In Esther’s Warriors Ministry, we began in 2012 ‘praying the states’ for healing for our Nation. Queen Esther went before the king to intercede for her people. We go before the King to intercede for our Nation ‘for such a time as this’ (Esther 4:14). We pray for each state in the order of admission to the Union and will continue. Our Nation more than ever needs consistent, diligent prayer cover state by state.
This week please cover New York, admitted to the Union July 26, 1788, in prayer. Pray for wisdom and discernment for the political leaders, pastors and church leaders, the people residing in New Yorkand for all in our Nation.
Each state is important in forming our United States of America. We commit to pray for a different state each week so we not only provide prayer cover but also to make us aware that our country is bigger than the space we personally occupy. These are our United States. Let us pray that we will arise united ‘for such a time as this!’
God promises us in 2 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.” (Emphasis added) Holding our country in prayer state by state reminds each of us of the importance of seeking God for our safety and future.
United we will stand together in this season of our history. These are our United States. Let us join together that we will arise united ‘for such a time as this!’
