Pray for America
EXCITING ANNOUNCEMENT: On national live TV, we just announced our new Mission 250: Honoring 250 Heroes for America's 250th. Learn more in the next edition!
In America right now, we hear lots of talk. But what we really need to do is talk with and listen to God through prayer. When we suffer and when we win, we must praise God and keep on praying without forgetting on Whom we rely. (Amen?)
Pray for America. Many people say it. Some forget to do it. We must be pray-ers: We must literally pray for our country to not be preyed upon by the enemy both within and without.
We need God's Word to be applied and not just utilized when it's convenient. We need repentance, acceptance of Christ, and healing of our country after so many enemies have sought harm of our country, leaders, and military. We need God.
We live in a land of freedom and possibilities. At the heart of our country, we have many reasons to give thanks. We live in peace and safety thanks to our nation's heroes. But our country is also facing many heartbreaking issues and events. Our country's ultimate hope remains in God Himself –not a leader. Not government. Not perfect legislation. But in God and His Word.
No leader or government agency and no list of laws can solve the root of all of our problems because of the root of our problems is ultimately sin. With that said, Jesus Christ is our One True Hope.
We need to turn to Jesus now. As a nation, we need to repent from our sinful ways and accept Jesus as Savior and Lord. That is the only way our country will experience true, positive change –one heart at a time turning to Christ. (Most importantly, that is the one way to spend eternity in heaven with Him.)
If you were to die today, do you know for sure that you would be in heaven? You do not have to wonder. You can accept Jesus Christ now. He paid the price for you. Click here to learn more now.
Please read on to learn more about how to pray for America. We have hope because Jesus is Victor!

A Prayer for America
Join Dr. David Jeremiah in praying for America to experience true unity as one nation under God:
Dear Father,
Living in uncertain times, You are a certain God.Seeing turmoil all around us, You are the peace within us.
And though the future may seem dim, You are the Light that illuminates our path forward! Make us one nation under God! May we remember the high cost that was paid to live in one nation, a nation under God. May we not be fractured by politics or pettiness, but stand together as an indivisible people, ready to face the challenges of our future. May we graciously live within the freedom and liberty endowed to us by our Creator. And may we seek justice for all - no matter their race, color, or creed.
Make us one nation under God! Though imperfect, let us become a more perfect union.Sometimes divided, let us learn to live indivisibly.And at times ungrateful, let we, the people, be grateful for life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
In You, God, we trust to heal the wounds of our past, give us strength to endure the trials of today, and provide guidance to live together in a more peaceful tomorrow.Make us one nation under God!
May Your Word direct us,Your promises keep us, Your power protect us, And your purpose, restore us.May our courage propel us,Love define us,Humility constrain us, And faith unite us.Make us one nation under God.
Father, we are blessed beyond measure.Thankful beyond words.And hopeful beyond imagination.Make us one nation under God. Amen.

How To Pray for America
By Dr. Adrian Rogers
This God-blessed America of ours is at a crossroads. Back in the year 2000, we had an election followed by a 36-day ordeal, and we found out then that our nation is divided by an almost 50-50 split. And then came Sept. 11, 2001, when we found out our nation was under assault by a deadly, cruel and merciless enemy—a clash of civilizations and world values. I say again, we are at a crossroads, a crisis, and we dare not be lackadaisical.
Instead, let’s talk seriously about prayer for America—a revival prayer. Our greatest resource is prayer. Our only hope is God. Do you believe that? I hope you believe that with all of your heart.
We read in Daniel 9 that God’s people had been taken captive by the Babylonians. And Daniel now is asking the Lord for deliverance. You say, “What does that have to do with America?” America has been taken captive by the world, the flesh and the devil. We need a national, moral and spiritual revival, and without that there is no hope. Only prayer can hold back the judgment of God. The raging waters of God’s wrath are furiously beating upon the dam of His mercy. Now God is a merciful God, but if we do not pray, we are going to get exactly what we deserve.
So, what kind of prayer is it that God answers? First, we are to pray with serious concentration. Daniel 9:3 says, “Then I set my face toward the Lord God.” Have you ever set your face? Ever said, “Dear God, I’m going to pray with every inch, every ounce, every nerve, every sinew?”
Sure, we pray, but with little effect. It’s not the arithmetic of our prayers, as in how many. It’s not how eloquent or how long or how sweet or how argumentative our prayers. Friend, it is the faith and fervency of our prayers.
“Do you know what most of us want? We want revival so that we can return to our own ways, so we can go back again one more time, once God gets us out of our difficulty. Instead, we should want … the removal of guilt and the glory of God. That is revival—not for America’s sake, but for the glory of God.”
When we talk about our nation, we must start with God’s house. Judgment must begin at the house of God. We as a church must repent—of playing church, of praying without fasting, of witnessing without tears, of giving without sacrifice. Is it any wonder that we sow without reaping? We need God’s mercy, and prayer is the order of the day. But not just any prayer. Prayer and fasting. Does that seem odd to you? Fanatical? That we in this 21st century should pray and fast? In Matthew 6:16, Jesus says, “Moreover, when you fast, do not be like the hypocrites, with a sad countenance. For they disfigure their faces that they may appear to men to be fasting. Assuredly, I say to you, they have their reward.” Our Lord didn’t say, “If you fast,” He says, “When you fast.”
Leonard Ravenhill said, “The church has gone from its upper room with its fire, to its supper room with its smoke.” Now, I’m not against fellowships. Our Lord is constantly saying to His children, “Come and dine.” But the Bible also calls for fasting. We are to pray and fast. And in so doing, pray and fast for America, and for the church. What can fasting do? Rightly practiced, fasting can strengthen your prayer life, but it can also turn back judgment.
In Jonah 3:5, we read: “So the people of Nineveh believed God, proclaimed a fast, and put on sackcloth, from the greatest to the least of them.” And in verse 10, “Then God saw their works, that they turned from their evil way; and God relented from the disaster that He had said He would bring upon them, and He did not do it.”
God changed His mind. Nineveh was ripe for judgment. Put this in your heart and mind: God would rather show mercy than judgment. God wants to forgive. Have we crossed a line in America? Is it too late for our nation? No, absolutely not. In Jeremiah 18:7-8, the Lord says: “The instant I speak concerning a nation and concerning a kingdom, to pluck up, to pull down, and to destroy it, if that nation against whom I have spoken turns from its evil, I will relent of the disaster that I thought to bring upon it.”
Friend, we are in a cosmic battle and our weapon is prayer. I love what Bible teacher Ron Dunn had to say about prayer: “Prayer is like a missile. It can fly at the speed of thought. It can reach any target anywhere, and there is no anti-ballistic missile that can shoot it down.”
In Daniel we see a model of how confessional prayer moves the heart of God. Daniel 9:20 says, “Now while I was speaking, praying, and confessing my sin and the sin of my people Israel, and presenting my supplication before the Lord my God for the holy mountain of my God.”
Daniel confessed his personal sin and he confessed national sin. In America, there is much to confess. First of all, we must confess greed. We are a materialistic nation. We know more about Wall Street and Madison Avenue than about the Prophet Daniel. Also, we need to confess our neglect of the poor; our racism, which has divided our country. We need to confess our sexual immorality; our killing of the unborn; our godless humanism that pervades our schools.
Do you know what most of us want? We want revival so that we can return to our own ways, so we can go back again one more time, once God gets us out of our difficulty. Instead, we should want a burning in our hearts for the glory of God. We should want God to do something that cannot be explained by technology, personality, propaganda or persuasion. We should want the removal of guilt and the glory of God. That is revival—not for America’s sake, but for the glory of God.
Are you on praying ground? It is prayer time in America. James 5:16 says, “The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much.” Thank God for that. Would you pray with me? “O God, send revival, for Your glory; let it begin in me. Then Lord, let it move into my family and into my class, into my church, into my city, and throughout this world.” Amen. ©2020 Love Worth Finding Ministries Inc.

Pray for Texas Communities in the Aftermath of Tragedy
Friends,
The heartbreaking tragedy at Camp Mystic in Texas is truly beyond words. We think of Romans 8:26 which says, "In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us through."
We urge you to pray for the victims, families who have lost loved ones, first responders, and our leaders at this devastating time. If you are able, please donate to efforts on the ground like Samaritan's Purse or the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association. We know that there are many other worthy efforts helping as well. Please give as you are so led. And may we all remember that Christ will return to make things right in the end when death will be no more. With prayers,Carrie and Stacie
Here is a message from the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association: Will you pray for the people of central Texas, where catastrophic flooding has taken the lives of more than 90 people?
Crisis-trained chaplains with the Billy Graham Rapid Response Team are ministering in the area after heavy rains caused flash floods over the July Fourth weekend.
The Guadalupe River rose more than 20 feet in less than an hour, washing away homes and much of Camp Mystic, where more than two dozen girls and staff lost their lives. Search efforts are underway all across the region for those who are still missing.
Please pray that many people will find comfort in the knowledge that “God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble” (Psalm 46:1, NKJV). Ask God to strengthen rescuers as they work—and lift up our chaplain teams as they offer emotional and spiritual care to broken-hearted communities.
May God bless you,The Billy Graham Evangelistic Association
From Ann Graham Lotz:
"A friend sent me this picture. It brought tears to my eyes as I remembered what Jesus said:
“Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.” Matthew 19:14
The little girls who had been at Camp Mystic…and all those who had placed their trust in Jesus…are safely Home in His arms."

How to Know Jesus
Question: How do Stacie and Carrie know they'll go to Heaven?
Answer: It's not because of what they've done or who they are. It's because Jesus lives in them. Anything good in them is because of Jesus in them. They know God and His love in a personal way. They've followed what God said in His book: the Bible. They invited Jesus to be their Savior and Lord. You, too, can know God. Yes, He really does love you!
