Daily Prayer Guide 2021

URGENT PRAYER IS NEEDED!

Here is how you can specifically pray daily. Pray the numbered prayer matching the given day of the month. March 29 the George Floyd murder trial began, involving former Minneapolis Police Officer Derek Chauvin. The News Media anticipates this trial is likely to be one of the most closely watched trials in decades. We are asking all Believers to PRAY that God will protect everyone who could be at all affected by this Trial, and to Pray that any Unrest or Anger would be diminished by God (regardless of the outcome). We pray that God will protect the Twin Cities, and protect ALL of Minnesota (and all Metro Areas across the USA) from all dangers.

• • DAY 1: Dear God, we know You are in complete control of what happens. We rejoice that You CAN and WILL work good in the big picture.
  • DAY 2: Grant justice, mercy and grace to all involved. Remind us You have the FINAL SAY, and You are fair to all, and You will judge all (including each of us).
  • DAY 3: Guide Judge Cahill as he sets the parameters for the trial. Grant him divine wisdom to rule fairly. Keep the Judge and his family safe throughout the trial.
  • DAY 4: Impress upon all of us the urgent need to be in much prayer and fasting for these days. Remind us that Little prayer means little spiritual power. And No prayer means no power.
    DAY 5: Direct Gov. Tim Walz, Mpls. Mayor Fry and St. Paul Mayor Carter to make wise security decisions, to respond with calmness to all voices & circumstances.
