recommends the following prayer requests for the
United States:
Government
|
Ask God to grant wisdom, discernment, and
boldness to those who serve in authority over us, from city council
members at the local level to the president of the United States and
other national figures. This group also includes appointed
officials such as
judges, cabinet members, and agency heads, as well as the men and women
in the military. We also need to remember major business leaders
who have the power to feed the poor and clothe the naked: Lee
Scott
(Wal-Mart), Jim Cantalupo (McDonald's), Mike Eskew (UPS), Bill Ford
(Ford
Motor Co.), Rick Wagoner (GM), Sam Palmisano (IBM), Jeff Immelt (GE),
Bob Ulrich (Target), Bob Nardelli (Home Depot), Joe Pichler (Kroger).
|
Media
|
Ask God for journalists who
are fair and honest and for entertainers who conduct themselves in a
responsible manner. Pray also for Christian individuals in the
news
and entertainment industries, asking the Lord to grant them strength
and perseverance as they endeavor to let their lights shine in what is
often a dark and hostile environment.
|
Education
|
Pray that our schools will get back to
basics when it comes to educating our children, instilling the leaders
of tomorrow with a respect for the Judeo-Christian values upon which
our nation was founded.
|
Church
|
Ask God to grant us the wisdom and vision to
make the church a vessel for healing and revival in America, as well as
the means by which individuals and communities are impacted with the
love of Christ.
|
Family
|
Pray for the institution of
the family as a whole and for individual families within our circle
of influence.
