CHRISTIAN PRAYER FOCUS IN 2025

In Light of Events in America and Around the World

“If my people who are called by My name will humble themselves and pray, seek My face, turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, forgive their sins and heal their land.” (2 Chron. 7:14)

  1. Pray for Wisdom and Discernment.  For yourself and other believers to discern truth from lies. To recognize the difference between biblical values and political agendas.

Current Example: With rapidly changing narratives in the media and debates over digital censorship, believers need discernment in what they hear, share and believe.  (James 1:5, 1 John 4:1)

2. Pray for Government Leaders.  That God would raise up righteous, truth-seeking leaders.  That those in power would value justice, humility and integrity.

Current Example:  As 2025 legislative sessions debate religious expression, parental rights, and gender identity laws, pray that leaders make decisions that uphold godly principles.  (1 Timothy 2:1-2, Proverbs 29:2, Micah 6:8)

3. Pray for Protection of Religious Freedom.  That believers may continue to worship, preach and live our faith freely.  That laws restricting biblical speech or conscience-based decisions are blocked.

Current Example:  Several states are proposing or passing laws that may criminalize biblical counseling on sexuality.  Stand in prayer for continued liberty.  (Isaiah 54:17, Acts 5:29)

4. Pray for the Church.  That the Church (Body of Christ) would be united, bold, and rooted in truth.  That leaders repent where needed and lead with holiness.

Current Example:  The Church is divided over political issues and social justice topics. Pray for unity that centers on Christ alone.  (2 Chronicles 7:14, 1 Peter 4:17, John 17:20-23)

5. Pray for the Next Generation.  That children are protected from confusion and false teaching.  That parents and Christian educators boldly train them in truth.

Current Example:  School curricula nationwide include lessons on gender identity and sexuality that conflict with biblical views.  Pray for courage and influence in education.  (Deuteronomy 6:5-7, Proverbs 22:6)

6. Pray for Justice and Mercy in the Nation.  That courts and systems uphold truth and righteousness. That all communities experience fairness and dignity.

Current Example: Legal debates over immigration, police reform, and voting rights highlight deep divisions. Pray for justice that reflects God’s heart.  (Amos 5:24, Isaiah 1:17)

7. Pray for Preparedness and Courage.  That Christians are spiritually alert and not fearful.  That we are prepared to endure hardship and remain faithful.

Current Example:  Global instability, economic uncertainty, and increased hostility toward Christians mean we must be spiritually ready.  (Joshua 1:9, 2 Timothy 3:12, Psalm 91)

8. Pray for Revival and a Harvest of Souls.  That trials lead many to repentance and salvation.  That the Church rises to boldly proclaim Jesus.

Current Example:  Despite challenges, there’s hunger for hope and truth… pray for revival in schools, government and media. (Luke 10:2, Romans 10:14-15)
