Pray for Country-7

Good evening! How are you? I am doing well except for the fact when someone is angry at you it is a terrible feeling. To me angry and argue are very negative words to use, because I think it adds more flames to fire when you are not angry or argue. Since I have been on this earth I have gotten mad maybe five times but the feeling is not good. I dislike being mad at a love one when I know we can solve it by communicating. So if you are mad at someone don't sleep knowing you can do something about it because you never know when you will see them again. The country we will be praying about this week is Gabon! Have a blessed day or night! Source: World Operation by Jason Mandryk

Pray for country-6

Good afternoon! How are you? I am doing well and grateful as always because you never know when you are going to leave this world. Yesterday I met someone who just lost their mother and was very very upset because he/she could not understand why God took him/her mother. In that moment I told him/her I would pray for him/her family and strength for them. At that moment I could feel what he/she was going through because the thought of loosing a love one is unimaginable, but I know it will happen. To prepare myself for moments like that I pray constantly for my mind to stay sane and to not doubt God plans. So again pray for our sisters and brothers in Christ and the lost because we need to keep our spiritual family strong. On another note the country/island we will be praying for this week is Faeroa Islands. Have a blessed day! Source: World Operations by Jason Mandryk

Let's pray for:

1. Wisdom in government is needed
2. The Faeroese need revival

Pray for Country-5

Hello! How are you? How may I help you? Questions a sales associate ask a customer in order to help them find what they are looking for. I just thought about how we should start asking our brothers and sisters in Christ these questions. If we start doing this we will be able to build our sisters and brothers up so we all can stand strong against the evil in this world. Food for thought I thought I should share. The country we will be praying for this week is Ecuador. Have a blessed day!

Pray for Country- 4

Good afternoon everyone, I am really blessed because I have my health and family and friends that love me. If you have ever watched Ghost Whisper it really put things in perceptive.
