Read Zechariah 5-7 and then join us in prayer:

Our Father,

Through the prophet Zechariah You asked Your people to show mercy and compassion to others including widows, the fatherless, strangers and the poor. Your Son Jesus taught the same thing and even counseled believers to love and pray for their enemies.

Father, help us to show mercy, compassion, and love to everyone we come in contact with. Let us sow peace rather than division and be agents of healing and forgiveness rather than pursuing others with hate and in revenge.

In Jesus name, Amen.

Read Zechariah 4 and then join us in prayer:

Our Father,

Your counsel spoken to Zerubbabel is also good for us today:

“Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the Lord of hosts.”

And we should never despise any small beginnings that bring us closer to You.

We ask for Your Spirit to help us in all we do; particularly in all we do in Your service and in the ministry to others in Your name. Nothing we do in our own power, might , and will can be a lasting blessing for others and even for us in this life or the life to come.

May we be like Your Son Jesus and only do what we see You doing and continue to respond to Your Spirit and counsel in all that we do; sowing love, peace, joy, and healing wherever we go.

In Jesus name, Amen.

Read Zechariah 3 and then join us in prayer:

Our Father,

Like Joshua in Zechariah’s day, we are a brand plucked from the fire by Your Grace. You have taken our iniquity and filthy garments away because of our faith in Your Son Jesus. Who is the prophetic stone, Zechariah prophesied about, that removes sin and iniquity in one day.

Thank You Father for the sacrifice of Your Son that cleansed us and brings blessings and good changes to our lives daily through the continuing counsel of Your Holy Spirit.

We look for that day when Jesus comes again and the land of Israel and the entire world will also be changed for the better in one day; bringing peace, prosperity, and good health for all.

Come Lord Jesus, Come, Amen.

Read Zechariah 2 and then join us in prayer:

Our Father,

Through the prophet Zechariah You proclaimed that You would choose Jerusalem and Judah once more and gather the Jews from wherever they had been scattered and they would become a nation once more under Your protection. This began to be  fulfilled again in 1948.

The prophecy also proclaimed:

And many nations shall be joined to the Lord in that day, and shall be my people;

Lord we are looking for that Word to be fulfilled in our day. Let the Good News of Your Son and Kingdom be preached in all the world. Let this be the day when the prophecy of Joel is completely fulfilled and Your Spirit is poured upon all flesh. Let millions from every nation come and worship You and Your Son Jesus in this generation and become Your people in this life and the eternal life to come.

In Jesus name, Amen.

Read Zechariah 1 and then join us in prayer:

Our Father,

We live in a time similar to Zechariah when the horses of war, plague, and famine are once more walking to and fro on the earth bringing death and fear among many. In the midst of it all You proclaimed through the prophet Zechariah:

Thus saith the Lord of hosts; Turn ye unto me, saith the Lord of hosts, and I will turn unto you, saith the Lord of hosts.

This is a good time to respond to those words and seek You once more in prayer and in deed.

You have promised in Your word that if we turned to You, You would turn to us and support us in our time of trouble and need. Our only real hope in this life and the life to come is in You and the Good News of Your Son Jesus and Your Kingdom. May Your Kingdom come and Your will be done in our midst and in our nation, our cities, and in our families.

We pray for healing, for signs and wonders, and for miracles and revival to come to our land; and for Your Good News to be demonstrated all around the world in the middle of this time of trouble. 

In Jesus name, Amen.

Read Nahum 2-3 and then join us in prayer:

Our Father,

Through the prophet Nahum You declared judgment and destruction upon the ancient city of Nineveh and the Assyrian empire. The Assyrians were notorious for attacking and destroying cities; for killing men, women, and children while taking everything of value, destroying what was left, and for enslaving and deporting the survivors.

In the 2nd and 3rd chapter of Nahum You proclaimed that the Assyrians and particularly the Ninevites would experience the same kind of horror that they had perpetrated upon others and History records that they were destroyed never to rise again.

Lord, we pray for our own nation that we would always champion justice and mercy; peace rather than war among the nations. We pray for our leaders that they would be slow to anger like You are and patient with other nations rather than quick to render a heated response.

Lord we are praying for a spiritual awakening in our nation; we want to see love and concern for ones neighbor, justice, unity, and peace under Your Son Jesus to prevail among our people once more, rather than the divisions we are now experiencing.

In Jesus name, Amen.

Read Nahum 1 and then join us in prayer:

Our Father,

Thank You for being slow to anger and a stronghold and refuge in times of trouble for those who trust in You. You are good and only want good tidings, blessings, and peace to come our way.

We live in uncertain times when folks around the world are fearful and concerned about frightening diseases and the economy. In our own land we are facing political division among our leaders and a media that has a hard time being impartial and telling the whole truth regardless.

We pray for those of good will in America and for those who trust in You to stand up for what is best for all and sow love and peace rather hate and division. We want Your help in remembering the teaching of Your Son Jesus who taught us to pray and want the best even for our enemies.

In Jesus name, Amen.

Read Hosea 13-14 and then join us in prayer:

Our Father,

You are the only God and Your Son Jesus is the only one who can save us in this life and the one to come. By faith in him we are redeemed from the grave and death brings us into an eternal life in Your Kingdom where there is no sickness, hunger, war, or death.

Some who consider themselves to be wise in this generation say there is no God but those who are really wise continue to worship You and believe in Your teaching and walk therein; finding an enduring happiness and love that comes only through a relationship with You.

So many in our nation are looking for love in all the wrong places; seeking peace where it never can be found. We continue to pray for a new spiritual awakening in this land that everyone will come to know the truth and be set free in the light of Your wisdom and find the best way of life possible for now and for all time.

In Jesus name we pray, Amen.

Read Hosea 11-12 and then join us in prayer:

Our Father,

We would like to see our entire nation turn once more to you; we seek mercy and blessing, peace and miracles rather than judgment. We want to experience revival and see Your Holy Spirit roar like a lion across the face of America from sea to shining see.

We seek unity under the name of Your Son Jesus; we want the divisions that we experience now in this country to be resolved in Love that only You can bring to us through Your Holy Spirit. Come Holy Spirit, fill our neighborhoods, cities, states and entire nation with Your peace, mercy, and love.

In Jesus name, Amen.

Read Hosea 9-10 and then join us in prayer:

Our Father,

Through the prophet Hosea You counseled the nation of Israel to:

¹² Sow to yourselves in righteousness, reap in mercy; break up your fallow ground: for it is time to seek the Lord, till he come and rain righteousness upon you.

We are praying for our own nation, seeking mercy; praying and calling for all Christians to stand up and seek Your help that comes through the counsel of Your Word and Holy Spirit.

We want Your help to break up the fallow unbelieving ground of our culture; we can’t do this in our own strength, we seek Your sovereign help. Please let Your Spirit fall upon our nation once more like rain; we want to see revival and new spiritual awakening in America.

In Jesus name, Amen.
