presence.  God I pray for peace to flood their hearts.  I know they may struggle with the how and why, but God, please give them supernatural peace.  Please touch the heart of that mother who lost her child in the explosion.  God, she needs you like never before.  Cover her mind from thoughts and attacks of the enemy.  God touch her heart as she now deals with unspeakable pain and the assignment of burying a child.  I pray for the families of all of those who lost their lives.  I speak comfort and peace to their hearts.  Supernatural peace blankets them right now in the name of Jesus.

 

God, I pray for those who are laying in those hospitals in Boston who are in critical condition.  I pray for their healing.  Physically and spiritually.  Please send your healing angels up and down those hospital hallways and rooms.  Touch the hands and hearts of the doctors and nurses and staff who are caring for all those injured.  God send comfort and peace and hope into the lives of those stretched out in pain, in a daze, in a fog.  Not knowing what happened, but knowing they are still alive.  I pray for supernatural strength and grace for those who had to lose limbs because of those explosions.  God someone ran their last race with two working limbs and their heart will be crushed by that.  But God, I pray that you would overwhelm them with joy even in the midst of.  Let them know they may not have two limbs, but they still have their lives.  I pray that you would grace them to walk out extraordinary lives under new conditions.  Many didn’t know that when they awoke Monday morning that by Monday evening they would not have fully working limbs, they would be covered in blood, that they would be in pain.  But you are a healer and a restorer and a keeper and in the midst of praying for these folks God, I thank you for still being God.  For still being sovereign.  For having an answer to this problem that lies before these people.  Touch their minds, touch their hearts, give them renewed hope and strength.  Cover them from the attacks of the enemy while they are vulnerable right now.

 

God I thank you for those who had minor injuries, and were able to go home.  They didn’t need surgery or a hospital bed.  But I thank you for sparing their lives.  I pray that they now live those lives with renewed purpose and urgency.  Have mercy upon them and grant them guidance as they walk out new steps in life.  Let them realize they survived and they are still here for a purpose.

 

God, everyone who was directly affected by this is going to wake up this morning with a choice.  Whether to turn bitter and live in regret and hurt and pain, or to choose life and to live with renewed zest.  God, it’s my heart’s prayer that they would choose life.  Give them the courage, strength and fortitude to choose life.

 

God I pray for whoever is responsible for hurting so many people through this senseless act.  This is the hardest part.  We as humans want vengeance, but God you said vengeance is yours, so we lay them at your feet.  They have hurt the hearts, minds and lives of so many people today.  You know who they are, why they did it and just when they will be found.  Be with the hearts of the victims.  Please don’t let this bitter their hearts, but compel them to more.  I pray that they awaken tomorrow with renewed brotherhood for mankind, with a renewed sense of purpose.  With gratitude for life on their hearts and minds.  God I just pray for an angelic presence from you to cover the city of Boston and everybody who was directly impacted by the events yesterday at the Boston Marathon. 

 

God thank you for being our Abba Father, our Daddy God.  We run to you Lord like never before.  Seeking direction.  Show us how to pray, who to pray for.  What regions the enemy is planning attacks against and how to circumvent them with our prayers.  We thank you for being a gracious God even in the midst of so much confusion and pain.  Thank you for blanketing our lives with your grace.  Cover us, keep us, guard us and be gracious unto us.  We lay the people of Boston at your feet and ask you to cover them, heal them, forgive them, bless them, restore them, strengthen them and save them.  Them is us.  Them is the world, the US, the doctors, lawyers, preachers, teachers, runners, workers, children, people of the world.  Them just happened to be Boston today.

 

Thank you for hearing my prayer God, but not only for hearing, but for answering.  I thank you God for the right and privilege to speak with you and tell you all about it.  Thank you for an always open line of communication.  Thank you God!  I pray this prayer in the matchless, marvelous name of Jesus! The words of this prayer are covered under the Blood of Jesus and not even readable to the enemy and I thank you for that God! In Jesus Name… Amen!
