Let’s PRAY!

“O LORD how many are my foes! Many are rising against me; many are saying of my soul, there is no salvation for him in God. But you, O LORD, are a shield about me, my glory, and the lifter of my head.” Psalms 3:1-3

Gracious merciful LORD God, we marvel at Your word, the constant instruction. Father clearly You know our times and enemy tactics. This passage speaks as we see lawless enemies doing violence and hearing unlawful, unethical actions week after week. Yet, we rejoice that You are never surprised, never worried or anxious about what to do on behalf of Your treasured creation when we cry out to You for help. Yes, when we are discouraged, there you lift our very heads by Your care, comfort and instruction. Jesus, Messiah, Advocate, in Your Name and access given by Your cross and resurrection, we come boldly.

For Such a Time as This! Prayer Call
Sharing Hope in Crisis

TUESDAY June 7, 2022

8 PM ET/7CT/6MT/5PT

Join with Christians around the world on Tuesday, June 7 where you will hear timely biblical insights about recent events from CEN Founder and President Mary Marr, a national faith community advisor to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. Mary will summarize the serious threats and risks facing Christians today globally to help you pray fervently.

CEN’s National Prayer Officer, former executive for the National Day of Prayer Task Force and Focus on the Family, Lisa Crump, will facilitate a time of prayer for the Christian community at large to be ready in these uncertain times and for those facing persecution, attacks or threats globally AND locally.

Focusing upon prayer and mission opportunities worldwide, international ministry leader, John Robb, Chairman of Transformation Prayer Foundation and Coordinator of the Unreached Peoples Task Force, will share the status of the Great Commission globally and how to get involved in its completion. He will bring us into the “real world” of bringing the Hope of Jesus Christ to hopeless and lost people around the globe. John will provide helpful information so we can effectively pray and care for the unreached peoples in countries far and wide. And, he will inspire us with captivating stories to use these same principles of the “ministry of availability” in sharing the Gospel here at home.
