Pray for Families (Prayer for our Homeland)

Greetings Prayer Warriors,

When we look at any group in Scripture, whether it be the apostles, a family, a tribe, an army, a nation, or kingdom, their true power depends not on its numbers or its armament, but in it’s faith in God. Without faith and a trust in God, foolish decisions are made stemming from pride, greed, and a desire for worldly power.

Listen to my voice; then I will be your God and you shall be my people. Walk exactly in the way I command you, so that you may prosper.  
Jeremiah 7:23

As our nation teeters in faith, seeks an independent spirit, and its roots in and under God weaken, our nation unknowingly loses its true strength.

But they did not listen to me, nor did they pay attention. They walked in the stubbornness of their evil hearts and turned their backs, not their faces, to me. This is the nation which does not listen to the voice of the LORD, its God, or take correction. Faithfulness has disappeared; the word itself is banished from their speech.  Jeremiah 7:24; 28

We must pray for our nation, our homeland.   We are a pilgrim people, many seeking our eternal homeland.  Let’s pray for an increase in our faithfulness and a strengthening of our country as one nation under God.  May we one day proudly recognize that our strength lies in Him.  May we then become a bright  light for all nations. Faithfulness begins in the family.  Lift up your voices in prayer and pray for America and it’s leaders.   Then pray for our brothers and sisters in Christ throughout the world, especially those being persecuted for their faith.

Peace, Joy, and Love,
Janet

Be a warrior of prayer.  Build His army.  Pass it on!
