Feeling Overwhelmed?
Dear Friends, Are you feeling overwhelmed by all that’s been going on in our country and the world? That’s why I’ve been posting prayers for America, to give us some peace and hope when we’re overwhelmed by it all. Well, my book, Pursuing Prayer for America – 21 Battle Cries for Our Nation is finally…
A Labor Day Prayer
It’s another Labor Day weekend to celebrate the American worker. Labor Day also signals the end of summer with, ironically, an extra day off from our labor. But let’s not take a day off from prayer, even though it can sometimes feel laborious and tedious. Perhaps you’ve felt this way as I have at times.…
Lord, Heal Our Land!
My heart is heavy about the state of our country and world. Is yours? I feel deeply compelled to write about it and pray for God to heal our land, and I hope I can make some sense of our world today and how to get our nation back. I hope you’ll pray with me…
Never Give Up!
Jesus told us in Luke 18:1, “Always pray, and never give up” (NLT). Other versions say …become discouraged (HCSB), or …lose heart (NKJV), or …keep praying until the answer comes (TLB). This is how Jesus began His parable about a widow who kept going to a certain judge asking for justice against her enemy. This…
God Bless the USA
Happy Independence Day, Friends! As I listened to the song, “God Bless the USA,” the other day (which always brings tears to my eyes), these words came to me. It is my hope it stirs us up to more prayer for America. And I’d love to have you pray with me at the end. Here…
Only God Knows
“When given the choice between being right and being kind, choose kind.” (A Dr. Wayne W. Dyer quote used in the movie Wonder) In the book, The Boy, the Mole, the Fox, and the Horse, the mole asks the boy, “What do you want to be when you grow up?” The boy thinks for a…
We Will Remember
What do you think of when you hear the number 1.25 million? It’s a substantial number, but more significant is the fact that 1.25 million people believed in America so deeply they were willing to die for Her. And so we remember. For example, we will remember that: Over 7,000 U.S. troops have died in…
Let’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…
Why 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…
What 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…
