God wants to teach us to pray — for our nation, communities, families, and even our own daily needs. He desires for us to have an ongoing conversation with him to share whatever may be on our hearts. As we pray, we discover that He hears us and moves.

Conversations with Christians Engaged continues its series called Prayer + Intercession: How Talking to God Can Change Everything with an episode focused on praying for our nation.

What does it mean to pray for the nation? Why is it important? With so much going on in our individual lives — why should we take any time to pray for America, to pray corporately, or to pray passionately for our culture, government, churches, and educational systems? Will Ford, Co-Founding Director of 818 The Sign, has been one of those intercessors and ministry leaders who has been standing in the gap for America for racial reconciliation, the unborn, and for churches to rise up in boldness for decades. This conversation will impact your heart for America.
