Arise & shine; please pray for the following!

AWAKENING
Give thanks for all the Lord is AWAKENING IN YOU!! There is power in His blood and the name of Jesus Christ. May others experience the goodness of this truth and have an encounter with the Living God in this season! Pray for our local and global churches; for our pastors to stand firmly on the Word of God.

AMERICA
Pray for the leaders of our nation to stand firm on God’s Word. Give thanks we have leaders that are in the Palm of His Hand! Isaiah 41:13 May they call upon Him for wisdom.  May they give Him thanks for the peace and order that He brings.  Give thanks for God fearing men and women serving in these positions. 

PERSECUTED BELIEVERS
We lift up our brothers & sisters & those yet to come that they may know He is present in their midst and hears their prayers.  Let us pray that even in the midst of dire circumstances and even in the midst of severe threats and actions of death they will have the grace to STAND NO MATTER WHAT and not forsake Jesus Yeshua Isa – Son of the Living God.  Lift up where ISIS (or affiliate) is controlling in places like Nigeria, Middle East and Algeria, etc.

ISRAEL
Lift up Israel and individuals within the country (Jews & Arabs alike). Pray for the peace of Jerusalem. May those who love you prosper, Psalm 122:6, Pray that Israelis will move forward with the leader that the Lord appoints. May there be peace.

Special Prayer Request!!

•  Pray for divine protection over our nation during the electoral process. Pray for a leader who will ultimately allow us to “lead peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness” (1 Tim. 2:2). Scripture says “For lack of guidance a nation falls, but victory is won through many advisors” (Prov. 11:14). Remember the fallen soldiers on Memorial Day.

•  Let us be ever mindful of our brothers and sisters around the world who are discriminated against, slandered, unjustly accused, arrested, imprisoned, beaten, exiled or killed. They need us to stand with them in prayer as they suffer in your name. God of all comfort, for those who are tortured both in body and mind, give them the grace to endure their suffering. (Romans 15:5-6, 2 Thessalonians 1:4-5, 11-12).

•  Let’s pray for great awakening!... Not just here, but the entire world.
