Help Us Reach Our Nation for Prayer



We want to openly share our needs and keep you informed about the status of this ministry. Since 2001, this ministry has been reaching millions of Americans with the help of God’s people, who have graciously underwritten the daily expenses of the prayer team. Every gift, no matter the size, is of great help. We invite you to prayerfully consider helping us meet our monthly budgeted need with a gift today.

Thank you for partnering with us in prayer.

Jim Bolthouse

QUICK NAVIGATION

  • Friday, June 5

    President Donald Trump is visiting Chippewa County, Wisconsin, today, to attend a roundtable and give an address.

    White House Regional Press Secretary Liz Huston stated, “President Trump will return to the Badger State on Friday to highlight his strong support for Wisconsin’s farmers – delivering lower input costs, new trade markets, less red tape, a stronger farm safety net, a doubled death tax exemption, no taxes on rural property loan interest, and new Rural Opportunity Zones.”

    Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. visited Elk Mound, Wisconsin, earlier this week for a round table to support farmers and promote nutrition and rural healthcare.

    As the Lord Leads, Pray with Us…

    • For the Lord’s protection over President Trump as he travels to and from Wisconsin.
    • For the president to receive God’s wisdom as he addresses the nation’s food supply and the economy.
    • For Secretary Kennedy to be led by the Lord as he seeks to improve public health and nutrition.

Vantage Point Devotional
  • The Hour of Decision

    Come, let us return to the Lord, for he has torn us, that he may heal us, he has struck us down, and he will bind us up. – Hosea 6:1


    First broadcast in 1950 by the American Broadcasting Company, the Hour of Decision was a weekly radio program produced by the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association. The hour-long program was hosted by Cliff Barrows. Thirty minutes of it was devoted to music and the remainder to the preaching of Reverend Graham. Its title was repeated at the end of each program with a call to come to Jesus for salvation.

    Today, America may well be at an hour of decision of its own. Today’s verse comes from a passage in which Hosea used the metaphor of adultery to describe the people of Israel seeking satisfaction in something other than God. This prophet shared God’s call to the Northern Kingdom and pointed toward the future of that nation when the Lord would heal them. Although they would be torn asunder, He would bind them up. But the warning is that God will judge any nation whose people cast His Word aside.

    The Lord has been merciful to this nation throughout its existence. However, while God is compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, abounding in loving-kindness (Psalm 103:8), He is also just and holy. The country may be restored from its unrighteousness one person at a time. Pray for those in public office who have not yet had their hour of decision to see the error of their ways and turn to the Lord. He is ready to pardon and restore.

    Today’s Verse: Hosea 6:1

    Come, let us return to the Lord;
        for he has torn us, that he may heal us;
        he has struck us down, and he will bind us up.

    Recommended for further reading: Psalm 103:1-14

    Bless the Lord, O my soul,
        and all that is within me,
        bless his holy name!
    Bless the Lord, O my soul,
        and forget not all his benefits,
    who forgives all your iniquity,
        who heals all your diseases,
    who redeems your life from the pit,
        who crowns you with steadfast love and mercy,
    who satisfies you with good
        so that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s.
    The Lord works righteousness
        and justice for all who are oppressed.
    He made known his ways to Moses,
        his acts to the people of Israel.
    The Lord is merciful and gracious,
        slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love.
    He will not always chide,
        nor will he keep his anger forever.
    10 He does not deal with us according to our sins,
        nor repay us according to our iniquities.
    11 For as high as the heavens are above the earth,
        so great is his steadfast love toward those who fear him;
    12 as far as the east is from the west,
        so far does he remove our transgressions from us.
    13 As a father shows compassion to his children,
        so the Lord shows compassion to those who fear him.
    14 For he knows our frame;
        he remembers that we are dust.
