As we came up on our one-year anniversary of the Prayer Wall, I went through a strange night, awakening over and over to the thick presence of the Lord in the room and an inaudible voice breaking through my sleep to urge, “Go higher…. Press deeper…. Push further…. Higher up….” Awakening. The Great Invitation. NotContinue reading “The Great Invitation”

The Miracle of Mercy
As I pray for those still in danger in Afghanistan, I am reminded of our own escape from the closed country where we served the Lord for many years. Everything changed in an instant. Our security was breached. Our names were made known to those who seek to harm Christians. And we had to flee,Continue reading “The Miracle of Mercy”
Salvation and Restoration – Psalm 80
O Lord, we have wandered so far from You, each one to our own ways, and we have brought destruction down upon ourselves because of our waywardness. We’ve forgotten Who our Creator is and why we were created, and we have worshipped our own ends rather than bowing to Your perfect will and plans. WeContinue reading “Salvation and Restoration – Psalm 80”
Be the Light in Our Darkness, Lord
Let’s continue to pray for those facing power outages in Louisiana and other areas, those still facing fires (even new ones now) in the west, and others in our country who are anxious and grieving losses. Lord, You are the Light of the World. In our time of darkness right now, please shine that Light,Continue reading “Be the Light in Our Darkness, Lord”
Praying for Our Families
Let’s pray for our families today. Lord, we ask You, by Your divine care, to please watch over our families and children. Guard our hearts from every evil attack. Give us wisdom in every situation to know what to say and to do to care for our spouse’s heart and our children’s. Bind us togetherContinue reading “Praying for Our Families”
Lord, Empower Us to Love
Pray for protection, courage, and empowering from the Lord for those who stand for what is right and good, but who are persecuted relentlessly by those who disagree, who have been blinded by the enemy and push his purposes, rather than God’s. Lord, please make us strong and courageous. Teach us what it means toContinue reading “Lord, Empower Us to Love”
Christians Offer Relief and Love to Hurricane Victims
With more than 1 million without power and more than 600,000 without water in the intense Louisiana heat, many Christian families who have generators or other means of electricity have invited those who are stranded into their homes and are now loving them into Jesus’ arms. “He is sending to us the 25-30-year-old unbelievers,” oneContinue reading “Christians Offer Relief and Love to Hurricane Victims”
Rescue Us, O God. We Need You.
In honor of so many who have died and who continue to face grave danger, we gathered in silent prayer yesterday at this Wall. Our tears have wet the ground where we kneel. Our cries have burned within our throats. Our hearts have been laid bare before You. Father, have mercy, please. Still so manyContinue reading “Rescue Us, O God. We Need You.”
Praying Through this Collage of Crisis
Our hearts are grieved as we pray through so many crises in our nation and the world today. As God moves you to pray, head to the Prayer Wall, choose the crisis we are praying together about, and join us there. I didn’t have room to fit all of them in the photo, but youContinue reading “Praying Through this Collage of Crisis”
Mercy, Please, Lord, for Afghanistan
After two suicide bombings at the Kabul airport yesterday, leaving more than 100 dead (including at least 95 Afghans and 13 US troops), and as the August 31 evacuation deadline approaches, … Father God, Lord of the Nations, we cry out to You. Please have mercy on the peoples of Afghanistan and on our nationContinue reading “Mercy, Please, Lord, for Afghanistan”
