We have never been where we are today as a nation. While division abounds in almost every segment of America, it is time to cry out to God in prayer for America. No longer can the people of God be silent before the Lord. We need to call out to God passionately and urgently until the glory of God is experienced in every corner of our nation.
Share these prayer needs with every spiritual leader, church, and Christ follower in America and across the world. Let’s come together and pray in agreement for these three urgent requests and prayer priorities in America.

I didn’t mean to get involved. I was there as a photographer, and to do the job properly I need to be an observer, not a participant. I need to concentrate on the best angle and ensuring that the focus is sharp, without being distracted by the event I’m documenting.
But Saturday at the May crowning at St. Florence Mission in Huntsville my professional objectivity went out the window. The event started with Mass, at which I actually did participate, listening to the homily, trying to feel in full communion with my fellow worshipers, praying that I would be open to the Spirit moving in my life. That, I suspect, was my mistake, because God took up my invitation.

Emily Smith is an epidemiologist at Baylor University, the wife of a Baptist pastor, and a mother. She has been working hard to help her fellow evangelicals understand the urgency of getting vaccinated against COVID-19.
Though she has received vociferous criticism and even death threats, she is committed to her calling: âI just feel such a sense of obligation, especially from a Christian perspective, to be the Good Samaritan, and hopefully get people to band together and still wear their mask and get a vaccine.â
