While this post was originally published on the official National Day of Prayer (5-2-2024), considering the spiritual condition of our country and the election tomorrow, it behooves us to spend time again today beseeching God on behalf of our land.
1. Pray for revival in the church.
2. Pray for regeneration of the lost.
3. Pray for real change to start today.
R ealizing His magnificence: E nshrined images must come down, V erity in hearts restored, I niquity truly abhorred. V ast His holiness beyond our reach: A lmighty God’s mercies beseech, L ive for Him Who died for us each.

R ebellion finally bends its knee, E ntangled with only one choice to be free. G race cuts sin’s cords because of His nails; E mmanuel’s love and victory prevails. N o one could make the changes He can; E vil must flee at His mighty hand. R ighteousness, judgment – these are the facts; A ll will one day bow before His great acts. T his is my prayer for the country I love: I pray for her people to seek God above. O nly in doing so can peace be found; N eglecting Him surely will bring us down.
Pray for each person in this picture to hear the gospel and believe.

Pray for an Albany elementary student who has recently been diagnosed with ADHD, for the child’s parents to have wisdom in knowing the best course of action to take in response.
Pray for the Lord to send out workers to the harvestfield of Reynosa.
Pray for workers in this factory to have an opportunity to accept the gospel in 2022.
Reynosa has a reputation of being a high-crime border town. Pray for the Lord to give local leaders wisdom to solve some of the issues, and, most importantly, that hearts would be changed through salvation.
There are several non-government organizations offering assistance for migrant families in Reynosa. Pray for protection for their workers, and, if any of them are Biblically based, that the Lord would especially bless their efforts.

Pray for the next person who plays basketball here to trust Christ as his / her personal Savior.
Children often pick up on adults’ tensions. Pray for the next group of children who play on this playground to know Jesus, and to know that He can help everything to be ok.
Leaf Rapids was developed as an experimental model for how northern towns could enjoy modern conveniences (wikipedia). Pray for workers at the Leaf Rapids Health Center to themselves be in good health spiritually, and thus minister to both the spiritual and physical needs of their patients.
Nahum 1:7

“But to the Son He says, ‘Your throne, O God, is forever and ever; a scepter of righteousness is the scepter of Your kingdom. You have loved righteousness and hated lawlessness; therefore God, Your God, has anointed you with the oil of gladness more than your companions.'”
Jude 1:24-25
“Now to Him who is able to keep you from stumbling, and to present you faultless before the presence of His glory with exceeding joy, to God our Savior, Who alone is wise, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and forever. Amen.”
Triumphant joy is an often overlooked characteristic of our great God. The word used here for gladness/joy means “exuberant, extreme joy, ecstatic delight.” And the Father anointed the Son to be the most joyful Person there is!
Notice His two specific causes of joy mentioned in these verses: the triumph of His eternal throne of righteousness, and the triumph of His presenting us faultless to the Father. He wins! When all is said and done, He wins. This can be a great source of joy to us as well when we are contemplating past and current world events: He wins! As to the second reason, it is almost unbelievable that we should bring joy to the Son, but this and other verses declare it so to be. This is an amazing reality: He wants to be with us and His work in us will succeed. What a glorious and gracious God is ours!
1. Pray for the Lord to encourage believers at this church with the truths regarding His joy, thus increasing their own joy today.
2. Pray for God’s eternal kingdom of righteousness to gain another citizen this week from Cambridge, New York, through that individual’s salvation.
3. Pray for the Son to have great joy as He looks at the lives of His children in Cambridge, seeing the Spirit’s transforming sanctification.
“The LORD has established His throne in heaven, and His kingdom rules over all.”
Daniel 2:44
“… the God of heaven will set up a kingdom which shall never be destroyed; and the kingdom shall not be left to other people;it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand forever.”
Philippians 2:10-11
“…at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth, and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.”
Our God is in charge. This truth is a two sided coin: it can produce resentment or peace in an individual’s heart, depending on that person’s relationship with the sovereign God. However, even for those who chafe against His dominion, Psalm 2 masterfully describes that such rebellion does not change Who is boss.
For children of God, knowing the King of Kings and Lord of Lords brings great peace. No challenge or limitation is outside the realm of His lordship, and He masterfully weaves even what is incomprehensible to us into His story (Rom. 8:28,31,37). Jesus used this truth to encourage His disciples on many occasions, and His words leap from Scripture to steady our souls today: “It is I, do not be afraid…In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world…Do not fear, little flock, for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom” (John 6:20,16:33, Luke 12:32). Let us therefore enter this day with peace in our souls and steel in our stride; He is sovereign!
1. This picture was taken on Partridge Island, where many tourists go to see the Partridge Island lighthouse. Pray for three individuals to acknowledge and embrace God’s sovereignty, following the advice at the end of Psalm 2: the person sitting in the picture, the person who painted the graffiti, and Patrick, the person who took the picture.
2. Saint John is known for its “reversing rapids,” caused by the Bay of Fundy’s tides colliding with the Saint John River as it comes out of a narrow gorge. It has been noted in previous days that people can deduce certain things from God from general revelation, so pray that an observer of the rapids will listen to the Holy Spirit’s stirring in his heart that there must be a God Who is sovereign over nature, and therefore has the right to rule his life (Rom. 1:20).
3. Saint John, New Brunswick, is named after John the Baptist. John the Baptist knew what it was to have faith that God is sovereign, even when he didn’t understand why the Lord did not bring immediate deliverance. Pray for Christians in Saint John to have that same kind of faith.
