If we want our prayers to be effective, we must stay vitally connected to the vine, and whatever you ask will be yours. It really says that in John 15:5-7 What a promise! Today remember to pray for our nation and the many issues we are facing. God is bigger than it all! Now is a great time to enlist in the prayer army of God. When you volunteer to spend time praying for our nation, you can be mobilized to make a difference. God is looking to us to be His earth representatives. It is up to us to know our authority. Then it is our responsibility to use the keys of the kingdom, including of binding and loosing (Matt 16:19) to see God’s will accomplished on the earth. We have to believe that what God says will actually come to pass. Sometimes we pray not really expecting anything to change. When an answer is revealed to something you’ve been praying for, if you consciously write down what you had on your heart to pray for, you can look back and see when and what you prayed for, and then when the answer came. Then don’t forget to thank God when the answer is manifested. As you make a choice to pray fervently for our nation, let’s remember to celebrate even the little victories that we see. It takes a while to turn a big ship around, but big ships do turn! Let’s believe for it. `
