URGENT Call To Prayer

For weeks I've been sensing an urgent need to pray for our nation and for our leaders. Today I got a note in the mail from CBN asking for those who wanted to, to pray for our nation and the conditions of the world today. So, for the next 30 days, I will be posting a prayer request that will be sent to me in hopes that you will join with me in prayer. Today's request:

Day 1

Pray for God to protect our nation. Pray for repentance in America and ask God to supply all our needs — as individuals, as families, and as a nation.

Crisis comes in many forms. Currently we are experiencing an economic crisis and many feel the frustration and fear of the uncertainty ahead. During these times it is important to remember that only God is our source. It is easy to fall into anxiety as we see the volatility of world economic markets. But Jesus told us not to worry, but instead to trust in Him:

" Therefore I say to you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink; nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food and the body more than clothing? "Look at the birds of the air, for they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? Matthew 6:25-26, NKJV

Then Jesus gives us the key to trusting in Him in uncertain times:

"But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you. Matthew 6:33, NKJV

As we put the Lord first in our lives, in our relationships, in our finances, and in every decision, He will bless us and provide our needs – even in the most difficult of times.
