5/26/15

Since our very first days, God’s greatest blessings on the United States of America have been petitioned, experienced and sustained by prayer…from the signing of our nation’s founding documents, in our triumphs during years of both internal and external conflict, through our seasons of both spiritual decline and awakening.  Throughout Scripture and throughout our history as a nation, persistent, prevailing and perpetual prayer has always brought God’s favor. 
 
Right now we are in great need of the united and intentional prayers of the people of God throughout our land.  So, to facilitate the offering of these prayers, I will, for the next 40 days, ending on the 4th of July, daily post a brief scripture passage and a prayer.  I implore you to take thirty seconds to read it and pray it from your heart.  And, be assured… it does matter… it will make a difference.  This 40-day prayer journey will do more to influence our direction and secure our future as a Christian nation than anything else we could possibly do.
 
I want to invite you to join me today and stay on this journey with me until July 4th.  Just check your email daily for 40 consecutive days and protect 30 seconds to read a relevant scripture passage and offer up a passionate prayer.  Here we go…together…
 
“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
 
Father, we seek Your sovereign blessing on our nation.  Forgive us for our many sins and the times when we have failed You.  Draw us back into Your love and strengthen us as a nation to honor and serve You in all that we do.  May we be faithful to the calling that You have given us.  We respectfully and humbly give thanks for Your promise of continued blessing ‘if’...In the name of Jesus, amen.

Blessings,
Pastor Ken
