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

President

  • Sunday, June 14

    Today is President Donald Trump’s 80th birthday. The White House is celebrating the event by hosting the UFC Freedom 250 match on the South Lawn. It is the first time a professional sporting event has been held at the presidential residence.

    Secretary of State Marco Rubio said, “The White House is the people’s house. It belongs to the people of the United States. The American 250 celebration belongs to the people of the United States. For them to be able to see this event with their White House in the background as part of our celebration as a country in our 250 years, I think, is a gift to the American people.”

    The secretary added, “There are only a handful of things that bring people together in one place at one time, united by their interest in one thing. We need more of those, we need more of those forms and those settings in which we can bring people together to enjoy something together and find something in common.”

    As the Lord Leads, Pray with Us…

    • For the Lord to bless President Trump on his 80th birthday.
    • For Secretary Rubio and U.S. officials as they promote celebrations of the United States’ 250th anniversary.
    • For wisdom for the president and his advisors as they address foreign and domestic issues.
    • For God to be glorified for His grace upon this nation over its semiquincentennial history.

      O Lord my God, I cried to you for help, and you have healed me. – Psalm 30:2


    Have you ever received the horrible news from your mechanic? It can be disheartening, but some car problems are too extensive to warrant the cost of repair. In recent years, up to 27 percent of automobile collision claims in America have been deemed not worth fixing. But here is great news: that scenario can never be applied to your life!

    Most adults can look back over their lives and identify where they took a wrong turn or made a misguided decision. It may be tempting to consider those events as not being part of God’s plan. While it is never the Lord’s desire for you to do evil, there is no sin that excludes you from the love of the Lord. It is difficult for humans to comprehend, but God uses everything to reveal His character as the loving, forgiving Savior that He is. The Creator even used the first humans and their devastating choice to rebel against Him to set the stage for bringing His beautiful Son into the world.

    Is there an area of your life that feels like it is too messed up to be part of God’s good plan? Listen to this promise that the apostle Peter wrote, “The God of all grace, who has called you to his eternal glory in Christ will himself restore, confirm, strengthen, and establish you” (1 Peter 5:10). 

    It is never too late for you to experience God’s restoration in any part of your life. And, as the nation nears its 250th birthday, it is not too late for the United States to return to the Lord and receive His blessing. Pray that governing officials will seek God’s healing for the nation and make decisions that steer the country in His direction.

    Today’s Verse: Psalm 30:2

    O Lord my God, I cried to you for help,
        and you have healed me.

    Recommended for further reading: Romans 6:12-19

    12 Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, to make you obey its passions. 13 Do not present your members to sin as instruments for unrighteousness, but present yourselves to God as those who have been brought from death to life, and your members to God as instruments for righteousness. 14 For sin will have no dominion over you, since you are not under law but under grace.
    15 What then? Are we to sin because we are not under law but under grace? By no means! 16 Do you not know that if you present yourselves to anyone as obedient slaves, you are slaves of the one whom you obey, either of sin, which leads to death, or of obedience, which leads to righteousness? 17 But thanks be to God, that you who were once slaves of sin have become obedient from the heart to the standard of teaching to which you were committed, 18 and, having been set free from sin, have become slaves of righteousness. 19 I am speaking in human terms, because of your natural limitations. For just as you once presented your members as slaves to impurity and to lawlessness leading to more lawlessness, so now present your members as slaves to righteousness leading to sanctification.
