On the call: DJ Barrett, Lyn Deal, Donna Reyman, Pat Shriver, and Kathy Zwetzig.
Psalm 32: 1, 5-7, and 10-11 Amp. Blessed [fortunate, prosperous, favored by God] is he whose transgression is forgiven. And whose sin is covered. I acknowledged my sin to You, and I did not hide my wickedness; I said, “I will confess [all] my transgressions to the Lord,” and You forgave the guilt of my sin. Therefore, let everyone who is godly pray to You [for forgiveness] in a time when You [are near and] may be found; surely when the great waters [of trial and distressing times] overflow they will not reach [the spirit in] him. You are my hiding place; You, Lord, protect me from trouble; You surround me with songs and shouts of deliverance. But he who trusts in and relies on the Lord shall be surrounded with compassion and loving kindness. Be glad in the Lord and rejoice, you righteous [who actively seek right standing with Him]; Shout for joy all you upright in heart.”
We praise and honor You in our prayers, Lord. We thank You, Holy Spirit, that You are with us. We ask You would direct our prayers.
· Government: We come into agreement with believers in our state who are praying every day for our God to rule and reign over Colorado government, that the Lord prevails in every government activity or legislation. Lord, we ask for honest and fair elections in Colorado and Morgan County. Guide Kevin Strauch, Morgan County’s clerk and recorder, in this election season. Be with Pat Shriver, our prayer partner, as she works in the election in Morgan County. Protect her and give her Your wisdom. Lord, we ask You to keep all the candidates safe.
· Schools: Lord, please put Your hand of protection and blessing over all those who are now back to school. We pray for the teachers to have time to teach and not be bogged down with paperwork. We pray the administrators will seek Your wisdom and knowledge when they place requirements on the students and teachers.
· First Responders: Thank you for all the Colorado men and women who have responded to the call to be First Responders as dispatchers, police officers, firefighters and EMTs as well as all those who work in hospital emergency rooms. Bless each one, Lord God, and their family members, with your comforting love, joy, and peace. We ask for new strategies for the medical profession as they struggle to find workers. Lord, thank You for the assistance the police department in Ft. Morgan gives to Pam Hernandez and Rising Up.
· Families and individuals: Lord, thank You for the Methodist Church and other churches who are helping with meals for the homeless in Morgan County. We ask for more help to come for those with mental illness. We ask Your angels with be present at all the gate entrances into Morgan County to alert people of any drugs, dangerous people or situations attempting to enter the county. We continue to pray for our prayer partner, Kathy Zwetzig’s healing.
· Israel: We pray for the return of all remaining hostages and healing for those who have lost loved ones. We pray that innocent civilians on both sides be protected from further bloodshed. We pray that the U.S. would stand strong with Israel, not just for Israel’s sake but also so that we would be found doing what is right and be worthy to be blessed as a nation according to Your promise in Genesis 12:3.
· Hurricane: Lord, we ask You to bring resources and help to the victims of Hurricane Helene. We boldly ask You to turn or dissipate Hurricane Milton from the shores of Florida and other US territories in the Mighty Name of Jesus! We pray in agreement with others. Matthew 18:19.
Lord, we ask for the spark of revival in Morgan County, Colorado, and our nation! We stand under the Cross that our Savior, Jesus, bore for us. We ask for eyes and ears to open so they may hear the promise of the Gospel. Lord, bring Your hope to the young people. Hebrews 6:19 NKJV “This hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and steadfast, and which enters the Presence behind the veil, where the forerunner has entered for us, even Jesus, having become High Priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek.” Amen.
