Philippians 4:6 KJV Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.
Anne Graham Lotz, daughter of legendary evangelist Billy Graham, has called for America to an urgent call for prayer.
“One of the things He has impressed on me is that we are living at the end of human history as we know it,” Lotz wrote in a letter to CBN’s Pat Robertson. She said that America needs to desperately turn away from their ways and turn to God.
Lotz says the purpose is three fold:
- For God the Father to restrain, protect, and deliver His people from the evil that has come into our world.
- For God the Son to be exalted, magnified, and glorified in His church, in our nation, and in our lives.
- For God the Holy Spirit to fall on us in a fresh way, compelling the church to repent of sin and our nation to return to faith in the living God, resulting in a great national spiritual awakening.
The week of prayer will end with a seven hour fast on July 7th.
Joel 2:1, 13 Blow the trumpet…sound the alarm…for the day of the Lord is coming. It is close at hand– Rend your heart and not your garments. Return to the Lord your God.
