Urgent call to prayer from Community Connections

Your First Southern Baptist Community Connection and Prayer Ministry Teams are convinced that our only hope in the battle for the soul of America is prayer. We believe God put President Bush in office largely for the current situation regarding the Supreme Court nomination. If we, the Body of Christ, do not arise now with a massive prayer movement and turn the tide of this battle, history will reveal that the soul of America was lost on our watch. Church, we have come too far and worked too hard, and more importantly, too much is at stake to lose this spiritual war now.

Until the judicial nominee is confirmed, we urge you to please join us in committing to fast and pray:

• Pray for President Bush: for wisdom, strength and boldness. Pray against any deception or compromise. Pray that any counsel inconsistent with God’s will would not be received. Pray that he clearly hears only God’s will.
• Pray for the Senate that they confirm the right choice. Pray against filibustering of God’s chosen person. Pray that there will be no compromise among conservatives.
• Pray for the appointees: We believe God has groomed and shaped the perfect person for the Court. Pray that he or she is found, appointed and confirmed. Pray that he or she has strength and wisdom for the battle.
• Pray the Word: Isaiah 1:26; Psalms 2; Psalms 24; Isaiah 9:6-7 and others God will show you.

Praying church, arise! We can win this battle for the control of the number one entry point over the last 50 years of moral and spiritual decay in America. It will only happen "if my people who are called by my name will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways"!
