Hi Friends and Prayer Partners, Just checking in to see how your fasting is going. One more day. Just want to encourage you to keep going and keep praying for America, even when our three-day fast is done. I thought I would share a fasting prayer for America with you from my book, Pursuing Prayer…
Read MoreWhy Pray with Fasting?
The fact that we haven’t heard of a national call to prayer and fasting lately tells us something about our nation. It tells us how badly we need to pray with fasting. How far we have drifted from this vital practice and God’s commandments. Our nation has become Godless. So why would someone want to…
Read MoreCall 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.

Read MoreTen Ways We Can Pray for the President
Can you imagine being President of the United States of America? What an incredible feat, one with much scrutiny and criticism.

Read MoreNever 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…

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…
