The Power of Prayer<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n

– Col 4:2 \u201cDevote yourselves to prayer, being watchful and thankful.<\/em>\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Please lift these people up in prayer:\u00a0<\/strong> <\/span><\/h4>\n

Pray<\/strong> for members and friends. <\/span><\/p>\n

Pray<\/strong> for Ukraine, the local pastors, church members and for God’s will to prevail in Ukraine.<\/a><\/p>\n

Pray For Isreal, the missionaries and for God’s will to prevail in Isreal.<\/p>\n

Pray<\/strong> for Haiti, gangs have taken control of Haiti’s capital creating a political crisis which is causing thousands to flee their homes. Nazarene Compassionate Ministries<\/a> is partnering with local Nazarene Churches to minister to those in need. Please pray for peace to be restored in Haiti.<\/p>\n

Pray<\/strong> for the United States and world economies, for businesses that are being shut down, or will be adversely impacted by the associated economic downturn, and the wars in Ukraine and Isreal.
<\/span><\/p>\n

In a statement to The Christian Post, Robert J. Pacienza, senior pastor of Coral Ridge Presbyterian Church and founder of the Institute for Faith & Culture, said:<\/p>\n

“The violent attacks on Israel necessitate an urgent call to all Americans to pray for the state of Israel and the people in the region. These events have been perpetrated by terrorists and resourced by the terrorist state of Iran. Democracy and principled freedom in Israel, throughout the Middle East, and the world are at risk because of these efforts.<\/em><\/p>\n

Christians in particular should be concerned for the humanitarian rights and religious liberties that will be threatened as a result. Considering the biblical duty of peace and honor, and the principles of just war, we have a responsibility to speak out on behalf of those that are being unjustly assaulted.”<\/em><\/p>\n

Pray<\/strong> for pastors and missionaries for wisdom to know how best to carry out their respective responsibilities.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Pray<\/strong> for the church. That she would rise up and be what the Lord calls her to be: an entity that cares in practical and sacrificial ways for “the least of these.” That she would capture the imagination of a surrounding skeptical world, to where people that are currently far from God would begin to seek the Lord and open up to Him in real and genuine ways.<\/span><\/p>\n

Extreme Flooding in Texas<\/strong><\/p>\n

a severe flooding event has led to devastating loss of lives in Texas. In the Hill Country region of Texas, at least 120 people were killed in a flash flood that struck in the early hours of July 4. More than 180 people remain missing. Many who died were children attending summer camps along the Guadalupe River, in Kerr County. First responders and search and rescue teams continue to work to locate all who are missing.<\/p>\n

At this time, Nazarene Compassionate Ministries is working through partner organizations to provide Crisis Care Kits and support for disaster chaplains who are ministering to those impacted. A Nazarene church facility is being used to house chaplains while they serve.<\/p>\n

Lord, we earnestly pray for all who are facing the impact of these devastating floods. We know there are so many who are grieving; provide your comfort in the midst of catastrophic loss. We think of the first responders working tirelessly to find the missing. Lord, send your courage and strength to each person impacted by these tragedies. May they know your love. Lord, hear our prayers.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
