Harvest Church Prayer Guide
May 7, 2020
The National Day of Prayer is an annual observance held on the first Thursday of May, inviting people of faith to pray for the nation. It stands as a call for us to humbly come before God, seeking His guidance for our leaders and His grace upon us as a people. Prayer is as important to our nation today… as it ever has been.
Pray and see where your hearts leads you.
Bible Verses to Reflect on…
Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord, the people He chose for His inheritance.
~~ Psalm 33:12
I tell you that if two of you on earth agree about anything you ask for, it will be done for you by My Father in heaven. For where two or three come together in My name, there am I with them.
~~ Matthew 18:19-20
Then Jesus told His disciples…that they should always pray and not give up.
~~ Luke 18:1
Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
~~ Philippians 4:6-7
I urge, then, first of all, that requests, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for everyone-
for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness. This is good, and pleases God our Savior, who wants all men to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth. ~~ 1 Timothy 2:1-4
If My people, who are called by My name, will humble themselves and pray and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land. ~~ 2 Chronicles 7:14
