The most powerful form of political activism is Prayer!
It is our duty as believers to vote and to communicate with those we select to make the daily decisions needed to run this great country. Political involvement is necessary and good.
But the greater authority, the greater power, lies in our prayers.
I’m asking you to commit to pray for our country and its leaders. Every Day!
Here is what you can do: Pick some hour on the clock that you are likely to see twice each day, like 7 or 8 and commit to pray for 5 minutes – 5 minutes for our country and its leaders at the top of one of those hours. The hour is not important; five minutes of prayer is. You can be flexible; you have two choices each day. You can change the time on the fly, but please pray. 1 Timothy 2:8 I will therefore that men pray everywhere, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting.
Each time you hear something upsetting, frustrating or maddening on the news, turn that passion to prayer. Pray about that issue and those who are making that decision. Fifteen or 30 seconds of earnest prayer can touch the heart of God.
Pray humbly; remember, you do not know everything. You do not know all the pressures our representatives may be feeling. Pray for courage and wisdom!
Pray for decisions that honor God and promote righteousness.
Pray for other believers and ask God to stir their hearts to pray.
Here is something else you can do. Like this page Patriot Prayer League! This page is our combined prayer journal. Use this page to record what you prayed for that day. Your entry will be guidance and encouragement to others. Tell of your prayer victories and struggles, and post encouraging comments when others post. Hebrews 10:25 Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching. We need each other. Let’s take our struggle against the enemy as an opportunity for unity and encouragement. This will strike another blow against the enemy of our souls. Don’t forget to invite your friends to join us.
You may also post your prayer insights on Twitter using this hash-tag, #ppl.
Who is with me? Let’s pray for the rebirth our country needs – one issue at a time!
Here is a good start: Pray these simple one-sentence prayers, earnestly and from your heart.
God save our Republic.
God save our President.
More later, time to pray!
