For Lent, and perhaps beyond, I have felt led to pray for one country each day--excluding days when I am in church or days when I need to pray all day for some other concern. (For example, on the day of the funeral of a dear friend's mother, I prayed for my friend and her family all day.)
I really try to ask God to lead me to the country, the need I may or may not know. And I say a prayer for the country itself, and then throughout the day, I say prayers for the country, its leaders, its people, the Followers of Christ there--or whatever I feel led to pray for at the time.
Thus far, I have prayed for the U.S.A., Ireland, Iran, and Australia.
When I feel led to choose a country and pray for it that day, I also post the flag of that country on my Facebook and indicate that that is the country I will pray for that day.
While I don't know EXACTLY why God has led me to pray for individual nations during this time, I trust Him, and I know that somehow these prayers are about the harvest. Somehow, something GOOD is breaking loose--there are things in the heavenlies happening in these nations!!!
Praise the Lord!
