The Power of a Praying® Nation

Book excerpt: In The Power of a Praying® Nation, Stormie Omartian challenges Christians to pray for the land they call home. Using a similar format found in her other bestselling books on prayer, Stormie tackles tough questions about praying for our country and offers sample prayers that readers can use to pray for government and community leaders, the heroic men and women whose job it is to protect us (police officers, firefighters, soldiers), and for the welfare and healing of our nation. The subjects Stormie covers include: Why do bad things happen to innocent people? How do we pray for our enemies? What does it mean to be “a nation whose God is the Lord”? Readers will find encouragement for today and hope for the future as they join with other believers and, as one people, offer up their country to God in prayer.
