31 Days of Prayer For Our Nation
Old Jeremiah, writing to a nation that was self-deceived and under leaders that were themselves deceived, dictated words of counsel straight from the Lord, hoping to redirect them to the source of true wisdom and restoration. Here’s what He said,
Jeremiah 17:5-8 5 Thus says the Lord: “Cursed is the man who trusts in man and makes flesh his strength, whose heart turns away from the Lord. 6 He is like a shrub in the desert, and shall not see any good come. He shall dwell in the parched places of the wilderness, in an uninhabited salt land. 7 “Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord, whose trust is the Lord. 8 He is like a tree planted by water, that sends out its roots by the stream, and does not fear when heat comes, for its leaves remain green, and is not anxious in the year of drought, for it does not cease to bear fruit.”

We recognize that the situation we face goes far deeper than party politics and ideologies and is a reflection of the spiritual war for the souls of all people. As Jeremiah recorded, the Lord warns that the deception is complete when we place our future hope in human nature and forget that our Father is the sole place of refuge. Further, the Bible reminds us repeatedly that He is never surprised by human events and that He puts great stock in the prayers of His children when they turn to Him in humility.
This summer, a group of pastors and leaders from Tillamook County churches were asked by Linda Hanratty of the Tillamook County Prayer Team to collaborate on a book of prayers written to address 31 specific areas of need that America faces now and in the future. Linda then edited the book and ordered it up for publishing in time for praying people to join in this Fall.
In light of these needs, in the aftermath of the Covid pandemic, and in anticipation of the November election and what may follow, we’re asking that you join other members of FCC, as well as dozens of churches throughout Oregon, in a month of diligent and solemn prayer asking our Father to heal our nation.
The books are currently gone from the church office, but you can secure a copy by ordering through Amazon for $3.99 (click here). Delivery takes a few days, so order soon.
