Reminder: Better than just voting this year, and that indeed is good to do, it's time to get on our knees and call out to the Lord to help our Land, our cities, our schools, our friends and our families. Come to..or come back to God's word today. Would you sincerely pray something like this...

Lord God, please forgive us for drifting away from you and the Bible. And this taking a stride from you.. from our Master side.. seems to have been happening faster lately--the drift has sadly been accelerated. As our cities continue to burn and innocent people are killed.. we humble ourselves asking for your help. Please send another spiritual awakening and an authentic biblical revival. Yes, for our pastors, people, churches, and cities. For all of us.

You alone are our living hope and main focus, Jesus -- not this world system, not the Democrats, not the Independents, and not the RINO Republicans. Have many of them made themselves our enemies, and the enemies of our great Land? It appears that way as they continue to destroy in different cities. I pray that you would convict them and grant repentance.. and have those busy destroying arrested to teach people and to protect the innocent lives. Please turn us all back to you, Lord. Bless our enemies with a change of mind, repentance and salvation then our cities and country would be a whole lot better. Thanks Jesus. Amen. Fish4souls.org

Here's some content related to Prayer Specifics organized into subcategories.
What is the purpose of the imprecatory psalms?
God blesses those who have made themselves his enemies. What is the meaning of Matthew 5:45?
To “imprecate” means to pray against evil doers doing their evil. To imprecate refers to wishing evil upon an evil-doer. It has its roots in praying, but "imprecate" ultimately derives from the Latin verb precari, meaning "to pray, ask, or entreat." "Precari" is also the ancestor of such English words as "deprecate" (which once meant "to pray against an evil person." The imprecatory prayers in the Bible strike people today as strange or wrong. Is God okay with us desiring to see equal justice for all people (unlike we so often in our day and in our Lands see happen.. where the evil Elites hurt innocent citizens and often get a pass)? 
How can I know if I am praying the right type of prayer?
It is indeed right to protect your family, those people we love, and other innocent people around as well, but is it ever right to take revenge or act vindictively?
How can I impact, see change happen... effectively intercede for others through my prayer life?

"The name of the LORD is a strong tower; the righteous run to it and are safe." Proverbs 18:10

- Father, by faith in Jesus' great name we run into Your presence, where we can be surrounded by Your powerful and loving arms.
- Father, Jehovah (I AM WHO I AM), the eternal and unchanging one we love. Thanks that you are always with us in this present moment. We look to you -- you are our main focus today. How desperately we need You now, to be in the moment with those who are fighting or facing destruction from fires and storms, who are treating those with COVID, or making decisions affecting millions of lives. (Exodus 3:14; Hebrews 13:5; Daniel 2:22; Colossians 1:9) Inject praise and petitions from your own heart to God if ya like. Yes, anywhere in here.. continue on adding in your personal prayer if or as the Holy Spirit leads you to...
- Father, we set our minds on you, our Jehovah Sabaoth, as we pray for our enemies and for those people facing giants in their lives (such challenging and hard circumstances etc). We remember how David faced Goliath, knowing the battle was Yours. He used his simple slingshot with a rock, and in Your power defeated the giant. Where are the stones so to speak that we are to use for victory? We pray for wisdom and guidance. Enable those facing giant problems in their lives to turn to You with David’s kind of biblical faith. Give them total victory, that others may see Jesus in them and see Your glory. (1 Samuel 17:45-50).
- Father, we come to You, Jehovah Shamma, who already knows, who is already there...
The needless shootings, chaos, and turmoil in our communities increases, yet we are confident that You are
there. We call on You who search minds and hearts to bring an end to this violence! Give us the peace
and safety we yearn for in our neighborhoods. (Ezekiel 48:35; Psalm 7:9).
- Father, Jehovah Rophe, we call to You on behalf of those who need physical and emotional healing...
Many need to heal from the virus or the grief of loss. Anxieties have pushed many into depression, and
some, even the young, have considered suicide. We come with the heart of the Centurion, asking You to
speak the word to bring the healing they need. (Exodus 15:26; Matthew 8:5-10). 
- Father, Jehovah Shalom, we ask for peace of mind for educators and all concerned...
Educators and parents are still dealing with their new realities because of COVID, as they balance
students’ learning needs with safety concerns. Help them to give You their anxious thoughts and fill them
with peace beyond understanding. (Judges 6:24; Philippians 4:6-7).
- Father, Jehovah Rohi, Shepherd of Your flock.. Lead us in paths of righteousness for Your name’s sake. As elections approach, we ask You to give us right-minded leaders of integrity. Give us leaders who will stand on Your Word and not lean on their own understanding. (Psalm 23:1; 7:8; Proverbs 3:5). 
- Father, Jehovah Jireh, who provided the ram in the thicket for Abraham.. You spared Abraham sacrificing his son Isaac, but You did not spare Yourself; You gave Your Son for the sins of the whole world. We cry out to You for the lost because the cost has been paid. Rescue them out of the kingdom of darkness and bring them into the kingdom of light! (Genesis 22:14; 1 John 2:2; Colossians 1:13). In Jesus’ name, amen. Thank you again!
