70th National Day Of Prayer

Today is the 70th National Day of prayer and we’d love to ask you to join us in prayer for our country, our community, our churches and our families! Take a moment today to create a prayer list. If it feels overwhelming choose one area that is on your heart and focus your prayers there. We’d love for you to post your prayers in the comments here. Join with us as we unite to pray!

1. PRAY FOR UNITY IN AMERICA.

“Making every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace.” Ephesians 4:3

• The present spiritual crisis in America is calling us to pray for and take all necessary actions to come together as a nation.

• God is the only One who can bring unity, harmony, and oneness in America; therefore, we look only to Him in prayer.

• Call upon God to empower us to make every effort to live in unity, call for unity, and forward unity in America continually.

2.PRAY FOR UNITY IN THE CHURCH OF AMERICA.

“Now I urge you, brothers and sisters, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all of you agree in what you say, and that there be no divisions among you, and that you be united with the same understanding and the same conviction.” 1 Corinthians 1:10

• God is calling His church in America to unify upon the authority of the Bible and the centrality of Jesus Christ, the only Savior of the world.

• Ask God for thousands of local churches to unify as one body of Christ, agreeing together that God is our greatest need in America.

• Call upon God for Jesus’ Church in America walks in unity, harmony, and oneness, so His Church personifies, calls, and leads America to unity.

3.PRAY FOR UNITY IN THE FAMILIES, WORKPLACES, SCHOOLS, COMMUNITIES, AND CITIES IN AMERICA.

“Also, the power of God was at work in Judah to unite them to carry out the command of the king and his officials by the word of the Lord.” 2 Chronicles 30:12

• God’s power upon us is the only source to unite our families, workplaces, communities, and cities in America.

• Call families, workplaces, communities, and cities to look to our only King, Jesus Christ, who is not only the King of Kings and Lord of Lords, but also the Prince of Peace who can unify us.

• Pray for America’s families, workplaces, communities, and cities. It is the spiritual energy that leads to forgiveness, reconciliation, healing, and unity.

4. PRAY FOR UNITY AMONG ALL ETHNICITIES AND PEOPLE IN AMERICA.

“For he is our peace, who made both groups one and tore down the dividing wall of hostility.” Ephesians 2:14

• Since each of us is made in the image of God, we each bear His image regardless of the color of our skin or the uniqueness of our ethnicity.

• Through the death of Jesus Christ on the cross, He has torn down the wall of division among all ethnicities and people.

• In God alone, we unify and live in peace with one another; standing as one people against all racial and ethnic division, denouncing it as sin and not God’s will for us.

5. PRAY FOR UNITY THAT WE AGREE CLEARLY, UNITE VISIBLY, AND PRAY EXTRAORDINARILY FOR THE NEXT GREAT SPIRITUAL AWAKENING IN AMERICA.

“They all were continually united in prayer.” Acts 1:14

• Preceding the epic movement of God on the day of Pentecost in Acts 2, Jesus’ people were continually united in prayer together.

• Convict the church in America to wake up spiritually, agree clearly, unite visibly, and pray extraordinarily for the next Great Spiritual Awakening in America to occur in our generation.

• Call upon God to bring spiritual awakening now in America shaping the future of America, just as the Great Spiritual Awakenings in our history have shaped our spiritual heritage as a nation.

John 19:30 “When Jesus had tasted it, he said, “It is finished!” Then he bowed his head and gave up his spirit.”

How great this love, that while we were still sinning Jesus willingly went to the cross and died for our sins. Praise God for His grace and mercy!

🙏🏻PRAYER WARRIORS:🙏🏻 Please remember Sister Amy Whitlock she was suppose to have my last chemo treatment today but had to reschedule, due to having a blood clot in her leg. She is having to take meds for it but is in need of prayers for it to dissolve quickly so she can have her last treatment.

Lord Jesus,
Your Word speaks promises of healing and restoration and I thank You for the miracles You still perform today. Today I claim those promises over my friend, Sister Amy. I believe in the healing power of faith and prayer and I ask You to begin Your mighty work in the life of Your child Sister Amy. I also proclaim Jeremiah 30:17 over her “‘But I will restore you to health and heal your wounds,’ declares the LORD…” Lord, Please reach down and surround her with Your peace and strength and give her the faith of a mustard seed to believe that all these things are possible for You. Protect her from Satan's lies and discouragement and let her healing begin. In Your mighty name, Amen.

🙏🏻 PRAYER WARRIORS: 🙏🏻 Please keep The Graham family in your prayers. Sister Regina Graham lost her father this morning!

Father God,
I come to You on behalf of Sister Regina and all her family for those that her precious father left behind, for the ones with a hollow place in their hearts. I ask You to comfort them, give peace, restore hope, and just lavish Your love on them and remind them of precious memories they will cherish forever. In the depths of this loss, Father go where Sister Regina is and her other family members and place Your loving arms around them and give them that peace that passes all understanding that only You can.
In Jesus Name Amen

Psalm 73:26
My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.

A Palm Sunday Evening Prayer: Hosanna in the Highest!

Father God,
Thank You that Jesus came humbly, riding on a donkey, proclaiming peace. We pray for the peace of Jerusalem and for peace in our times. Make us instruments of Your peace and guide us in the ministry of reconciliation. Our hearts bring loved ones to mind who have yet to acknowledge Jesus's sacrifice on the cross for their own sins. May they find peace in You as we have, in Jesus name. Amen

A Palm Sunday Morning Prayer: Hosanna in the Highest!

Father God,
Your Word is true, and You are faithful. You promised salvation through the Messiah Jesus and today we remember that Jesus fulfilled the Old Testament prophecies of our promised Redeemer. We acknowledge our need for salvation from our sins and rejoice that Jesus is our Deliverer. We celebrate Him today as King and ask that His Kingdom come in our lives. We praise You now and will praise You throughout the coming day and week, in Jesus name. Amen

PRAYER FOR THOSE EFFECTED BY THE STORMS

Lord Jesus,
I pray for Your peace over those who have had to go through and experience the strong storms yesterday and I pray for the families of the ones that lost their lives due to those storms. Please grant them all peace and protection amidst the storms, like when You calmed the raging storm out to sea (Mark 4:35–41).

Jesus, even the winds and waves obey Your voice. I pray that those who have experienced these storms and was effected by the storms who don’t know Your name may learn how great a name it is, and find rest and solace in salvation that only comes from You.

I also pray for the relief in the areas which was hit the hardest and for anyone that may have experienced damage due to storms.
May Your church swing open their doors to the needy and provide meals and comfort to those who have lost much. May people see the light of Your love from those who seek to help those in need now. In Your mighty name I pray, Amen!

Luke 8:22-25
“One day Jesus said to his disciples, “Let us go over to the other side of the lake.” So they got into a boat and set out. As they sailed, he fell asleep. A squall came down on the lake, so that the boat was being swamped, and they were in great danger. The disciples went and woke him, saying, “Master, Master, we’re going to drown!” He got up and rebuked the wind and the raging waters; the storm subsided, and all was calm. “Where is your faith?” he asked his disciples. In fear and amazement they asked one another, “Who is this? He commands even the winds and the water, and they obey him.”
