NM Prayer Connect June 2013 Prayer Guide

Arts & Entertainment:

Rarely does a pro-life message appear in today’s pop culture, however, a song by country artist Kenny Chesney does just that.  The song, “There Goes My Life,” was released in 2003.  To view  CLICK HERE.   Pray that the message of how precious life is continues to be propagate.

Business:
Obamacare requires businesses to make available birth control pills and abortifacients on demand. Hobby Lobby has sued the Federal Government in hopes of having their deeply held moral beliefs respected by this administration.  Pray that Hobby Lobby and other Christian organizations are successful in avoiding this assault on their beliefs.

Education:
In contrast with the recent Boy Scouts of America’s decision to allow homosexual scouts into their ranks, we are in the season for Vacation Bible Schools.  Pray that the Word of the Lord will be disseminated though the Vacation Bible School experience to many, many children.

Family:
Recently the states of Minnesota and Delaware have redefined “marriage” to include same-sex couples.  The United States Supreme Count will decide on the constitutionality of two cases.  The Defense of Marriage Act defines marriage as being between one man and one woman at the federal level.  California voted for Proposition 8, which declared marriage as being between one man and one woman in that state, but was overturned by a homosexual judge.  Pray that the Supreme Court will judge in favor of the traditional family in both cases. 

Government:
Since 2010 the Federal Government, through the Internal Revenue Service, has stonewalled those whose ideology and religious beliefs differ from the current administration.  Pray for a just and moral government.

Media:
The lack of media coverage of Dr. Kermit Gosnel’s horrific medical practice regarding late term abortions points once again to a media bias.  The Philadelphia medical practice resulted in a murder conviction and a life imprisonment for Dr. Gosnel.  Pray for an honest and fair media.

Religion:
With the assault on Christian values, the time has come to stand firm for Christian beliefs.  “Pulpit Freedom Sunday, June 9” is the Sunday when pastors are urged to preach on biblical marriage. Please pray for Pulpit Freedom Sunday, June 9 and urge your pastor to preach on Christian marriage and its meaning.  For more information CLICK HERE.

April 2013 Prayer Guide

Arts & Entertainment:
The History Channel broadcast a four part series called “The Bible.”  The response was enormous and unexpected.  An estimate of 70 million persons watched the series. 
Praise God for the success and the propagation of His Word. 

Business: 
The economy remains depressed with a few glimmers of growth.  The stock market continues to rise and apartment buildings are being built, but fewer and fewer people are even looking for work.
Please pray for an improved economic recovery.

Education:
Home schooling is popular because parents do not want public schools to teach their children behavior that is immoral. There is a strong Christian homeschool community in New Mexico, and many of them are involved with the the NM Christian Association of Parent Educators (CAPE) organization which is having its annual homeschool convention this week (April 18-20) at Legacy Church in Albuquerque.
Please pray that virtue and morality will again be taught in public schools and that immoral behavior will no longer be promoted.  Praise God for the options that parents have to offer their children a Christ-centered education at home.

Family:
Judge Edward Korman, a federal judge from New York, removed the age restriction for the “morning after” pill.  No prescription is needed.  A child who thinks she might be pregnant is allowed to go to a drug store and purchase chemicals that will abort a baby.
Pray against the proliferation of abortifacients.

Government: 
The battle for traditional marriage is being waged at the Supreme Court and in Santa Fe, where the City Council is considering a Resolution that encourages County Clerks through New Mexico to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couple.  We’re thankful that none of the bills that would have redefined marriage made it through the NM Legislature this year.
Please pray that all governments will recognize only traditional, one man-one woman marriage, thus protecting freedom of speech and freedom of religion.

Media:
Please pray that the media will learn to love the truth.  Media events today tend to be slanted toward political agendas rather than the standard of seeking and reporting the truth.
Pray for truth in media.

Religion:
Thank God for a wonderful Easter season to celebrate the resurrection of our Jesus Christ!  The National Day of Prayer is coming up on Thursday, May 2, 2013.  To see a list of events in your area or to post one for your church, visit http://nationaldayofprayer.org/.  This year’s theme, “Pray for America”, is based on Matthew 12:21 which reminds us that “In His name the nations will put their hope.”  National Day of Prayer Task Force Chairman Shirley Dobson, wife of Dr. James Dobson, has said that, “The American people continue to be plagued with challenges that defy simple answers, and our hope lies in humbly seeking the Almighty’s guidance, protection, and blessing – not only on the National Day of Prayer, but throughout the year.”
Please pray for a wonderful National Day of Prayer and that many people in our sate and nation would turn their eyes to God.
