People will mock those who prioritize prayer.

Gather and pray anyway.

Gathering to pray with people of peace is life-giving.

Kingdom-centered prayers are life-giving.

Healing prayers for the Church and her unity are life-giving.

Prayers for the fearful are life-giving.

Prayers for peaceful officers and military are life-giving.

Prayers for business owners to be made whole is life-giving.

Prayers for the criminal elements, looters and opportunists are life-giving.

Prayers for those who lust and plan for violence and destruction are life-giving.

Prayers for hearts in cities, suburbs, and rural towns alike are life-giving.

Prayers to see how God is moving in the midst of destruction are life-giving.

Prayers for civic leaders are life-giving.

Prayers to quell violence and destruction are life-giving.

People will mock you for prioritizing prayer. They will mock you for organizing concerted times prayer together with other Christians.

Expect to be mocked by people outside the church and, surprisingly, by people inside the Church.

Don’t let that stop you.
Pray anyway.
