Honoring Women And Children In A World At WarSample

Blessing of the Land & Farming

All of creation groans, waiting eagerly for the time when the effects of weeds, thorns, pestilence, drought, and famine will be broken, and the earth will be as it was in the beginning before sin entered the world. So much has gone wrong in our fulfilling the role You gave us in Eden to care for and protect creation.

May the women in each nation who are followers of Christ repent of any innocent bloodshed, wrongs, idolatries, and abominations. Even more will humble themselves, pray, and seek Your face. Then as each woman prays in the power of the Holy Spirit over the land You have provided, she will experience Your blessing and Your bounty. Bring people and resources into her life to show her how to increase the fertility and usefulness of the land and water. In faith she will come out and shout for joy for Your supernatural provision. Her neighbors will stand in awe of You, Jehovah-Jireh (the LORD our Provider).

Bless the work of those who eke out a meager, subsistent existence. Because of the atoning work of Christ, You are able and willing to make up for the years that the locusts have eaten so there will be plenty to eat. All will see Your merciful hand and praise Your name. Only You can change dry, unfruitful ground into a land flowing with milk and honey. Open the heavens and bring the right amount of rain in its season. The produce of the ground will abound in Your prosperity. You will bless their baskets and their kneading bowls.

For those in war-torn areas where it is difficult or dangerous to work, bring peace and safety. We ask for guardian angels to surround and protect women and children as they travel to and from their gardens.
