“For Such a Time as This!”
Esther 4:14
Pray for the United States of America
‘Pray the States!’
In Esther’s Warriors Ministry, we began in 2012 ‘Praying the States’ for healing for our Nation. Now more than ever before our great United States of America needs focused, dedicated prayer.
We are commissioned as prayer warriors to prayer for those in leadership. This is not about political party. This is about praying for those in authority in this country to have wisdom and discernment.
This country was dedicated to our Lord Jesus Christ for His glory and purpose on April 29, 1607, by Reverend Robert Hunt on the shores of Jamestown, Virginia. In his declaration Reverend Hunt said, “…from these very shores the Gospel shall go forth to not only this New World, but the entire world.” That is our history. It cannot be changed, erased or undone by those who seek our demise.
Now is clearly the time to go before our King with humble hearts and intercede with clear intention for our future.
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 Ohio, admitted to the Union March 1, 1803, in prayer. Pray for wisdom and discernment for the political leaders, pastors and church leaders, the people residing in Ohio and for all in authority 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 for that state 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!’
If you have not yet made the decision to accept Jesus Christ into your heart, do it now. Do not wait another minute. Speak to Him from your heart (for it is always a heart issue). Tell Him you have fallen short in your life. Sincerely apologize for your sins. Ask Him to cleanse you and come into your heart and be Lord over your life. From this moment forward, let His Spirit guide you along the narrow road that leads to everlasting life!
“Yet who knows whether you have come to the Kingdom for such a time as this?”

“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.”
2 Chronicles 7:14
” I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men; for kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty.”
