One nation under God
Why Pray?
"Prayer brings us into the presence of Almighty God. In our seasons of trial, in our times of prosperity, when we don't know where to turn, He is our answer. Scripture tells us, "Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord" (Psalm 33:12) and He is faithful to bless those who turn to him."
How to P.R.A.Y.
Praise...
"Thank God for what He has already accomplished through Jesus."
Repent...
"Confess your sins and shortcomings. Repent personally and on behalf of our nation. The Lord is quick to forgive when we come to him."
Ask...
"Ask God to reveal truth, turn our hearts back to him, and bring healing."
Yield...
"Yield to the Lord and recognize He has heard our prayers and will answer according to His will. He is waiting to provide guidance and direction!"
