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.

Pray for focus during finals and safety as we drive home for the holiday season.
A seven-year-old boy Bangladeshi boy was brutally attacked, beat, and cut open by a gang of four men. Although the boy recovered, he is still afraid to leave the house at night, has nightmares, and continues to carry his scars as a reminder of the attack.
Please pray that this boy will find peace, and that he will find security in God and his family. Pray that he can overcome this experience instead of letting it rule his life.
One family in Syria has been living underground for four months because of the strikes and unrest of their country. To escape the explosions, the family lives in the chamber despite the lack of fresh air or sunlight.
Pray for this family, but also pray for the country of Syria. Pray that peace will come to this country and that the people can feel safe again.
A West Point cadet, Blake Page claims that students participating in religious activities were treated above those who didn’t. Page expressed that he was forced to pray and discriminated against because he was nonreligious.
Pray that our military officers gain wisdom and understanding towards all cadets. Pray that Page’s encounter with forced religion doesn’t deter him from religion all together.
