Day 1 — May 15, 2026 ALABAMA

“Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord.”—Psalm 33:12, NKJVH

Hello, I’m Jim Lowe of Birmingham, Alabama, representing the state of Alabama. Let us pray.

Heavenly Father, we humble ourselves before You today and pray on behalf of this nation. A nation founded 250 years ago by wise, prudent, and God-fearing men, who, having studied the rise and fall of mankind’s civilization up to that time, endeavored to build a nation based upon Biblical principles, recognizing that there are truths that are self-evident, that all men are created equal and endowed by You with certain inalienable rights. And governments are instituted among men to secure those God-given rights.

Lord, now we pray for every current leader in this nation, that You remind them of the principles of our Founding Fathers, declared in our Declaration of Independence, and help them uphold them.

 

 

Strengthen them to support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic, so that this country might remain strong, and help them to value the rights of the people above party, special interests, or personal gain.

And Father, as Your Word declares, “Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord.” May this nation’s leaders and its people honor You and recognize You once again, as it has so many times in the past.

And as there are those who have desire to make America great again, I pray that we realize we cannot be great again until we unite to make America godly again.

We ask these things in the Name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, amen.

May the Lord bless you and keep you.

Day 2 — May 16, 2026 ALASKA

“Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven. ”—Matthew 5:16, NKJV

Hey, everyone. I’m Pastor Ron Hoffman, here from Mountain City Church in Anchorage, Alaska, and we’re so excited to be able to pray for this year’s 250th celebration of this incredible nation. Let’s pray.

Father, we thank You for Your goodness to us.

Lord, we thank You for Your love for us, we thank You for this great nation, the USA.

Lord, You have set this nation aside to be a beacon of hope, a beacon of light to the rest of the world.

Lord, we are a nation who falls under You, that submits to Your authority.

Lord, I pray that we would be a nation who continue to make a difference throughout the entire world.

 

 

That we would proclaim Your truth, Your Gospel.

And Lord, we thank You for it.

Lord, I pray for our president. Lord, I pray for our House, for our Senate, for our Supreme Court.

Lord, I pray that Your hand would be upon them, that they would rule us in fear of You.

But I pray that we’d be a nation of freedom and liberty and justice for all.

Lord, I pray that we would be a nation who makes a difference. That we would wake up every day saying, “How can we change the world and make it a better place, one that reflects Your glory and who You are?”

We ask this in Jesus’ precious Name, amen and amen.

Day 3 — May 17, 2026 ARIZONA

“These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace.”—John 16:33, NKJV

Hi, I am Pastor Josue Castro, and I live in Arizona, the state of the Grand Canyon. Let’s pray together.

Lord, we come before Your presence in the Name of our Lord Jesus Christ, thanking You because You are God—the God of the nations, the Lord of our cities, the King over every authority and every town. Today, we lift up before You the cities of the United States. Father, have mercy on every community, every neighborhood, and every family. You know the needs and struggles of every inhabitant of this nation.

Today, we ask You, Father, to extend Your hand over our mayors, community leaders, and public servants. Please, Lord, give them wisdom, integrity, discernment, and the fear of God to govern with justice and compassion.

 

We pray for peace in our streets, for unity among communities, and for protection over our families, our youth, and our children. May all violence, division, and corruption flee before the power of Your presence, Lord.

Father, we pray for a spiritual awakening in this nation, that hearts would return to You and that homes would be restored. Lord, may a new generation come to know Your love and Your salvation.

Father, we know that our cities belong to You and that we will see Your glory manifested on this earth.

We pray for the United States in the powerful Name of our Lord Jesus Christ, amen.

God bless you.

Day 4 — May 18, 2026 ARKANSAS

Bill Elliff is the pastor of Summit Church in Arkansas.

Verse of the Day

“Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.”—Romans 12:2, NKJV

 

I’m Bill Elliff from the Summit family of churches in Arkansas. Would you pray with me?

Precious Father, thank You for the privilege of coming right into Your presence, because Jesus Christ has made a way for our sins to be forgiven. We can talk to You and have peace facing You.

And Lord, we come to You with a big prayer. We pray for a mighty spiritual awakening among the next generation.

We pray, Father, that You would deliver them from the lies that we have given to them: that there is no God, that they are their own creator, and they can decide who they can be and what they can do with their lives.

 

Father, we thank You that we see a great spiritual awakening happening among the young.

We thank You for the rise of prayer.

We thank You for the return to the Bible as their final authority for life.

We praise You that we hear a nation of students praising You again.

And Lord, we pray You would awaken them to their great purpose, to live in the presence of Christ and to bring the presence of Christ to those around them.

And now, O Lord, we pray You would explode Your work among that generation in our day, and raise up a mighty army that would take the Gospel of Jesus Christ to every tongue and tribe and nation, and that Your glory would cover the earth, like the waters cover the sea.

In Jesus’ precious Name, amen.

Day 5— May 19, 2026 California

“If My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land.”—2 Chronicles 7:14, NKJV

Greg Laurie here from the great state of California. And I want to pray for our nation and also for our president. Let’s pray together.

Father, You’ve given us an amazing promise in 2 Chronicles 7:14, where You say, “If My people, which are called by My Name, will humble themselves and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, I will hear from Heaven and forgive their sin and heal their land.”

Lord, would You heal our land? Help us to humble ourselves. Help us to pray and seek Your face and turn from our wicked ways.

 

 

Lord, we need a spiritual awakening. We can’t think of any other hope apart from that for America as we celebrate 250 years as a nation.

And Lord, we do pray for our president. Lord, as You know, there have been three assassination attempts against President Donald Trump. Thank You for preserving him, and we pray that You will continue to protect him.

Give him wisdom. Give him guidance. Surround him with godly people who will help him.

You tell us in Scripture, “When the righteous rule, the people will rejoice.” You also tell us, “Happy is the nation whose God is the Lord.” 

So, Lord, we’re praying for a blessing, protection, and wisdom for our president and Your blessing on our nation. As we often sing, we now pray, God bless America.

Day 6 — May 20, 2026 Colorado

“When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice.”—Proverbs 29:2, NKJV

Hi, my name is Nick Cady from Colorado. Would you please join me in prayer?

Lord God, we come before You to lift up the mayors of cities across America. Your Word says that when the righteous are in authority, people rejoice. So, Lord, we pray that You would raise up leaders who will govern with integrity and justice and wisdom and humility.

Lord, we ask that You give our mayors discernment as they make decisions that affect families and neighborhoods and businesses. We pray that You would protect them and strengthen them in the face of temptation. We pray that You would surround them with wise counsel.

 

Lord, we also pray for our leaders in Colorado as they make decisions about the sanctity of life and protections for children and families, and for religious freedom.

Lord, we pray that righteousness and truth would prevail, what is good would be upheld. Father, our nation needs spiritual renewal. And so we pray for revival and awakening across America. 

Pour out Your Spirit on our churches. Bring repentance for their sin, healing where there is brokenness, and hope where there is despair. May many people come to know Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord.

And may Your grace and truth shape our lives and our nation. 

We pray this in Jesus’ Name, amen.

God bless you.

Day 7— May 21, 2026Connecticut

 

 

Lord,

wicked ways.

 

 

America.

“He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, that we might die to sin and live to righteousness. By his wounds you have been healed.”
1 Peter 2:24

1,994 years ago (possibly to the day, Friday, April 3rd, AD33) according to the Nisan 14 Calendar, our Savior was crucified for our transgressions. It is hard to fully grasp what that day must have been like… the weight of sin, the silence of heaven, the suffering of a perfect Savior. And yet, this was not a moment of defeat; it was the greatest display of love the world has ever known.

No other god would send His Son to die for the very people who rejected Him. No other god has a resurrection day. What a gift we have been given. A gift we can never earn, never repay, and must never take for granted. We serve a God who did not remain distant, but stepped into our brokenness, carried our sin, and gave His life so that we might truly live. Let that settle in your heart.

And Sunday is coming. Easter is here and He is risen. He is alive. And because He lives, we have hope, victory, and eternal life. Today, may we pause… be thankful… and ask the Lord how we are called to live in light of such a sacrifice.

MAY I PLEASE HAVE A REFILL

 

Jenny is sitting at the counter by herself of the main

watering hole in a small village. She just finished eating her lunch. Previously that morning she had been embarrassed by her husband in front of the entire village.

Jenny asks, “May I have a refill please.”

The Man Behind the Counter (Joe), “Coming right up ….

……. Jenny looks a bit sad and frustrated …..

As Joe hands her another drink he asks, “Excuse Mam are you alright?”

 

Jenny responds, “It’s a long story.”

Joe smiles and says, “I like stories.”

So, Joe comes around the counter and sits next to her.

Jenny goes on to tell Joe about her story, and says, “You see my husband, Noah, has told the entire village it will start to rain for a long time; are you familiar with my husband Noah?”

Joe responds, “Oh yes, the guy that’s building a huge ark, yes I heard of him, Noah.”

Jenny goes on with her story, “And get this… My husband says, God told him to do it.”

Jenny frustrated says,  “Now what in the world do you do with that?”

 

Joe surprisingly says, “Sounds like an opportunity.”

Jenny frowns back at Joe and asks him, “What do mean by that…. an opportunity?”

Joe goes on to say: “Let me ask you something…..

 

If someone prays for “patients” do you think God gives them patients?

Or does God give them the opportunity to be patient?

 

When someone prays for courage does God give them courage or does God give them the opportunity to be courageous.

And….

If someone prays for their family to be closer, Do you think God zaps them with warm fuzzy feelings or does God give them opportunities to love each other.”

 

Jenny sighs and lifts her head toward the sky as if to ask God something. She suddenly gets up and starts walking away from the village towards her husband’s tent.

She leaves her refill behind.

Do you expect God to give you what you ask or maybe God will provide you opportunities…. opportunities to fulfill what you asked God for?

Do you need a refill?

 

So, next time you pray and ask God for something, don’t always expect God to give you what you asked of Him. Instead, be ready, be ready for opportunities that God provides us all.

 

…knock and the door will be opened to you. Matt 7:7

When you knock do you think God will open door or could it be that God simply provided the door, provided the opportunity and expects you to open it.

HB 670 could be used by prosecutors to punish those who peacefully pray or offer alternatives outside abortion facilities. 

HB 2005 repeals Pennsylvania’s 24-hour waiting and counseling period, eliminating a key safeguard meant to ensure informed consent.

And HB 1957 proposes a constitutional amendment establishing a so-called “right to personal reproductive liberty.”

 

That amendment – HB 1957 – would go far beyond Roe v. Wade. It would make Pennsylvania one of the most extreme abortion states in the nation by enshrining abortion until birth, eliminating parental consent laws, and forcing taxpayers to pay for abortion.

Pennsylvania House along with every Democrat including two Repbulicans

Joe Hogan and Tomlinson

proposed contitutional language to enshrine current abortion law and regualte care after fetal viability…this makes me sick. 

Pray for wisdom for our judges, courage for our lawmakers, and compassion for women facing unplanned pregnancies.

 

The Pennsylvania House on December 17th,  constitutional abortion bills, each designed to dismantle existing pro-life protections and expand abortion access at every stage of pregnancy.

“every individual has the fundamental right to exercise personal reproductive liberty,” including the choice to end a pregnancy, use contraceptives, or receive fertility care, and that the commonwealth “may not deny, burden, infringe upon or abridge this right unless justified by a compelling state interest achieved by the least restrictive means.”

“the commonwealth may regulate the provision of abortion care after fetal viability, except that in no circumstance shall the commonwealth prohibit an abortion that, in the professional judgment of an attending health care professional, is medically indicated to protect the life or physical or mental health of the pregnant individual,” with “fetal viability” further defined as the point where “there is a significant likelihood of the fetus’s sustained survival outside the uterus without the application of extraordinary medical measures.”

Have I not commanded you?

 Be strong and courageous. 

Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged,

for the Lord your God will be with you

wherever you go.

We are Valuable

God treasures everything and everyone He created.

Sparrows, to some, are not consider to be very valuable, but the common sparrow has tremendous value in God’s perspective. As Jesus says, if even sparrows are worthy enough for God to remember and count them and keep watch over them, how much more are human beings worth from the moment of conception in the womb till the day we die and go back home to our creator?

Since we are all we are made in God’s own image, are we not worth more to God then a sparrow?

God knows us completely – even down to the smallest details and thus God loves us completely.

Since God cares so much for sparrows, which are so tiny and commonplace, we can trust God to care for us too. 

Job 12:7-10 declares: “But ask the animals,

and they will teach you, or the birds in the sky, and they will tell you;
or speak to the earth, and it will teach you,
or let the fish in the sea inform you.


Which of all these does not know
that the hand of the Lord has done this?
In his hand is the life of every creature
and the breath of all mankind.
