DAY 19 | States: NC & ND
DAILY TOPIC: The Poor
PRAYER FOR THE POOR
Dear Lord, we pray for those who suffer spiritual, relational and/or economic poverty. You said the poor would always be with us. Give us Your wisdom and Your heart for all kinds of lack: those who are poor in spirit, those who are lonely, and those with material needs. Teach us Your will and ways to minister effectively to those who are the least amongst us. Help us to discern their true needs accurately and to give strategically, wisely and generously. Show us how to deliver Your help, healing, companionship and comfort to those who struggle. Bring us to a renewed sense of community in America — neighbor helping neighbor according to the teachings of Your Word. Lord, grant us the heart of the Good Samaritan. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
Religion that is pure and undefiled before God, the Father, is this: to visit orphans and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unstained from the world (James 1:27).
Day 19 - Amendment 15 & 16
15th Amendment: Reserves citizens the suffrage rights regardless of their race, color, or previous slave status.

PRAYER FOR ISRAEL
Lord, thank you that the President recognized Jerusalem as the Biblical capital of Israel and moved our Embassy. We pray for peace and prosperity in Israel, and ask for an end to the violence and suffering. We pray for justice, and Your sovereign righteousness over Israel. We pray for mercy and Your Kingdom to rule over the land. Please protect the soldiers and civilians from bloodshed. Give wisdom to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and the Knesset (The legislature of Israel). May Israel remain strong, not dividing the land You gave as an inheritance to Your chosen people. May the United States continue to fully support Israel, the nation that gave us salvation through Jesus Christ.
Pray for the peace of Jerusalem, may they prosper that love thee (Psalm 122:6).
