Thank you for spending time in prayer this Sunday for our church and for Yakima Valley. Below are links to this month’s scripture and prayer prompts from the team behind Pray Yakima 24/7. What an honor to join other churches across our Valley to pray over our city - our prayers matter! May God bless your time. please send us an email!
Our desire and purpose for 24/7 is to “set a watch” by connecting with Grace to pray for our Valley one day each month so that we may experience the blessings of God’s promises 24/7 for 365 days of our year. Your part is vital to this end.

The sheep that are My own hear My voice and listen to Me; I know them, and they follow Me. And I give them eternal life, and they will never, ever [by any means] perish; and no one will ever snatch them out of My hand. John 10:27-28
Power of Praise:
Psalm 47:1-3* O clap your hands Yakima, all you people; Shout to God with the voice of triumph and songs of joy. 2 For the Lord Most High is to be feared [and worshiped with awe-inspired reverence and obedience]; He is a great King over all the earth. 3 He subdues peoples under us and nations under our feet. Psalm 147:1-5 I will exalt You, my God, O King, and [with gratitude and submissive wonder] I will bless Your name forever and ever. 2 Every day I will bless You and lovingly praise You; Yes, [with awe-inspired reverence] I will praise Your name forever and ever. 3 Great is the Lord, and highly to be praised and His greatness is [so vast and profound as to be] unsearchable [incomprehensible to man]. 4 One generation shall praise Your works to another and shall declare Your mighty and remarkable acts. 5 On the glorious splendor of Your majesty and on Your wonderful works, I will meditate.
Power of Holy Spirit Outpouring:
Psalm 40:1-3 I waited patiently and expectantly for the Lord and He inclined to me and heard my cry. 2 He brought me up out of a horrible pit [of tumult and of destruction], out of the miry clay, and He set my feet upon a rock, steadying my footsteps and establishing my path. 3 He put a new song in my mouth, a song of praise to our God; Many will see and fear [with great reverence] and will trust confidently in the Lord. Joel 2:27-29* “And you shall know [without any doubt] that I am in the midst of Yakima [to protect and bless you] and that I am the Lord your God, And there is no other; My people will never be put to shame. 28 “It shall come about after this That I shall pour out My Spirit on all mankind and your sons and your daughters will prophesy, your old men will dream dreams, your young men will see visions. 29 “Even on the male and female servants I will pour out My Spirit in those days.
Power of Unity: (against Fear) Psalm 56:3 When I am afraid, I will put my trust and faith in You. 4 In God, whose word I praise; In God I have put my trust; I shall not fear. What can mere man do to me? Philippians 4:6-7 Do not be anxious or worried about anything, but in everything [every circumstance and situation] by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, continue to make your [specific] requests known to God. 7 And the peace of God [that peace which reassures the heart, that peace] which transcends all understanding, stands guard over your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
Power of Shared Testimony:
Sunday Together, National Day of Prayer, Palau City Festival, City Clean Up, Run for Jesus Marathon & March for Jesus, homeless care, food banks – all a part of bringing us to where we are today. Our Vision: is to know Our Fathers heart for our Valley; A city where there are no widows, no single moms, no orphans, no violent ones, no poverty, no oppression, no idle ones. People will no longer come to Yakima seeking welfare or handouts, but they will come seeking goodness and a hand up. The goodness of God transforms this city to a place of prosperity. A city where there is provision, resources, something for everyone, where everyone benefits. Poverty flees, violence flees, and injustice flees. A city where there is joy, laughter, fullness of life. A city of refuge, restoration and healing.
Power of Heightened Expectations:

Isaiah 40:31 But those who wait for the Lord [who expect, look for, and hope in Him] will gain new strength and renew their power; They will lift up their wings [and rise up close to God] like eagles [rising toward the sun]; They will run and not become weary, they will walk and not grow tired. Lamentations 3:24 “The Lord is my portion and my inheritance,” says my soul; “Therefore I have hope in Him and wait expectantly for Him.” Jeremiah 29:11-13 For I know the plans and thoughts that I have for you,’ says the Lord, ‘plans for peace and well-being and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope. 12 Then you will call on Me and you will come and pray to Me, and I will hear [your voice] and I will listen to you. 13 Then [with a deep longing] you will seek Me and require Me [as a vital necessity] and [you will] find Me when you search for Me with all your heart.
Power of Joy:
John 15:10-11 If you keep My commandments and obey My teaching, you will remain in My love, just as I have kept My Father’s commandments and remain in His love. 11 I have told you these things so that My joy and delight may be in you, and that your joy may be made full and complete and overflowing.
May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing [through the experience of your faith] that by the power of the Holy Spirit you will abound in hope and overflow with confidence in His promises. Romans 15:13
