We encourage you to pray for your nation wherever you are! Pray for our world, for the rulers of our world, for peace, and for God to condition our world to be receptive to the good news message of Jesus and His Kingdom. Pray what is on your heart. I'd love for you to share what you are praying for on this day of prayer on my blog:

Paul's words to Timothy are a fitting reminder on this special day of prayer!
I urge you, first of all, to pray for all people. Ask God to help them; intercede on their behalf, and give thanks for them. Pray this way for kings and all who are in authority so that we can live peaceful and quiet lives marked by godliness and dignity. This is good and pleases God our Savior, Mediator who can reconcile God and humanity — the man Christ Jesus. He gave his life to purchase freedom for everyone. This is the message God gave to the world at just the right time (1 Timothy 2:1-6 NLT).
