Prayer to the believer is like air that we breathe. We can't live without it!
The National Day of Prayer is upon us May 1, 2014. If you need some focus on what to pray about, I thought this list might be helpful.
It's our wish that this list will encourage you as you seek to share your heart with Yeshua on an ongoing basis.
Prayer is like the very air we breathe and it's our most powerful weapon that God has given to us.
Prayer List -
Deut. 6:4-9; “Hear, O Israel! The LORD is our God, the LORD is one! “You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your might. “These words, which I am commanding you today, shall be on your heart. “You shall teach them diligently to your sons and shall talk of them when you sit in your house and when you walk by the way and when you lie down and when you rise up. “You shall bind them as a sign on your hand and they shall be as frontals on your forehead. “You shall write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates.
- Pray for Government: From the President and Congress and Supreme Court down to our local mayors and town councils, our government officials need prayer for guidance and wisdom. Whether or not we agree with them politically, these men and women are in positions of authority, and they need our prayers, not just on Thursday, but constantly.
- Pray for Military: There are plenty of miracle stories among America’s soldiers about times they’ve witnessed amazing protection during deadly situations. Keep praying for our soldiers on the field as well as for their leadership all the way up to the decision-makers in the Pentagon. Also remember the families of the fallen, who continue to grieve long after the battles are over.
- Pray for Media: We need an honest and unbiased media in America that will give straight-forward news. We also need to pray for righteous role models in the sports and entertainment industries. Pray for America’s heart to be moved regarding these things.
- Pray for Business: This means far more than praying for the economy. We need to pray for honest and ethical behavior in American companies. The United States is a nation of business, and righteous and wise business practices lead to prosperity just as corruption and greed have led to destruction.
- Pray for Education: A knowledge of the Bible was once considered an integral part of education, and literacy was vital to being able to read God’s Word. That attitude has completely changed in our education system, and despite vast amounts of money and effort, our schools are riddled with apathy, illiteracy, and violence. We need to pray for the students in our schools as well our teachers and the policy makers who affect education decisions.
- Pray for Church: Our pastors and their families need constant, daily prayer. They need to be able to lead their local bodies through the strength and guidance of the Holy Spirit, and they need protection and encouragement in the midst of constant stresses and temptations. We also need to pray for the Church across America and across the world. We are a Body, and when one member is hurting, we all suffer. We need to care for one another.
- Pray for Family: We were all raised by somebody. Family is the foundation of society, and if our homes are filled with abuse and neglect, our country is in serious trouble. We need to pray for loving marriages in America. We need our homes to be places where parents practice what they preach and demonstrate to children how wise and healthy decisions are made.
God Bless you as you seek to serve the Lord with all of your heart, soul and might!
