National Day of Prayer – 1st Thursday in May
“…The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much.” James 5:16
Our prayers invite God to bring His goodness and glory into our circumstances, relationships, communities, concerns, crises, and country. He avails His answers when we humble ourselves in the acknowledgement that we need Him and He is able to do exceedingly and abundantly beyond all we could ever ask, imagine, or accomplish in our own understanding and strength. As we pour out our hearts in sincere, faith-filled prayer in the right and righteous condition of Christ’s authority and affection in our hearts, we watch with great anticipation for the MUCH of God to prevail.
So, what much-availing, history-making, heart-drawing, stronghold-destroying, soul-saving, state-shifting, Country-changing, God-glorifying prayers will you be praying on The National Day of Prayer? We encourage you to ponder this, but let’s get started today!
Will you please pray with me now?
Lord Jesus, we need You. I need You. I am nothing without you but with God nothing is impossible and so we pour our hearts out to You now for our neighbors and nation, for Your Kingdom come and Your will be done –not any personal agendas or the enemy’s schemes but Your great will, Your divine design and destiny for America and every person who calls her their home. Tear down the strongholds that have disguised themselves as comfort or even compassion and pull back the scales from our eyes and the darkness of our hearts to see You as the One and Only Way, Truth, and the Life. Draw every voice to cry out that “Jesus is Lord!” Soften hard hearts and hard heads to hear and receive Your word and love. Bring Your people, Your Church, back to Your Word and to live out Your ways unashamedly without compromise, no pride that thinks we know better than the One who created the universe. Humble us to remember that we ought to obey and fear God over the pressure and popularity of culture and man. Open our ears to realize and confess to You when we have called good evil and evil good. We confess our sin to You and fully receive Your forgiveness so that we can come to You on this first Thursday in May and every day, to “Pray fervently in Righteousness and Avail Much!” In the powerful, loving, sovereign and supreme name of Jesus we pray, Amen!
Serving Him with Gladness, Pastor Larry
