A Call To Prayer: Reclaiming America

Calling all moms, calling all moms! This is a call to prayer. We need prayer warriors prepared to engage. Let's mobilize moms everywhere to put on the mighty armor of God and intercede for our nation and our people! Yes, like you, I am encouraged by the progress we made on November 2 in this historic election! But there is no time to rest. There is much work to be done! We must be laboring in prayer for America. The battle has just begun. We have reclaimed ground that had been surrendered but there are still many strongholds that must be breached and overcome.

Does this seem overwhelming to you? It often does to me. Sometimes I feel like a weary warrior instead of an overcomer who is victorious in the Lord. But as we lift up our intercessory prayers we will be renewed and strengthened by the Spirit of our Holy God. I know the demands are many, and the battles numerous ~ but we must stand firm in the Lord and endure in faith.

While there are many things of importance that require our attention daily in the earthly realm, an even greater struggle is occuring in the spiritual realm. There is a war waging in the heavenlies. And as the return of our Messiah nears, it will only intensify. This is why our prayers are needed and necessary.

Please join me in praying for America...

Forgive us, Abba Father, for the many sins we have committed individually and as a nation. Forgive us for the countless ways we have grieved you. May we become a humble people with contrite hearts. Let our hearts be softened and willing to receive your truths and your chastisement. Let us rebuild our nation and our lives upon the rock of our salvation and choose you as our cornerstone. I pray that we would be a set apart people longing to do your will! May we bring you glory and honor as we surrender our lives to you and declare you to be our Saviour and King. Let the words of our mouths adore you and sing your praises. As we abide in you, may we be filled with your Holy Spirit and bear good fruit. Help us to stand firm and endure in faith as we return to your precepts and ancient paths. Thank you Lord for your mercy, love, and grace. Amen.

Thank you for standing in the gap with me! Remember, don't go onto the battlefield unarmed. The Word of God is the sword that the Spirit gives us!

"Thus says the Lord, 'Stand by the ways and see and ask for the
ancient paths, where the good way is and walk in it, and you shall find rest for your souls.' " Jeremiah 6:16

"For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms." Ephesians 6:12

"Finally, build up your strength in union with the Lord and by means of his mighty power. Put on all the armor that God give you, so that you will be able to stand up against the Devil's evil tricks." Ephesians 6:10-11

"So put on God's armor now! Then when the evil day comes, you will be able to resist the enemy's attacks; and after fighting to the end, you will still hold your ground." Ephesians 6:13

"Do all this in prayer, asking for God's help. Pray on every occasion, as the Spirit leads. For this reason keep alert and never give up; pray always for all of God's people." Ephesians 6:18
