PRAYER ALERT – 10/7/08


Dear Prayer Warriors:



With less than five weeks until the presidential election, the focal point has become the economic crisis because it hits the people where it hurts the most – the pocket book. But as important as that is, the next president’s foreign policy and judicial appointments are equally vital as they will impact the nation for decades to come.



Senator McCain and Senator Obama face off in a 2nd debate tonight. We need to put aside media hype and pay attention to what is actually being said, believed and able to be achieved by each candidate. More than ever we need God’s wisdom to properly discern and make the right choice.



Prayer Points


Pray that each candidate will deliver his message with clarity and accuracy, and that any attempt to deceive the public in any way will be exposed by the truth.
Pray that American voters will have God’s wisdom as they make their choices.
Pray for the protection of all the candidates, their staffs and family.
Pray for impartial coverage of the debate, the candidates and the issues.
Pray that any fraud or corruption within the campaigns would be uncovered and dealt with before the election.
Pray that “all things hidden will be revealed” so that there would be accurate disclosures of each candidate’s voting record, stand on the issues and financial dealings.
All eyes around the world seem to be focused on our nation, its economy and the upcoming elections. Notwithstanding, Yom Kippur begins at sundown tomorrow, October 8, 2008, and Israel will be most vulnerable as they observe this holy day. Hatred toward our ally continues to escalate as the Islamic radicals seek to eradicate it from the face of the earth.



Prayer Points


Pray for the peace of Jerusalem and the protection of Israel during this season.
Pray that Israel would exercise godly wisdom in its dealing with those who threaten them, particularly Iran and its allies.
Pray that our nation’s leaders would recognize the importance of Israel in God’s plan and not make decisions that will bring His judgment upon us.
We’ve received reports of horrific events taking place in Orissa, India as Christians are targeted, slaughtered and forced to flee their homes by radical Hindus. Although Christians are persecuted around the world for their faith, we Americans still enjoy our freedom to worship as we choose.



Prayer Points


Pray that there would be a worldwide outcry of protest against this carnage, that it would stop and that all that was lost would be restored.
Pray for persecuted Christians in other nations as well – China, Indonesia, etc.
Pray for the protection of our own religious liberties, and that the next president would ensure our constitutional rights to practice our faith without repercussions.
