coming. It is close at hand-Rend your heart and not your garments.
Return to the Lord your God. –Joel 2:1, 13
Anne Lotz, Bill Graham’s daughter, has called urgently for 7 days of prayer. I am a day late in this as I just found out, but we can start late. Our prayers will not count for less!
It’s the 777 Urgent Call to Prayer. Pray for 7 days in the 7th month and fast on the 7th day. “This is all about calling God’s people to pray before it’s too late, and judgment falls on our nation,” she warns. We are to pray:
- For God the Father to restrain, protect, and deliver His people from the evil that has come into our world.
- For God the Son to be exalted, magnified, and glorified in His church, in our nation, and in our lives.
- For God the Holy Spirit to fall on us in a fresh way, compelling the
church to repent of sin and our nation to return to faith in the living
God, resulting in a great national spiritual awakening.
“One of the things He has impressed on me is that we are living at the
end of human history as we know it,” said Lotz in a June 20th letter to
Pat Robertson. “Just recently,” she added, “He has given me another assignment, which
is to call His people in our nation to prayer. This assignment came
indirectly from a Syrian pastor through a National Day of Prayer
attendee. In obedience, I am blowing the trumpet…sounding the
alarm…issuing a national prayer initiative entitled 777: An Urgent Call
to Prayer. The Call is for God’s people to pray for each of the first
seven days in the seventh month: July 1-7. Then on the 7th day, July 7,
we are to pray and fast for 7 hours.
Here is the prayer for day 2. Make sure to sign up to receive these prayers via email (link below).

“God, who at various times and in various ways spoke in time past to
the fathers by the prophets, has in these last days spoken to us by His
Son, whom He has appointed Heir of all things, through whom also He made the worlds.”
- We worship You, Lord Jesus Christ, as the Father’s
only begotten Son, the One to whom the Father has given everything. You
are His Heir of all things. You made the world at Creation, You bought
it at Calvary, and it’s Your right to own and rule it…and us. You hold
the world in the palm of Your hand, yet You are the same One who sees when a sparrow falls. The same One who clothes the lilies of the field. The same One
who fed 5000 hungry men and their families with five loaves and two
fish. You have promised to meet all our needs according to the riches of
Your glory, because You are Jehovah-Jireh, the Lord Our Provider. - I worship You as _______________
- We repent of hoarding our own wealth when You have freely given us all things.
- We repent of our greed that has run up trillions of dollars of national debt.
- We repent of closing our eyes and ears to the needs of others around us because we want more for ourselves.
- We repent of allowing the material blessings You have given us to deceive us into thinking we don’t need You.
- We repent of feeling entitled to and demanding what someone else has
earned, instead of taking responsibility for ourselves and our families
as we trust You. - We repent of living as though material wealth and prosperity will bring happiness.
- We repent of being consumed with worry over our financial, material needs as though You are not sufficient for all things.
- I repent of___________
- We choose to give You all that we have and all that
we own, not just 10%. We trust You to give us, in return, our next
breath and to supply, not everything we want, but everything we need. - I choose now to__________
- We ask You to reveal to us the debt we owe You so that we can sincerely acknowledge it, then forgive us as we forgive our debtors.
- We ask that You open our eyes to the spiritual as well as the
material needs of others, and use us to act on Your behalf to meet those
needs. - We ask that You give us a fresh vision of Your power and wealth, so
that we would be encouraged as we look forward to the Home You are
preparing for us. - We ask that You give us courage to see, believe and live in the
Light of eternity, so that we resist the attractiveness of temptation,
sin, selfishness and evil and abandon ourselves to Your will. - I humbly ask that________
