40 Days of Prayer for America
We are in the midst of “40 Days of Prayer for America.” National prayer ministries who have joined forces in this effort stress the urgency for Christians to pray in unity for our nation and to get out and vote Nov 3rd.
A “Pray in Unity” website is set up for those who want to participate. It includes One Watch Prayer Guides—40 days of prayers written by key Christian intercessors and leaders.
“Together, we will believe God to continue to turn America back to Him,” writes Dutch Sheets. On his Give Him Fifteen—Appeal to Heaven blog, Dutch gives the following prayers and pointers as related to this intercessory thrust:
A Prayer You Can Pray:
“Lord, hear our unified intercession and come and heal our land. Move on our hearts daily and remind us to pray for the many needs America has. We want to see our nation’s wounds healed. We want to see all sickness and violence and upheaval dissipated. We want to see America fully back on track and in full and glorious revival!
“Lord, help each Believer know when and how to vote in their state. Let there be no shirkers. 61 million babies’ lives must be honored. Human trafficking and child exploitation must be exposed and eliminated. We must find answers for our injustice, division, chaos, financial distress, and moral decline. There is so much at stake. We are asking You God, to come and hover over America, birthing Your purposes in our generation. Thank You, Jesus. Amen.”
Points for Prayer: (by Dutch Sheets)
“Ask the Lord to bring members of the Body of Christ together from across all streams to pray fervently for America. Pray that people will vote for the welfare of their city, state and nation. Pray that Christians will get out and vote. Find out now what the procedure is in your state, so you are not caught unable to vote.”
I want to recommend Warfare Prayers for Women, which I co-authored with Ruthanne Garlock, because it includes 16 focused prayers for America.Published by Chosen Books this year, it is available on Amazon.
America needs prayer! So, let’s do our part—let’s pray and let’s vote.
Scriptures: If My people who are called by My name will humble themselves and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land. Now my eyes will be open and My ears attentive to prayer made in this place. (2 Chronicles 7:14-15 NKJV)
Make my joy complete by being of the same mind, maintaining the same love, united in spirit, intent on one purpose. (Philippians 2:2 NASB)
