Praying for Unity

I’ve been faithfully leading the women’s prayer groups as the Lord has commissioned me to do. I remember last year when we were getting ready in the summertime to start our new fall semester, I told my co-leader, Peggy “The Holy Spirit is telling me that there will be a lot of things to pray about.” What an understatement!!

Since mid-March, we prayed daily Monday to Friday via teleconference. Even through the summer, we prayed once a week. Since school started, the moms in prayer group is back and now we pray twice a week. Tuesday group is for country, community and church. Thursday group is for children and schools using moms in prayer sheets. At each prayer meeting, I see the Holy Spirit leading us and using us as vessels to release prayers into the heavenly throne room.

Yesterday, 9/26 was the ‘Prayer March 2020’ in Washington DC, led by many diverse groups of Christian leaders. I liked that they focused on repentance and returning back to God. This has been my prayer for American believers for the last few years with so much tears and groaning in my prayers. I’d come out of our prayer meetings with great puffy eyes from crying so much.

Election 2020 is coming up in few weeks. The Holy Spirit is giving me a heads up to pray ahead for unity in the body of Christ. I’ve seen many relationship breakdowns from the last presidential election and it appears that this one will do much more, unless we pray forward offensively.

Only the enemy wins when family and church relationships break apart. Applying the biblical principles of love in relationships will keep us safe from the enemy’s onslaughts and tactics. I don’t think the believers of America have this discipline and self-control developed well. May our prayers minimize the damages and open believers’ eyes to the enemy’s strategies.

I’m getting battle weary. Hence this bible verse is precious to me. I’m not sure who is reading my personal journal but please pray for me. Pray for all Christian leaders. Yesterday as I was watching Franklin Graham on the internet, he looked exhausted. I’ll be praying for him and all the Christian leaders that are leading right now. I am harsh to no one because I know how difficult it is to lead in God’s household. Leading in secular places are not as difficult.

Holy Spirit, please help me and infuse me with your strength, power and love. I confess that I’m battle weary. Because of you living in me, I know that I will survive and lead the rest of 2020. Three more months to go…praise the Lord.
