Prayer for the Hurting During the Christmas Season

"For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace” (Isaiah 9:6).

Christmas is the Most Wonderful Time of the Year for many, but it can be a difficult time for those who are hurting. During this holiday season, let us not forget to pray for those who are hurting or who have experienced loss. 

Pray specifically for:

1. Orphans 
2.  Individuals who have lost loved ones to death
3. Individuals who are terminally ill
4. Spouses, parents, and loved ones of the terminally ill
5. The homeless 
6. Individuals who have experienced tragedies from floods, fires, tornadoes, etc.
7. The unemployed
8. Others who God may lay upon your heart.

Pray these focuses:

• Pray that God will undergird and strengthen the hurting with His unconditional love and comfort.
• Pray that God gives His divine protection spiritually, physically, and emotionally.
• Pray that God reveals and or/renews to each hurting individual the revelation of the true meaning of Christmas. 
• Pray that God "supplies every need" spiritually, financially, and emotionally.
• Pray that the will of God be done in the hearts and lives of the hurting.

May God bless you!

Restoring Families

Rev. Prince Mathias once said, “God created the family before he created the church.” What a powerful statement, yet there are many families that have drifted apart for many reasons.  Family is so important, and setting aside differences for the strength of the family is crucial in these last days.

PRAY:

• God will soften the hearts of family members who have bitterness
• God will open doors for families to be restored 
• God would heal the wounds of the past
• God would help all those that have been hurt, to forgive

The World Network of Prayer Presents 

24/7 WATCH: A Year-Round Initiative for 24/7 Prayer

As of January 1, 2024, WNOP has continued the 24/7 prayer and fasting chain worldwide. It has been such a great success in 2023 that it was requested again. 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.

Many people throughout the world have signed up by committing in their hearts unto God that they will consistently join together in united 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!”
