"…The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective. Elijah was a man just like us. He prayed earnestly that it would not rain, and it did not rain on the land for three and a half years. Again he prayed, and the heavens gave rain, and the earth produced its crops."
These words from James 5 exhibit the power found in prayer. Just a couple questions to think about: What do you think would happen if every Christian in the United States were to fast and pray for the upcoming elections? What do you think would happen if every Christian in the world would unite to fast and pray for the unsaved? For a more personal example, what do you think would happen if every Christian in my family would band together to fast and pray for my wife and I?
What gets in our way? Life does...if we let it. I don't ask these questions to judge anyone. I ask them because I want your imagination to soar at the idea of what would happen if we actually could pray and fast in these situations. Life does get in the way sometimes, but when you get the chance...please pray for your country and for those that are unsaved or in need. We believe in a big God and that big God can solve any problem.

I AM SO WITH YOU!
"Be happy [in your faith] and rejoice and be glad-hearted continually (always);
Be unceasing in prayer [praying perseveringly];
Thank [God] in everything [no matter what the circumstances may be, be thankful and give thanks], for this is the will of God for you [who are] in Christ Jesus [the Revealer and Mediator of that will].
Do not quench (suppress or subdue) the [Holy] Spirit;" - 1 Thessalonians 5:16-19 AMP
