Let’s spend the next few days praying Isaiah 51 over our hearts and the nation where we reside or are from. There is power in praying Scripture, because we are speaking back to the Lord what He has already said. We are in alignment with His heart. In John 17, Jesus prayed for us toContinue reading “Praying Isaiah 51 Over Our Hearts and Nation”

Praying for a Hopeful Future for Our Children
Let’s pray Jeremiah 29:11-14 over our country today, asking God to bring us back from all the ways we’ve been captive to the enemy, so our children (and we) will have a hope and a future of abundant life. John 10:10. “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans toContinue reading “Praying for a Hopeful Future for Our Children”
Starvation in Afghanistan
The UN has estimated a nearly 23 million Afghans are facing extreme levels of hunger and as many as one million children could die this winter from starvation. Let’s pray.

Pray for Tonga
Communication systems are down after an undersea volcanic eruption and tsunami. Let’s join together in prayer for the people of the Oceania country of Tonga.

Do it such a way that allContinue reading “Pray for Tonga”
Building Oneness with Christ
What does it look like to walk in the Spirit? Galatians 5:16, 25. I’m still learning and growing in this area, but one habit that has helped greatly to position me for more of His flow is to make Jesus my first thought. Before I open my eyes. Before I get out of bed. BeforeContinue reading “Building Oneness with Christ”
Pray for Those Trapped in Strongholds
A stronghold is a habitual sin or negative thought process that has such a “strong hold” on you it controls your responses rather than the Holy Spirit. Common examples are anxiety, anger, depression, lust, pornography, judgment, pride, self-pity, addictions, jealousy, control, unforgiveness, etc. The walls of these enemy fortifications are built with lies contrary toContinue reading “Pray for Those Trapped in Strongholds”

What the World Needs Now Is Jesus
Lord, we have chased our own agendas, run over people to push them, only to find we were wrong all along. We have sought what we thought would satisfy, only to find ourselves empty again. Father, these days are trying, hard for all of us in so many ways. Please empty us of all theContinue reading “What the World Needs Now Is Jesus”
Pray for North Korea
Two hypersonic-missile tests claimed to have been “successful” this week serve as a loud reminder to launch our own weapons of prayer (Ephesians 6:10-20) for this Communist country ranked most dangerous in the world for Christians. “Being discovered as a Christian is a death sentence in North Korea. If you aren’t killed instantly, you willContinue reading “Pray for North Korea”
Invitation to Intimacy
Have you ever reached out to someone, wanting a deeper connection, but they didn’t take you up on that invitation? As you shared your heart, did they looked at their watch? Check their social media notifications? Talk over you? Walk out of the room? It’s not uncommon. But what the Lord was asking me toContinue reading “Invitation to Intimacy”
