Turn Down the News and Turn Up the Prayers

"Now rescue Your beloved people. Answer and save us by Your power." (Psalm 108:6)

Question: What would the USA look like if we watched, read, and listened to the news only as much as we pray, and we prayed as much as we watch, read, and listen to the news?

Answer: God says, "If My people who are called by My name will humble themselves and pray and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways, I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sins and heal and restore their land" (2 Chron. 7:14).

The prayer dare: 

Week One: Clock the number of hours you watch, read, and listen to the news and the number of hours (or minutes) you pray.

Week Two: Switch the timetables.
