In the United States alone, there are enough tragic events, natural disasters, and political and social mayhem to fill hours and hours of video highlights. We shake our heads at all the craziness and go on with our lives. If there is a tornado, hurricane, or flood in part of our country, we pray and maybe even respond to the need. As long as it doesn’t affect our lives directly, we tend to forget and go about our lives until the next big event. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not judging. I’m confessing that I do the same thing. We often offer up prayers for our nation at memorials and national observances, but is prayer for this country part of our daily lives? Often, I feel very helpless. I’m just one person. What possible difference could I make in this chaotic world? The Bible has the answer. James 5:16 – The effectual, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much. II Chronicles 7:14 – If my people who are called by my name will humble themselves, and pray and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and heal their land. (Note the four conditions to the response). Jeremiah 33:3 – Call to Me, and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things, which you do not know. Prayer is mentioned one hundred and thirteen times in the Bible so it must be important to our lives. If we would seriously commit to praying for our homes, loved ones, communities, country and our world, I believe we would see God work in miraculous ways, not only in our world, but in our own hearts and lives.

We have a song titled “Who Will Pray”, that is a call to action for all of us to pray for all of the things I listed previously. I believe that we are at a point in time that we can no longer afford to take prayer lightly. I have made a commitment to pray a minimum of one hour a week for our nation. Will you join me? Jesus, in the Garden of Gethsemane, asked his disciples to watch and pray. When He found them sleeping, he asked, “Could you not tarry one hour”? Can we not tarry one hour for our nation, our churches, our communities, and our families? We may feel inadequate on our own, but together we can band together, pray for this nation, and see “great and mighty things” happen. So the Talleys are starting the Who Will Pray Campaign. The hour of prayer can be divided during the weekdays for twelve minutes or ten minutes for six days or one hour one day, however you would like. We will be posting specific things to pray for periodically to add to your own list. Would you be willing to commit to this campaign? If so, sign your name below by posting a comment. We want to get as many people, as we can, to join together and pray. Let’s band together to make a difference.
