Hi there Friend,

Sometimes during times of upheaval and uncertainty, it can be hard to know what to think or how to pray. As Christians,  we're called to be beacons of light in a dark place. But often we are bombarded or shocked by what we see on the news, and it becomes easy to start worrying rather than talking to our heavenly Father. 

Does worry ever threaten to consume you? I know that is sometimes true for me!

I'm reaching out to you to introduce you to a prayer guide I have found very helpful called Prayer and Politics. Written to meet the urgent need for spiritual direction in our current political climate, this guide helps us, as believers, navigate these challenging days with faith and prayer as our anchors.

We've all witnessed numerous unsettling events of recent times. It is easy to feel lost and fearful. Yet, we should take comfort in Psalm 46:1-2, which says, “God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble. Therefore, we will not fear, though the earth give way and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea."

Prayer and Politics is crafted to remind us that despite the chaos, we can know that God remains sovereign. We also know that He has given us a task — to pray for those who lead us. This prayer guide offers practical, biblically grounded insights on how we can call on our Lord to uphold our nation and guide our leaders. Inside, you'll find specific prayer points for our government leaders that include:

• Praying for the protection of their marriages and families.
• Asking for wisdom and discernment in their decision-making.
• Encouraging the rise of men and women of principle.
• Praying for officials by name.
• Seeking God's sovereign will to prevail in all situations.

Prayer and Politics goes beyond just praying; it encourages a deeper engagement with our civic duties through a spiritual lens — the most important lens. With personal stories and heartfelt experiences woven throughout, this guide urges us to be the light in our communities, reflecting the love and justice of our unchanging God.

God has promised us that prayer can bring about real change. By requesting your download of Prayer and Politics today, you will be taking a crucial step toward fostering a spirit of unity and healing in our nation.
