Call to Prayer for America
Friends, Has anyone heard of a call to prayer and fasting lately for America? I’m not talking about a day of prayer, or certain churches doing their own prayer events, but a national call to prayer for America, with fasting. I haven’t heard of anything. If I’ve missed something, please let me know. I know…
Read MoreThe Most Important Thing
Greetings, Friends! It’s a beautiful but busy season. Our schedule and our mind is often full. We can get distracted during the holiday season and neglect the most important thing, when perhaps we need it the most. Sometimes it’s hard to sit still to pray, let alone even to think of what to pray. But…

The election is finally over. I don’t know about you, but I’m emotionally exhausted. We prayed hard, and some got what they prayed for, some did not. That’s why I write today, to encourage you, whichever you are. Don’t stop trusting God now! As my son-in-law reminded me: Put not your trust in princes, in…

Read MoreLet’s Pray for America!
For the National Day of Prayer this week, let’s just pray for America. Here’s a scriptural prayer we can pray today and any day. It’s so vital that we keep praying. Remember, it won’t be our leaders who will save America (although they need our prayers too)–it will be the God of Heaven’s Armies, Creator…
Read MoreWhy Pray Continually?
Why pray continually? Doesn’t God hear our prayer the first time? Why do we sometimes have to pray the same thing over and over and over? We walk in a dangerous place. Sometimes deceptively beautiful, but the war between good and evil rages on because the enemy (satan) is relentless. You may be facing a…
Read MoreWhat if?
What if God really is the missing link that will keep America from falling apart? What if our Christianity has been the reason for our blessings (Psalm 33:12)? What if walking away from God and the Bible is to our demise? What if we returned to our Christian roots? Some say we shouldn’t say things…
