    VERSE OF THE WEEK

    Again Jesus spoke to them, saying, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.” – John 8:12

    Shine His Light!

    A tactical flashlight has been created with a beam that could be seen five nautical miles away (5.75 miles).  Light from lighthouses is visible over 20 miles away. A study conducted by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology said the human eye could see the light of a candle 10 miles away, appearing as bright as a star. If you are in spiritual darkness, Jesus is the only One who can illuminate your soul. And, just as He is the Light of the world, He has called you to also be light to those in your sphere. How far does your light shine? Draw nearer to the Lord as you pray for the things that concern you, and as you intercede for the nation and those in positions of authority. Your light will gleam ever brighter as you reflect the light of Jesus.

AMERICA’S HISTORY OF FAITH AND PRAYER

  • Issue 638 – Faith and Prayer History

    “To preserve our blessed land we must look to God. … It is time to realize that we need God more than He needs us. … We also have His promise that we could take to heart with regard to our Country, that ‘if my people, who are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.‘ …
    The time has come to turn to God and reassert our trust in Him for the healing of America. … Our country is in need of and ready for a spiritual renewal. Today, we utter no prayer more fervently than the ancient prayer for peace on Earth.“

    – President Ronald Reagan, February 6, 1986

  • Issue 638 – National Prayer Needs

    Additional National Prayer Needs

    Pray for America’s Military

    The 11th Army Airborne Division, headquartered at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson, Alaska, will begin to address challenges discovered during recent Arctic Circle multinational training exercises. The branch will consider equipment and procedural improvements after encountering the obstacles presented by 80-degree temperature swings, high winds, and regular sub-zero conditions.

    Pray for the commanders of various American military divisions as they train and examine the upgrades needed to improve operations.

    PRAY FOR AN END TO THE WAR IN UKRAINE

    National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan announced that the U.S. is providing an additional $300 million in military aid to Ukraine. The “ad hoc” package is the 55th presidential drawdown and is being made through U.S. Army procurement savings. The move comes after U.S. intelligence officials assessed that Russia could begin to take the upper hand in the war with Ukraine if additional aid were not supplied.

    Pray for the president and U.S. military and intelligence officials as they continue to evaluate the war and send aid to Ukraine.

    Pray for AMERICA’S RELATIONSHIP WITH ISRAEL

    Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated that President Biden had the wrong take on the situation after the U.S. president claimed that the prime minister was “hurting Israel more than helping Israel” in the war against Hamas. The prime minister stated, “If he meant by that, that I’m pursuing private policies against the wish of the majority of Israelis, and that this is hurting the interests of Israel then he’s wrong on both counts.”

    Pray for U.S. and Israeli officials as they seek to gain the release of the remaining hostages held by Hamas.

    Pray for AMERICA’S HEALTH AND WELL-BEING

    The Food and Drug Administration issued an alert regarding ground cinnamon products sold at discount stores containing elevated levels of lead. The retailers Family Dollar and Dollar Tree have removed the products from their shelves, and the FDA advised consumers to throw away the affected brands.

    For federal health officials as they seek to ensure public health and safety.

    Pray for AMERICA’S ECONOMY

    The Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that the Consumer Price Index rose 0.4% in February, up 3.2% from the previous year. The Federal Reserve is expected to continue to assess the economy, holding off on any interest rate changes until the summer.

    Pray for U.S. economists and officials as they assess the status of inflation and the cost of living.

    Pray for Needs Across the States

    West Virginia’s secretary of state has been committed to election integrity, cleaning up the state’s voter rolls and eliminating the relationship the state had with partisan voter roll groups. A candidate for governor, the secretary of state has spoken in support of the American Confidence in Elections Act, which would implement election reforms and protect political speech.

    Arkansas Governor Sarah Sanders announced that the state is going to require state IDs to reflect the sex of individuals as stated on their birth certificates. This policy rescinds the previous allowance of an “X” designation on IDs rather than male or female.

    Pray for state officials as they set policies for their states and address their residents’ concerns. 

    Pray for America’s Faith Community

    “Our commitment to Jesus Christ is an expression of allegiance. … The way that the Word of God searches us is in order to reveal things about us and to show us Jesus. … Don’t miss this day. Make sure that the things that God has spoken to you about you take seriously and that the aspirations, the confessions are dealt with in the privacy of your own heart and your own life and in your own home.“ – Alistair Begg, Truth for Life, March 2024
