Today, millions across the nation will be taking time out of their daily schedules to intercede on behalf of their communities, their nation and their leaders. Each year, people gather across the nation at local community events to pray together on the National Day of Prayer. While this is wonderful, the truth is, praying for our nation can sometimes feel like we’re fighting a losing battle. 

Today, I challenge you to remember that 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐠𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐰𝐚𝐲 𝐭𝐨 𝐞𝐟𝐟𝐞𝐜𝐭 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐬 𝐢𝐧 𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐡𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐬. Pray that your home would protected, be a place of rest for your family and friends, especially those who don’t know Jesus. 

A prayer that has been hot on my lips has been for the Lord to protect my kids from evil and from false truth.

“Then if my people who are called by my name will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sins and restore their land.” (2 Chronicles‬ ‭7‬:‭14‬ ‭NLT‬‬)
