As our nation faces deepening moral and spiritual challenges affecting both the culture and the Church, strategic prayer is desperately needed to call both the Church and the nation to repentance and to strengthen the biblical foundations upon which our nation was established. As we prepare to focus on Praying for a Christ Awakening on this 10th anniversary of 9/11/01, let's turn what could be a 9/11 event into a process around prayer.
Awakening America Alliance is urging churches across our nation to partner in a special 10-week prayer initiative themed, “Praying through the Heart of the Year for the Soul of Our Nation.” This prayer emphasis is built around twenty indicators of spiritual awakening in the Church and the Culture as developed by the Awakening America Alliance. (www.AwakeningAmerica.us)
Beginning on July 3, the Sunday prior to our nation's Independence Day, this prayer emphasis will continue through Sunday, September 11, the 10-year anniversary of 9/11/01. We have prepared two Prayer Guides for each week, one focused on the church, the other focused on our culture. Also included are PowerPoint slides for each of the Prayer Guides…excellent to use in weekly prayer groups, or as sermon support.
