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 prayer for those affected by Hurricane Sandy; many were left homeless or had loved ones perish in the storm.
Maryland resident, Justine Jackson was found dead in a shallow grave near the Great Allegheny Passage trail. It is believed that her boyfriend, Jonathan Beal strangled and buried her. Jackson was missing for two months before her body was recovered. Beal has been found and detained.
Pray for the family and friends of Justine. Pray that they are able to support each other and get through this hard time.
Four were killed and 17 injured when a train hit a truck carrying a West Texas parade Thursday. The parade participants were saluting U.S. troops and although some were able to jump off in time, the accident was still deadly.
Pray for the victims of the accident and their loved ones.
Officials are gathering in South Korea to discuss possible restrictions on tobacco growing. Malawi in southeastern Africa is a top tobacco exporter, which worries tobacco farmers.
Pray for the officials’ wisdom during this decision making. Also, pray for these farmers, that they can rely on God through this worrisome time.
