On Mondays, we pray for the United States, one state at a time.
This week we lift in prayer the state of Illinois.
Since today is “Opening Day” for Major League Baseball, fans of the Chicago Cubs serve as a living illustration of perseverance and long-suffering patience.
Perseverance in the ministry of prayer is exactly what Jesus calls each Christian to.
If Illinois is where you call home, please leave a comment and tell us some specific ways we can pray!
