Please join the growing number of Christians fasting and praying for our country these next few critical days. "[I]f my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land." (2 Chronicles 7:14)

I do not know what God's will is for our country, he may want to give us Obama as President to give us what we deserve, but I do know that everyone should vote their faith before anything else and that we should pray that God's will be done in these elections. Please hit your knees and pray (fast if you wish).

Yes, I saw clearly how effective prayer and fasting were for the VP debate. God’s hand was all over Sarah’s performance. And He has given her to us so there must be an OPPORTUNITY for victory somewhere here.

I, too, have had moments of discouragement. I go up and down every couple of hours! Today, as I was “randomly” looking for comfort in the Word I kept coming across passages about calling out to Him in the day of trouble: Ps 77:1 (I will cry out to God with my voice, even to God with my voice, and He will give ear and hearken to me); Ps 50 (And call on me in the day of trouble; I will deliver you, and you shall honor and glorify me); and Ps 27: 5-7(For in the day of trouble He will hide me in His shelter . . . Hear, O Lord, when I cry aloud). It just happened to be the message that kept standing out to me today.

I am so GLAD to hear that you are fasting and praying for the election’s outcome. I believe there are many!

Been fasting since Sunday night. I am very encouraged by how a remnant of believers have been prompted by the Holy Spirit to fast and pray for this election. This election is truly a spiritual war and it can only be won with fasting and prayer.
