The 71st National Day of Prayer
Prayer for America & Other Nations
The 71st National Day of Prayer is fast approaching and will be commemorated on Thursday, May 5, 2022, with the scriptural theme “Exalt the Lord Who Has Established Us.” The Bible instructs us to pray for our national leaders (I Timothy 2:1-2). Please join in fervent prayer with us and ask God to intervene. Let’s cry out in prayer to God who is sovereign over all governments, authorities, and people. For more info, go to https://www.nationaldayofprayer.org/.
PRAY:
- Pray for our president and all governmental officials of America and other nations.
- Supplicate for our present administration/current leaders from every rank―government officials on the national, state, and city levels. Supplicate for the seven centers of power: government, church, education, media, family, business, and military.
- Intercede that our leaders would allow God to guide them to lead America. Pray that amid economic crisis and uncertainty that God’s wisdom and power would flow through them and that it would be displayed in their speech and their actions.
- Petition for our federal judiciary leaders who value constitutional rights and religious liberties. Intercede that efforts and proposed legislation would not prosper that seek to remove the acknowledgement of God in our nation.
- Cry out to God, asking Him to pour out His Spirit upon our national leaders, and that their hearts and ears would be attentive to godly counsel. Intercede that they be just, and lead in the fear of God and surround themselves with good staff members and advisers.
- Believe for a great awakening to sweep across America and nations worldwide. Pray for great revival and that God “pour out His Spirit upon all flesh,” as His glory is revealed!
- Render prayer for all spiritual leaders and churches. Pray each practice godly principles and have specific needs met, according to God’s will. Pray that God will help all leaders to fulfill His divine call in their lives with great success!
- Pray that we would “Exalt the Lord Who Has Established Us!”

The World Network of Prayer Presents
24/7 WATCH: A Year-Round Initiative for 24/7 Prayer
As of January 1, 2022, WNOP launched an annual 24/7 prayer and fasting chain worldwide in coordination with our existing “Year of Prayer.” Each week WNOP is posting a prayer focus as daily prayer for the entire week. Also weekly, a video is posted on the WNOP Facebook Page of a prayer leader and/or minister leading in periodic prayer. We encourage your participation by joining in prayer.
Will you commit and join with others throughout the world in united prayer and fasting? Sign up by committing in your heart unto God that you will consistently set aside a day each week to do some prayer and fasting. WNOP also has partnered with those in local churches who are already a part of a current 24-hour prayer chain. All of these hours of consecration are culminating to help provide a complete mass prayer covering over the entire Church body and to help bring greater success in all that we do in Christ! Together, let’s “watch and pray” and behold great and mighty things in the kingdom of God! Let’s prevail over the enemy with victory and declare, “Not on My Watch!”

World Needs:
- Pray for the Lord to send rain to Southern California in an “unprecedented” order to reduce outdoor watering amid a historic drought.
- Pray for God to heal the hearts of the people of Nigeria, as an explosion at an illegal oil refinery in southern Nigeria has killed many and burned victims beyond recognition. Emergency response teams have found 109 bodies, while others remain missing.
- Continue to pray for God to bring victory to Ukraine and for the protection of Missionaries/Apostolic friends, believers, children, and civilians by bringing an end to the Ukraine/Russia war. Russian troops are escalating their offensive in southern and eastern Ukraine. Russia attacked Kyiv while UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres was completing a visit to the Ukrainian capital. Also, a Kyiv U.S. embassy bodyguard who took leave from his embassy position to fight Russian forces in Ukraine has been killed.
- Continue to pray for the Lord to eradicate Covid-19 from our world. China is battling its largest Covid-19 wave amid widespread lockdowns and increased restrictions across eight districts in Beijing. Residents are banned from leaving their homes or community grounds.
- Continue to pray for the peace of Israel and the return of their land, as a West Bank security guard was fatally shot by Palestinian assailants at the entrance to a Jewish settlement in the occupied West Bank.

POA 90 Day Prayer
For Prodigals and Those Who Love Them
NEVER has there been a greater time in prophecy as now for seeing our prayers answered. DON’T give up or be weary in well doing. WE WILL REAP IF WE FAINT NOT!
“And the Gentiles that are left round about you shall know that I the Lord built the ruined places and planted that which was desolate; I the Lord have spoken it, and I will do it” (Ezekiel 36:36, JUB)
Ezekiel 37:12 speaks of them coming out of their cold and dead situations and bringing them back home.
“Therefore prophesy and say unto them, Thus hath the Lord GOD said: Behold, O my people, I open your graves and will cause you to come up out of your graves and bring you into the land of Israel” (Ezekiel 37:12, JUB).
We are speaking and calling, “COME TO LIFE,” dry bones. Come back to where you first met Jesus! Come home to the kingdom where you belong. You were never meant for Satan’s kingdom. There is only one kingdom for you. Come home! Come home! We will welcome you with the love of Jesus!
HOPE Prayer will begin again on April 1 to pray the book, Prayers For Prodigals...90 Days of Prayers For Your Prodigals by Dr. James Banks. This book is filled with scriptures from the Word of God. We will conclude on June 29.
We’re very excited and in great anticipation. Our beloved prodigals know the signs! They know the scriptures. We can be sure they are watching everything. God has spoken that His Spirit will draw them as we unite in love and prayer. The love and Spirit of God are promised and exampled through the Holy Scriptures. We know them to be faithful and true.
WE ARE ONE. Let us unite to pray, believe, and celebrate together as God answers our prayers!
As in the past, we will post daily posts on Face Book and Instagram @ HOPE2HOPE15 and Don Long and Donald Long. Contact number: 318 442 5541. Please leave a message.
We are available to speak or help launch a Hope Prayer Ministry.
Thank you!
Believing for the harvest!
