We do not have to tell you that this is a historic and
pivotal moment in our nation’s history. We are just weeks away from one of the
most consequential elections that America has had—one that will determine the
kind of nation we will be. At the same time, we are in the midst of a global
pandemic that has claimed more than 200,000 lives, an economic crisis that has
resulted in the loss of millions of jobs, and a racial reckoning that is
holding America accountable to its racist past and trying to loosen the
ironclad grip that white supremacy has on our nation
If
ever there was a time to pray and fast, that time is now!
Yet, we
know from our scriptures that sometimes it takes prayer and fasting to
move heaven and earth! When wondering why they could not cast an evil spirit
out of a boy the disciples asked Jesus what they had done wrong. He responded,
“…This kind can come out by nothing but prayer and fasting.” (Mark
9:29, NKJV) In other words, fasting is one of the weapons of our warfare. This
is why we are asking you to
join us as Black Clergy and allies in a 40-Day Prayer Fast for a Free, Fair &
Safe 2020 Election. Click the link below to sign the letter.
We will
begin the Prayer Fast on Friday, September 25th through
Tuesday, November 3rd (ending at sundown). We invite you during this time
to fast in whatever way you are able and to remember to pray daily for our
nation and for the election. A prayer guide is now being developed to lead us
in our daily devotion time and a Facebook Live Prayer Hour will be held prior to
the election. Details will follow.
We hope
you will join us and be steadfast in prayer and fasting for our nation. There
is so much at stake for our communities in this election that we want to
bombard heaven with our petitions, trusting and believing that God will hear
our cries and answer our call for justice, mercy and, a fair and safe election.
Please
feel free to share this invitation with your networks. We know that it only
takes two or three gathered for God to be in our midst. Imagine what heavenly
power we may unleash if we join our voices together in prayer in the 40 days
leading up to the election! Truly, we will be able to move valleys of despair,
obstacles of white supremacy, and barriers of injustice to mountains of hope
and healing. Let’s do our part. then watch God work for our good!
