Lord, We come before You with humble hearts, asking for wisdom and truth to prevail in our nation. We pray for those entrusted with authority over matters of law, especially concerning the First Amendment. Grant them clarity, discernment, and a steadfast commitment to interpret our founding principles accurately and justly. Awaken in our country a deeper understanding of our history, that we may recognize the true intent of our founders. Help us remember that the phrase “separation of church and state” is not found within our founding documents, and guide us toward rulings that reflect both truth and constitutional integrity. We ask for the correction of past misunderstandings and for a restoration of interpretations that honor both religious liberty and the freedom to live out our faith openly. Thank You for the blessing of a nation where we are free to choose how we worship, without coercion or fear. May we never take this freedom for granted, but instead use it to seek You, honor You, and walk in righteousness.
Learn to do good; seek justice, correct oppression… Isaiah 1:17 ESV
“We have abundant reason to rejoice that in this Land the light of truth and reason has triumphed over the power of bigotry and superstition, and that every person may here worship God according to the dictates of his own heart. In this enlightened Age and in this Land of equal liberty it is our boast, that a man’s religious tenets will not forfeit the protection of the Laws, nor deprive him of the right of attaining and holding the highest Offices that are known in the United States.” – George Washington

Operation World Pray for Greenland : Almost every settlement in Greenland has a Lutheran church – but many lack real spiritual life. Pray for renewal. Modern culture clashes with Greenland’s old ways, and many now battle with immorality, sexual abuse, alcoholism, mental illness, and suicide. Some indigenous believers and foreign missionaries serve in counselling, healing, and deliverance, and see wonderful fruit by the work of the Holy Spirit. Pray for this to continue. Thank God for new airstrips that opened remote settlements for ministry.
Operation World Pray for Grenada : Hurricane Beryl’s damage in 2024 was a repeat of that done by hurricanes Ivan and Emily in years past. These hurricanes destroyed or damaged up to 90% of the island’s buildings. The agriculture and tourism sectors were virtually annihilated. Both sectors were rebuilt, but at the cost of crippling external debts. Some of this debt was restructured, but long-term solutions are still needed. The global spread of COVID in 2020 and afterward devastated Grenada’s tourist industry, on which it is heavily dependent. Pray for sustainable solutions to Grenada’s current challenges as hurricanes become more destructive. Pray also for debt reduction/forgiveness rather than restructuring, and for Grenadians to put their faith in God above all things.
