Here are some things to pause and earnestly pray about during these turbulent times in America. But after praying in faith.. go do more than praying.

“Time spent in prayer will yield more than time given to work.. Prayer opens the way for God Himself to do His work in and through us.” ~ Andrew Murray

Go ahead and tweak some of these requests into your own words of faith as you like. The important thing is that we are praying to the Father in Jesus' name over these issues.

Jesus said, “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? ..But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day [is] its own trouble.” Matthew 6:25-34
Would you pray something like this.. 

No worries here. Father, thank You for this Bible command and for the encouraging promise.

Lord, You are the Prince of Peace -- please cause the rioting in the USA to cease. Please expose all those people organizing it all and bring justice. Protect and guide Your people. Thanks Jesus. Help Your Church to be the church in the realms of business, education, schooling, sports, military and financial areas. God, You've seen how much full-on rioting has been going on in different cities related to what? They say it's due to that Former Minnesota Police Officer Derek Chauvin was arrested after the Death of George Floyd. It was a horrible situation there. But now it's clear that this nightly rioting has been coordinated and funded by Liberals and George Soros again along with their evil friends. Lord God Almighty, no matter who all is behind it in the different cities, please do bring it all to a stop so that zero more people get hurt or killed. 

In this time of pandemic impact, help us to keep our eyes on Jesus...
Bring your peace into all these liberal cities filled with people you care about. Help us in this time of uncertainty and change to set aside any burden slowing us down or sin tripping us up as we strive to run the race marked out for us. Help us to fix our eyes on Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith. (Psalm 89:8; Hebrews 12:1-2) Continue with personal prayer...

Help our government leaders and top U.S. leader to rise above politics as they make those decisions affecting millions...
We need You to be our sure foundation, for sometimes we feel we are living on shifting sand. So many decisions, so much confusion, so many changes from day to day. Help our government leaders to set aside politics and turn to You.... (Isaiah 28:16; Mathew 7:26-27) Continue on with personal prayer...

Help the church to be the church in the realms of business, education, schooling, sports, military and financial areas...
Let our new life in Christ help us to be salt and light in the world. Grant favor to Your people in leadership throughout society, so that others will listen to them when they seek Your wisdom. Raise up these kinds of future leaders. (Romans 6:4; Matthew 5:13-14; James 1:5-8) Continue with personal prayer...

Sustain the medical community and first responders with Your strength...
Lord, because You are clothed with majesty and armed with strength, we ask You to extend Your strength to those on the frontlines. Grant salvation to those among them who are lost. May they know You as their fortress, their place of safety. (Psalm 93:1; 29:11; 59:17) Continue with personal prayer...

Extend mercy, for the effect of the virus on individuals and families is devastating...
Because You are full of compassion and mercy, we call to You to heal those struck down by the virus, and hold close those who have lost loved ones. Help tests and vaccines to be developed and financial aid released to breathe life into the economy. (James 5:11) Continue with personal prayer...

Grant patience and self-control to those under stress they cannot handle...
Father, You are our Protector! Extend Your protection to those who are living with people under such stress that they are losing patience and control. Many are lashing out against those they love most. Help them instead to hold back and cry out to You. (Proverbs 2:8) Continue with personal prayer...

Bring biblical revival and an authentic spiritual awakening...
Lord, use this pandemic crisis for Your glory. Renew Your people with revival and a fresh determination to live close to You. Bring spiritual awakening to the lost, for You want all to be saved, and Jesus died once for all. (Isaiah 57:15; 1 Timothy 2:3-4; 1 Peter 3:18) Continue with personal prayer... In Jesus’ name, amen.

Need prayer?

When I was 17 years old while attending Dana Hills High a believer offered to pray for me and guess what... it made a difference. Yeah, God did.. by revealing Himself to me (not in some spooky personal 3D appearance), but in a personal kinda way that was just right for me at the time.

Since that time He has graciously met so many needs of mine. And He will for you as well.  

So, what have you been going through lately? Anything you care to discuss? Are you trying hard to live the Christian life and feel tempted lately, or have you been seeking to make an impact on others for Him..and it's rebuff-city. Hey, no matter. Whether you're a believer or not...

I would love to pray for you.. for sure and earnestly ..if you don't mind.  Would be honored to.  Simply comment back (below) or just send me a private message to let me know how I can intelligently pray for you ..and I will indeed keep it private. God bless you.


You know how prayer is basically to-the-point two way communication between a human and the God who made them. It's not about putting faith in faith, or in a formula, but it does take faith in the Lord. And He loves to hear from any of us, at anytime. He is full of compassion and understands. The Bible instructs us to pray without ceasing. The fellowship-union is to remain unbroken.


Biblical faith is about a sound belief expressed to God through Christ.. plus taking the right action as He directs. It's about thanking God and letting God know what you need.

Who do you look to to meet your needs? Do you in part look to God and in part look to another? In unity, lets' ask Him together for you.. looking solely to the Lord as our Source cuz that's what on-fire Christians do and more importantly that's what He desires.
 
You know that asking Him is a rule of the Kingdom – it's God's ordained way for His kids to get good needed stuff from Him.

Even if you've gotten a "No" before, together let's ask again. God say's, "Call to Me and I will answer you, and I will tell you great and mighty things, which you do not know." (Jer. 33:3)

Faith sees what could be – it's the substance of things hoped for and faith has no back door. We can exercise our faith muscles so to speak by trusting the Lord. And God honors the faith that comes from hearing His Word and then we give Him all the glory.
