Lord, We come before You in humility, seeking Your face and turning from our sins. We thank You for Your faithful promise to hear us, to forgive us, and to bring healing to our country. Strengthen our hearts, Lord, and guide us in the path of righteousness. Show us how to do our part, that we may walk in obedience and honor You in all we do. We stand firmly on Your promises, trusting in Your mercy and grace.
Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves. 4 Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others. Philippians 2:3-4 ESV
“[W]ith one heart and voice we may prostrate ourselves at the throne of heavenly grace and present to our Great Benefactor sincere and unfeigned thanks for His infinite goodness and mercy towards us from our birth to the present moment for having above all things illuminated us by the Gospel of Jesus Christ, presenting to our view the happy prospect of a blessed immortality.” – Governor of Massachusetts Elbridge Gerry Proclamation for a Day of Thanksgiving and Praise October 24, 1810
Hold Fast, Spread the Word and God Save the Republic.
Operation World Pray for India : Odisha state has more intense persecution of Christians than anywhere else in India. In many districts, Christians must either reconvert to Hinduism, leave their village, or face death. Pray that churches might grow in unity, and in their ability to withstand persecution. Despite the troubles, the Church multiplies rapidly, mostly among tribal and Dalit peoples. 709 of the 799 people groups in Odisha have no Christians, according to a census. Pray for the effective use of audio Scripture, and Christian radio and TV programmes, as illiteracy is common.
