00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.980
Bible -based prayer against famine. Heavenly

00:00:02.980 --> 00:00:06.839
Father, You are Jehovah Jireh, the Lord who provides.

00:00:07.620 --> 00:00:12.140
Genesis 22, verse 14. We come before You in humility

00:00:12.140 --> 00:00:15.720
and desperation, as Your people once did, crying

00:00:15.720 --> 00:00:18.820
out in times of drought and famine. The eyes

00:00:18.820 --> 00:00:21.820
of all look to You, and You give them their food

00:00:21.820 --> 00:00:25.839
at the proper time. You open Your hand and satisfy

00:00:25.839 --> 00:00:30.679
the desires of every living thing. Psalm 145,

00:00:30.780 --> 00:00:35.640
verses 15 -16. Lord, we ask You to open Your

00:00:35.640 --> 00:00:39.640
hand again. Let the heavens give rain, and the

00:00:39.640 --> 00:00:43.780
earth bring forth its fruit. Zechariah 8, verse

00:00:43.780 --> 00:00:47.939
12. Where the land is barren, where crops have

00:00:47.939 --> 00:00:51.979
failed, where children go hungry, let Your mercy

00:00:51.979 --> 00:00:56.020
flow. Forgive us, Lord, for sins of greed, waste,

00:00:56.479 --> 00:00:59.490
and neglect. If my people who are called by my

00:00:59.490 --> 00:01:02.570
name will humble themselves and pray and seek

00:01:02.570 --> 00:01:06.310
my face and turn from their wicked ways, then

00:01:06.310 --> 00:01:10.250
I will hear from heaven and will heal their land."

00:01:10.250 --> 00:01:14.909
2 Chronicles 7 14 We ask you to heal our lands,

00:01:15.170 --> 00:01:18.829
O God. Restore the fields, replenish the storehouses,

00:01:19.409 --> 00:01:22.590
cause rivers to flow in dry places, and make

00:01:22.590 --> 00:01:46.510
the wilderness blossom again. Isaiah 35 Let this

00:01:46.510 --> 00:01:49.370
promise be fulfilled now in our time, O Lord.

00:01:50.010 --> 00:01:52.810
Use us as vessels of Your justice and mercy.

00:01:53.409 --> 00:01:56.310
Help us not to grow weary in doing good. but

00:01:56.310 --> 00:02:00.209
to give, serve, and pray until famine is turned

00:02:00.209 --> 00:02:03.150
into feasting. Though the fig tree does not bud

00:02:03.150 --> 00:02:06.109
and there are no grapes on the vines, yet I will

00:02:06.109 --> 00:02:09.150
rejoice in the Lord. I will be joyful in God

00:02:09.150 --> 00:02:14.949
my Savior." Habakkuk 3, 17 to 18. Even now, we

00:02:14.949 --> 00:02:18.370
trust in you. You are our rock and our redeemer.

00:02:19.009 --> 00:02:22.069
Let the hungry be filled. Let the suffering find

00:02:22.069 --> 00:02:25.520
relief. Let your kingdom come. and your will

00:02:25.520 --> 00:02:29.620
be done on earth as it is in heaven. In Jesus'

00:02:29.900 --> 00:02:31.520
name we pray. Amen.
