Prayers for Our Community, Our Nation and Our World

We can offer specific daily prayers for our community, nation and world. Between Monday, May 31 and Sunday, June 6, we'll lay before God the needs listed below.

• 
  Monday - That we remember those who died in service to their country.
• Tuesday - That artists and entertainers avoid debauchery, pornography, perversion, and drunkenness in their craft.
• Wednesday - That the racial, ethnic, religious, and political divisions within the United States be healed.
• Thursday - That Americans reject the politics of division and hatred and join together as we work to solve the problems we face.
• Friday - That we focus on containing COVID-19.
• Saturday - That the body of Christ in America would fervently pray for our nation and its leaders.
• Sunday - That people put the needs of others before their own wants.
