Strategic – United – Sustainable

Praying around the throne, around the clock and 

around the county

July-August 2026

In 2 Peter 1:3-5 we get this message:  3By his divine power, God has given us everything we need for living a godly life. We have received all of this by coming to know him, the one who called us to himself by means of his marvelous glory and excellence. 4 And because of his glory and excellence, he has given us great and precious promises. These are the promises that enable you to share his divine nature and escape the world’s corruption caused by human desires. (NLT)

And Paul tells us in Romans 4:18-21 about Abraham’s faith:

20 Abraham never wavered in believing God’s promise. In fact, his faith grew stronger, and in this he brought glory to God. 21He was fully convinced that God is able to do whatever he promises. (NLT)

So, the message, and the focus of this prayer guide, is to see the world and its challenges through the filter of God’s promises. Let us pray God’s promises (being FULLY assured HE can do what HE promises) over each section of this prayer guide. Then by faith we know God hears us when we pray, so let us with great expectancy look for the hand of God at work in our world!

Pray for your neighborhood – your Family, Church, Schools.

Jesus not only sent us as witnesses or missionaries to our neighborhoods, but He empowered us with the Holy Spirit to go and be His hands and feet. Read Philippians 1:6.

Choose ~3 neighbor families to pray for with your family. Get to know them and pray for the Holy Spirit to touch their hearts so that they ask you about your source of hope.

Praying for Whatcom County

Art & Media

Pray for all the media attention and outreach efforts during the World Cup – and in the weeks and months that follow. See www.victorybeyondthecup.com as an example.

And he said to them, “The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few. Therefore pray earnestly to the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into his harvest. (Luke 10:2, ESV)

Business

In the beginning God worked and then He created man, in His image, to ‘tend His garden or to keep the work going!’ Let’s pray that all employees will understand that when they go to work, they are part of God’s eternal plan, and that truthfully everyone is working for Him.

23 Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men, 24 knowing that from the Lord you will receive the inheritance as your reward. You are serving the Lord Christ. (Colossians 3:23-24 ESV)

Church

Unity – Several pastors in small prayer groups are sharing pulpits with each other. This is a sign of deepening trust that leads to unity in the Spirit. Let us pray for the body of Christ in Whatcom County to walk together in answer to Jesus’ prayer in John 17:20-21.

20 “I do not ask for these only, but also for those who will believe in me through their word, 21that they may all be one, just as you, Father, are in me, and I in you, that they also may be in us, so that the world may believe that you have sent me. (ESV)

Development

Compassion fatigue is real (this for both physical health care providers and for counselors/social workers). The burdens patients/clients foist upon the care providers (with or without permission) are heavy and hard to carry. Christians are called to be compassionate but need God’s help to carry the burden. Showing love to the unloveable is extremely difficult. This is the #1 reason for burnout in health care.

Pray with Jesus in Matthew 11: 28-30, “Then Jesus said, “Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you. Let me teach you, because I am humble and gentle at heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30 For my yoke is easy to bear, and the burden I give you is light.” (NLT)

Pray that truth will overcome deception concerning abortion. Pray that local pastors will recognize it as a moral issue far more than a political one.

Also, Youth for Life is in September. This is a prayer walk led by the younger generation. Pray for 15 youth groups to get involved this year.

Education

Pray that Christians will rise up to fill our classrooms so they can share the love of Christ with the students in our buildings. The need is great.

“But the seed in the good soil, these are the ones who have heard the word in an honest and good heart, and hold it fast, and bear fruit with perseverance. (Luke 8:15, NASB95)

We know God’s promises of peace and purpose for both teachers and students. Yet we can see that there is so much anxiety in the world. Pray teachers and students will put their faith in Him allowing for better education.

First Responders

We see so many people that are reaching that time in their lives where they need to make a change in their living situation. For many it is past time for a change, but it is a difficult decision for many. Please pray for these vulnerable ones, and for the responders to be filled with the compassion of Jesus.

Government

International:  Keep praying for peace in the Middle East, for each government involved to be led by God for His purposes.

National: Pray that 250-year celebrations will lead to rededication to Jesus. Pray 2 Chronicles 7:14 over our county and country.

Local:  Whatcom county and state primary elections Aug 4

Health Care

As a Church, let us pray for doctors to bring hope where there is despair, to bring up those who are willing to walk alongside patients in their suffering and speak against MAID (Medical Aid In Dying).

May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope. (Romans 15:13)

Praying for the World

International Missions

Great Commission

Project 92 (P92) – Persecution continues to rise in India, leaving people in fear, in jail, or without a home. Pray that God will supply all their needs – physical, emotional, spiritual, material (Phil 4:19), and continue to use them to be lights in the darkness.

And my God will supply all your needs according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus. (Philippians 4:19, NASB95)

Israel

Prayer for Israel to turn to and trust in the Lord that He would make their path straight.

Proverbs 3: 5-6, Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. 6 In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths.

Native Americans

The Church is ONE body with many members (1 Cor 12:12). Let us pray that in this season God will unite His Church into one body – Native, White, Chinese, Ukrainian, Hispanic and all – all races and styles of worship. Pray that all local Bible believing churches who hold Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord will show mutual love toward each other.

Psalm 133 – 1 Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brothers to dwell together in unity! 2 It is like the precious oil upon the head, coming down upon the beard, Even Aaron’s beard, Coming down upon the edge of his robes.
