Our God is a God who answers prayer. He commands us to pray without ceasing. He waits to hear our prayers for the Church and for our communities.
Pray with faith. God promised – therefore I believe, for God cannot lie. Pray humbly. (If possible, kneel before God as you humble yourself). Pray with hope. Nothing is impossible for God. Trust in the power of the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Trust in the power of the blood of the Lord Jesus Christ. Trust the Holy Spirit to pray through you. Pray boldly, reminding God of his promises. Pray without judgment, accusation, or condemnation. Base your prayer on the love, mercy, and grace of our heavenly Father, who wants people to turn to Him, repent of their sin, receive his forgiveness, and be saved. Allow brokenness in your heart when the Holy Spirit leads you to repentance through godly sorrow for the condition of the church and the nation. Focus your prayer on God’s honour and glory, on the salvation of the lost and then only on yourself and your needs. Pray God’s word back to Him. Express your desire and longing for Jesus to be honoured in your life and in your nation.
