We Are The People

Genesis 29:15-18 ¹⁵ Then Laban said to Jacob, “Because you are my relative, should you therefore serve me for nothing? Tell me, what should your wages be?” ¹⁶ Now Laban had two daughters: the name of the elder was Leah, and the name of the younger was Rachel. ¹⁷ Leah’s eyes were delicate, but Rachel was beautiful of form and appearance. ¹⁸ Now Jacob loved Rachel; so he said, “I will serve you seven years for Rachel your younger daughter.”

Good evening and welcome to the Sunday Night Edition of “We are the People” Prayer for America.  Every Sunday we bring together the hearts of intercessors that choose to invest a minimum of 15 minutes in prayers of agreement between the hours of 6:00p.m. and 9:00p.m. using the focus point listed below as a guide. May God bless you for your concern for America’s future expressed in prayer tonight.  We encourage you to join us in prayer daily and invite others to join us.

Jacob was quick to tell Laban what he would do for Rachel’s hand in marriage but he did not think things through before he made the deal.

Prayer Focus #1 Pray that those who are in the legislative branch of our government will not make hasty deals that will cause difficult days because they did not consider the matters before them.

Prayer Focus #2 Now we know that Rachel was God’s choice for Jacob but reading of Rachel’s beauty it seems Jacob went after the attractiveness of Rachel and chose her. Pray that our leaders will look below the surface in making international decisions.

Prayer Focus #3 It seems that Jacob quickly entered into a 7 year agreement which we will see later was a bad decision. Pray that there will be much discussion among our leadership concerning long international agreements.
