Focusing on Prayer

Our focus for May seems appropriate since it has begun with the National Day of Prayer for the United States.  The event is based on Romans 15:13, which has three points of focus: hope, joy and peace through the power given to all believers by the Holy Spirit of God.

"Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that you will abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit." Romans 15:13

With so much negativity, discouragement, and thoughts of despair, we need to spread the message about the "God of Hope" who will meet every need spiritually, physically, financially, emotionally, and socially.  God is our hope, our only hope and to Him we lift our voices humbly in prayer for our nation and the world.

For more focused devotionals on prayer, please visit our National Day of Prayer topic.

National Week of Prayer

Verse of the Week

“If My people who are called by My name will humble themselves,

I will hear from Heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land.”

(2 Chronicles 7:14 NKJV)

2 Chronicles 7:14; Hebrews 4:16; Mark 3:25; Habakkuk 2:14

National Week of Prayer

Today we begin a special National Week of Prayer leading up to America’s National Day of Prayer, which is the first Thursday in May.  Although this is an American event, all believers from every nation are encouraged to take part as we seek God’s face for salvation, healing and mercy for our land(s).

“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.”

(2 Chronicles 7:14 NKJV)

This year's theme is "Pray God's Glory Across the Earth" based on the scripture in Habakkuk 2:14:

"For the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the LORD, 

as the waters cover the sea."

Each day we will unite in prayer and enter God’s throne room covering seven specific subjects throughout the week.  A reminder will be posted here and on our Facebook site daily to pray throughout the day.

“Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we

may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need.”

(Hebrews 4:16 NKJV)

We begin this National Week of Prayer by praying for the family. (cw)

“If a house is divided against itself, that house cannot stand.” (Mark 3:25)
