Romans 13:11 KJV-
“And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed.”

Spiritual slumber goes beyond physical sleep; it is a state of prayerlessness and neglect of our spiritual responsibilities. When we fail to engage in prayer, we essentially rely on our own strength, distancing ourselves from God’s power and presence. This disconnection leaves us vulnerable to the enemy’s attacks, making it a perilous state. By neglecting prayer, we subtly declare self-sufficiency, forgetting that our true strength lies in our relationship with God.

To overcome spiritual slumber, we must identify and deal with anything that encourages it. Excessive social media consumption, gossiping, or frequent participation in unnecessary gatherings can dull our spiritual senses, keeping us distracted from God’s purpose. These habits, while seemingly harmless, gradually lead us into complacency and weakens our prayer life.

Take a stand today and break free from anything that draws you away from prayer. Make a conscious effort to prioritize time with God over distractions. As you do, you’ll find renewed strength, focus, and spiritual alertness to walk in His will. Glory to God!

START-UP PRAYER
Father, I ask for your help in waking up from any form of spiritual slumber. Give me the strength to stay alert in the spirit and guide me away from every distraction in Jesus Name.

PRAYER FOR A NATION
BELIZE
The majority of Belizeans profess Christianity but often combine it with other religious practices including superstitions, paganism, and black magic. This diluted form of Christianity is exemplified by the ten percent of people who attend church weekly, and the 70% of pastors who are bi-vocational. Belize is a common destination for short-term mission trips, and while this provides many benefits to the nation such as reading skills, health care, and childcare, it also causes a dependent and reliant spirit amongst the nationals.

PRAYER FOR THE NATION
Father , we ask that utterance be given to the believers in Belize, that they may open their mouth boldly to make known the mystery of the gospel in Jesus Name.

PRAYER FOR THE LEADERS
Father, in the name of Jesus we pray for the leadership of this nation that they will come into the full knowledge of who you are, and be guided by your purpose for the nation, in Jesus Name.

PRAYER FOR ISRAEL
Father, in the name of Jesus we lift up prayers for Israel’s borders and those protecting them. We ask that they will receive wisdom to drive and keep out enemy forces, and to subdue every attack in Jesus Name.

PRAYER FOR UNITY IN THE CHURCH
Father, in the name of Jesus, baptize the church in our nation with the spirit of unity and oneness, that we may stand together to fulfil your purpose on the earth, in Jesus Name. 

PRAYER FOR SOULS / REVIVAL
