It’s finally arrived! Today is the day we start our trip across America. It’s been a long time coming.
Day 1: Mark is riding from Bonita Springs to North Fort Meyers, Florida. It’s about a 35-mile ride, a shorter ride for the first day. As I think about praying for the next several months, here are some general things we can pray for each day:
General Requests
- Unity in our country.
- People will turn to God.
- Families to stay together.
Specific Requests
- Pray against fires. It’s been very dry here and there’s already been many acres lost to fires. The last several days we’ve been under fire alerts.
Most importantly, please pray as the Spirit leads you.
Please post any of your prayers in the comments section if you feel led. Thank you so much for praying with us for America!
Pray on!
It is interesting that I asked prayer for the wildfires, because today there is a wildfire burning very close to us in North Fort Meyers. We can see the black smoke billowing close by in the sky. It’s about two miles from us.
We also need to pray for God to light a “wild fire” of passion in our hearts for Him! A Holy Spirit fire to burn off the junk and dead stuff from our heart so we will live only for Him!
Amen! Thank you, Mary. Father, we pray for pure hearts that desire You and Your kingdom. May we seek what You have for us. May we fulfill the purposes and passions You have created us for. Amen!
Father, I pray for safety for Jane and Mark as they travel. I pray that they touch each person they encounter. Hear their prayers and those of us praying with them. Father, I pray that you are glorified on their journey. In Jesus name, Amen.
Amen! Thank you so much, Renea! Father, for each one praying, we ask your inspiration and anointing. Fire us up for what fires you up. Amen!
Father, I also want to praise you. As we travel through southwest Florida, I am struck by the beauty of your creation. We have seen so much wildlife: alligators, swallow-tailed kites, bald eagles, flickers, river otters, dolphin, manatees, stingrays, osprey, herons, wading birds, pelicans, snakes. I am amazed at the creatures you have placed under our care. May we be diligent in caring for your creation. In Jesus’ name, Amen!
I have a new request. Today I got to pray for someone along the way who needs a breakthrough in family relationships. Thank you, prayer warriors!
