Listen to Praying the Promises
Mark 9:23 KJV– “Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth.”
You may have entered this year feeling disappointed and uninspired to set new goals because of past failures. This feeling often leaves deep scars that undermine your faith in God. If left unchecked, it can lead to doubt and stagnation. When belief fades, it can be challenging trusting in God’s promises again.
Choosing to believe again is a bold statement of faith that declares confidence in God’s power to restore and redeem. Our opening text reveals that nothing will be held back from anyone who dares to believe in God. Belief is not a one-time act but a continuous exercise of trusting God regardless of visible results. When you stand firm in faith, even in the face of failure or delays, you create room for God to manifest His mighty works. Believing again reconnects you with God’s limitless possibilities and invites Him to perform wonders in your life.
Today, cast aside the doubts that have built up over time. Come to God with renewed faith, confident that His Word never fails. Speak life over every situation where you have lost hope and expect God to turn things around for your good. Hallelujah!

PRAYER FOR A NATION:
CAMBODIA
Since the 15th century, Buddhism has been the national religion in Cambodia. Today 85 percent of the population is Buddhist, while less than two percent is Evangelical Christian. In spite of past governmental attempts to eliminate all religions, Christianity has survived. Christians have worshiped openly since 1990, and indigenous church planters have established many new churches. The overwhelming social and emotional traumas of the past have left people open to the gospel. Mature Christian leadership is crucial to mobilize the churches to meet the needs of the people today.
PRAYER FOR THE NATION:
Father, in the name of Jesus, we ask that You bring healing to the hearts of the Cambodian people. May Your truth bring freedom from every chain of darkness and pain from the past. Open doors for the Gospel to be shared boldly, and let many come to know You as the true God, in Jesus’ Name.
PRAYER FOR THE LEADERS:
Father, in the Name of Jesus, we pray that Cambodia’s leaders be filled with wisdom and compassion. May they enact policies that promote freedom of worship and the well-being of all citizens. Touch their hearts and lead them to seek Your guidance in all their decisions, in Jesus’ Name.

Father, in the name of Jesus, we pray that You continue to watch over and protect Israel. May Your plans for this nation be fulfilled, drawing the eyes of the world to Your faithfulness and power, and leading many to know You, in Jesus’ Name.

Father, in the name of Jesus, we pray that You unite Cambodian churches in love, purpose, and faith. May they support one another, rise above divisions, and work together to be a light for the nation. Let them operate in discernment and strength to resist every spiritual attack, in Jesus’ Name.
PRAYER FOR SOULS / REVIVAL:
Father, in the Name of Jesus, we pray that You ignite a hunger for truth and salvation among the people of Cambodia. Pour out Your Spirit and awaken hearts to seek You. Let revival spread across this land, bringing countless souls into Your Kingdom, in Jesus’ Name.
