Lord, we pray for the 17 missionaries (including children) who are being held hostage for ransom by gang members in Haiti since Saturday. Be a Mighty Shield around them, holding back the enemy and caring for all their needs. Protect them from harm and fight for them.

Pray for Hong Kong
China has jumped six places from last year’s Open Doors World Watch List of most dangerous countries for Christians to live. In just three years, it has risen 26 places. That rapid increase of persecution has made its way into the booming economic zone of Hong Kong, with new laws clamping down on those seenContinue reading “Pray for Hong Kong”
Courage to Live
Where do we find ourselves now, Lord? Are we living for You? Or are we still wandering around in all our disappointments and fears, hoping our way might still work somehow? Oh, Lord, You keep bringing us to the end of ourselves, so we will rise up and choose You. Give us courage today toContinue reading “Courage to Live”
Prayer for the Persecuted
Lord, we ask You for Christians all throughout the world who are undergoing persecution at this time. Give them strength and courage to endure, forgive, love, and proclaim Your Good News, even in the face of great hardship. Give them wisdom every moment to know what to do, where to go, what to say; andContinue reading “Prayer for the Persecuted”
Return to What Is Right
Hosea 14, 6:1 This prayer was posted on the Prayer Wall this time last year. Still so relevant today. People of God, do not give up the fight. Let’s pray…. Lord, disconnect the enemy’s instructions from those who do his bidding. Throw the powers of darkness into confusion. And speak, Lord God Almighty. Loudly andContinue reading “Return to What Is Right”
Protect Our Children, Lord
With all the disturbing news of late—and that’s just what’s been brought to light—let’s pray for our children today…. Lord, we ask You for a shield of protection around our children. Please, Father, guard them with Your angels. Fight for them. When evil and harm come against them, stand in the way. Protect those whoContinue reading “Protect Our Children, Lord”
Look in My Eyes
Yesterday, the Lord awakened me to a vision of the bride scrubbing the floor, sweat on her brow. “I see you,” the Lord said to her. He reached out with both hands, and as she took them, He pulled her to her feet to look into His eyes. Don’t be like the wife who runsContinue reading “Look in My Eyes”
What’s Holding You Back?
Let’s leave behind the strongholds that have bound us, and do what it takes to run in the joy of the Spirit’s leading, so we can draw others into His love. A stronghold is a thought process or sin that has such a “strong hold” on you, it controls your reactions rather than the HolyContinue reading “What’s Holding You Back?”
Prayer for Taiwan
Tension has risen in East Asia since Friday, as China has flown 149 aircraft inside Taiwan’s air defense zone, including 56 yesterday. (Communist China considers democratic Taiwan a breakaway province.) Let’s pray now, in the midst of earthly conflict, for God’s divine purposes. Lord, we thank You for the freedom Christians have had to worshipContinue reading “Prayer for Taiwan”
Rise up and LOVE
What earthly causes have made you anxious or angry these days? The Lord is calling us now to rise up out of our fear and hatred. And LOVE. The issues we are fighting about are of this earth. They are temporary. Fix your eyes on what is eternal. Hebrews 12:1-3. When you get to Heaven,Continue reading “Rise up and LOVE”
