Listen to the World, Listen to the King

And whatever you ask in prayer, you will receive, if you have faith.” Matthew 21:22 ESV.

God calls us to speak to Him through prayer, providing a foundation for a closer relationship with our creator. Every Thursday I will post world and national events for you to pray for. By praying for others around us, not only do we acknowledge their need, but also acknowledge our need for Christ to come into our lives.

Continue prayers for victims of Hurricane Sandy.
Yesterday Yoselyn Ortega, a NY nanny was found not guilty of the charges of killing two of the children she took care of. Lucia Krim, 6, and Leo Krim, 2, were found stabbed to death in their home in the care of Ortega. When the children’s mother returned home, she found her children dead and Ortega stabbing herself. Ortega is said to be going through psychological evaluation.
Pray for Lucia and Leo’s parents and family through this hard time. Also, pray that Ortega can become accountable for her actions and seek out forgiveness.
Lindsay Lohan has been arrested yet again. After being involved in a nightclub fight, Lohan was taken into police custody today, likely to face criminal charges.
Pray that Lindsay is able to find guidance and direction in her life. Also, pray that she is able to find a support system that will help her become accountable for her actions.
Yesterday seven Coptic Egyptians were sentenced to death for connections to an anti-Islamic film. The film negatively portrays the Prophet Mohammad.
Pray for the families of those killed and also pray that the Egyptian government can give their people more freedoms.
