Psalm 33 

 ¹² Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD,

 

One of our team members shared this scripture in an email to me.  What an encouragement it was at that moment!!

 

As you are praying daily, please take a moment to share anything you hear God saying.  It will be an encouragement to all the team as we pray together.

 

Our State motto is "Under God the people rule".  As we pray together, I believe we will see that motto come to mean something special to people all accross our State!  

 

New people are joining our prayer effort daily, but we haven't yet reached the 1,000 I believe God directed me to gather for prayer.  You can help by passing on this payer challenge to your church, club, friends and family. Encourage them to join us as we pray for South Dakota.  Please share this call to pray!!!

 

2 Chronicles 7:14 

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 I will forgive their sin and will heal their land.

 

South Dakota needs a God fearing Governor; someone who is willing to call His people to pray and seek direction in these troubled times.  We need State Legislators, City and County officials and school board members who will look to God for direction as they lead the people of this state. 

 

I am asking 1,000 people for a commitment to pray with me in November, December and January. 

 

This is the daily prayer assignment:

1. Ask God to give us a Governor who serves Him.
2. Ask God to speak to men and women who will run for office throughout the state.
3. Ask God to send revival to His people and cause them to support God fearing candidates for every elective office in our State. 

Many have already joined together.  If you believe you are one of the 1,000 called to pray, please email (send email to sdpray@ghowie.com ) to say you are joining me.  If you know someone else who may want to join our prayer team, feel free to share this with them, and ask them to email their contact information so we can keep them informed.  Through January, we will be sharing with each other what we are seeing and hearing.  I am excited to see what God will do as we begin to pray together!

It worked for Georgia. Last year during a severe drought, our governor prayed for rain. Now our lakes are full.

It worked for Georgia. Last year during a severe drought, our governor prayed for rain. Now our lakes are full.

And Atlanta had the most rainfall in one day just this week! The Lord answered. I hope the Governor remembers to say "thank you".

Even one leper remmebered to do that.

Let’s not forget the “FLOOD OF 2009.” I believe God answered the people’s prayers but the State was not prepared for the amount of rainfall the LORD sent!
Mixed blessings is an understatement!I am thinking of the poor 29 year old father with 2 children working to pay for a gravestone for his wife, the only death in the Georgia FLood.People are still homeless because Georgia was not prepared for their prayers being answered.
