Sundown September 27 to sundown September 28 is a day mandated for fasting and repentance called “The Day of Atonement” on God’s calendar. I am not Jewish, but have come to understand that the feasts and festivals God established have great meaning and importance for us all. As a nation it means we would come into alignment with God’s timetable to fast and humble ourselves before Him. We need divine intervention desperately.
In America’s history, we have had calls to prayer as a nation, but very few times have we come together as a nation to fast and pray. It requires a true humbling of ourselves, doesn’t it?
It happened in 1832 when an Asiatic cholera outbreak gripped New York. U.S. Senator Henry Clay asked for a Joint Resolution of Congress to request President Jackson to declare: “A Day of Public Humiliation, Prayer and Fasting to be observed by the people of the United States with religious solemnity.”
It happened again in 1849 when another epidemic (this time from India) struck America. It killed 5,000 in New York, 8,000 in Cincinnati, 3,000 in New Orleans, 5,000 in St. Louis (which was about 6% of the city’s population) and 3500 in Chicago.
In response, on August 3, 1849, President Zachary Taylor proclaimed a National Day of Fasting: “At a season when the providence of God has manifested itself in the visitation of a fearful pestilence which is spreading itself throughout the land, it is fitting that a people whose reliance has ever been in His protection should humble themselves before His throne, and, while acknowledging past transgressions, ask a continuance of the Divine mercy.”
Churches were filled with people praying. By the end of that month, the death toll radically dropped and the plague ended.
It’s time our churches filled once again and we bow our knees together before the Lord Jesus Christ.

Thankful to be able to join in fasting & prayer with my fellow sisters & brothers in Christ for this 24 hours to ask God for His intervention to stop the plague of Covid, rioting, lawlessness, and corruption and that He will pour out His Spirit in revival? Also please pray for legal voting here in NC as well as across out country.

Wewalked around the city praying over the office buildings of thes senators and representatives. It was disappointing to see all the businesses that have failed during this shutdown for the pandemic,we praying God ends the shutdown and revive our great state and our nation
I will be fasting and praying with like minded God fearing Americans
September 27!
I will be praying and fasting from September 27th at 8:15pm to September 28th at sundown for our country according to 2 Chronicles 7:14!
Lord please help the people turn towards You. Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord. Heavenly Father we need You and Your help. Too many too often act too inappropriately, help us to seek You. I pray this in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
Yes! I will be fasting & praying for our nation with everyone else, that everyone in our nation returns to God!
My husband and I will be fasting and praying from Sunday sundown until Monday, Yom Kippur, 9/28 sundown. Repenting for our nation and praying for revival.
The most troubling thing as little as a month ago was that there were hardly any prayer meetings of a national level being called. Thank God for yesterday’s “Return” in DC, thank God for this Yom Kippur, and thank God for Pastor Carter Colon of Times Square, NYC, David Wilkerson’s church. They are hosting a virtual prayer meeting from Plymouth, Mass on October 6th, 7PM-9PM Eastern. They will be seeking a “mercy moment” from the Exact Home where the 1st 51 Pilgrims covanented with God 400 years ago in 1620. Pray, fast, repent, spread the word and participate repenting for “our own sins and the sins of our nation” (Dan 9:20), in Jesus’ Name.

Love to join in prayer and fasting tonight and tomorrow. : )
Jhon 14:1
Psalm 91
Mya G-D blesses us all…
Vilma,
Yes, we will join You in prayer and fasting from sundown tonight to sundown tomorrow night. Isaiah 58:6 Is this not the fast that I have chosen? To loose the bands of wickedness, to undo heavy burdens and to let the oppressed go free, and that you break every yoke?
Thank you for making the call to fast and pray. prayer + fasting = powerful results.
I have been praying and continue to pray for covid 19, stop rioting, lawlessness, corruption and surely pray for an out pouring of the Holy Spirit.
I believe, we should also pray, for our nation and for our President, Donald Trump, end abortion. To include, open harden hearts, for love of neighbor, to pray for the Salvation of Souls.
Mainly, that our Nation, REPENT, and that OUR PRESIDENT REPENT.
Pray for Mercy and Morality.
God Bless You!
Come Holy Spirit Come! 🙏🕊🔥🇺🇸
Fasting in repentance on this holy day for God’s forgiveness, intervention and guidance in all the affairs of our government, and of His people, called by His name.
Yes, I will join the fast and prayer. Praying for people to turn to God and worship Him with all their hearts and minds.
LORD willing,
I will join in fasting and prayer September 27-28.
Whoops, today is a day of repentance called “The Shuve” or “The Return” or turning. Today was Shabbat Shuva, and Yes, tomorrow night will start Yom Kippur — God grant us wisdom, mercy and repentance unto life, in Jesus’ Name
Yes, I will join you and others in this Day of Prayer.
Father in Heaven, hear our cry. Look on us with mercy.
Anoint our nation’s leaders with Your wisdom and understanding. Bring us out of darkness into light. Relieve us of this world-wide sickness. Heal the sick, comfort those who mourn, and bring us closer to you Lord.
We ask You this in the Name of Your Son, Jesus Christ, Our Lord and Savior. Amen
Yom Kippur starts TONIGHT, September 26th at sundown. Tomorrow is Yom Kippur — Please advise everyone and look at your calendars. God bless
Whoops, I was wrong — please forgive me — my calendar has it for tomorrow so I thought it started the night before, but they already took that into account — today is a day of repentance called “Sabbat shuva,” or “The Return” or turning/repentance. Today was Shabbat Shuva, and Yes, tomorrow night will start Yom Kippur — God grant us wisdom, mercy and repentance unto life, help us pray with sincerity in Jesus’ Name

“If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves……….I will heal their land.”
I am fasting and praying for our President and his family, his new Supreme Court pick, Christians in America (revival), my state( we have a voting battle going on in NC), and people in America who don’t know Jesus (The Third Great Awakening). This also includes everything God brings to my mind in between.
Yes I will fast and pray for God to heal our broken nation.
We should, systematically be in the habit of praying and fasting for America. It’s a privilege to join fellow Christians to pray for our beloved Country!
Our Church has been praying for three days for God to forgive the iniquity that has been allowed in America and to pour out His Spirit and Word in our land, Revive us, Oh Lord! AMEN
THE GLORY OF THE LORD TO BE REVEALED BY HEALING OUR NATION, CITIES, AND TOWNS
Isaiah 35:2, 4-6
2 It shall blossom abundantly and rejoice,
Even with joy and singing.
The glory of Lebanon shall be given to it,
The excellence of Carmel and Sharon.
They shall see the glory of the LORD,
The excellency of our God.
4 Say to those who are fearful-hearted,
“Be strong, do not fear!
Behold, your God will come with vengeance,
With the recompense of God;
He will come and save you.”
5 Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened,
And the ears of the deaf shall be unstopped.
6 Then the lame shall leap like a deer
PRAYER:
1. Come to us in Your glory, mighty God. Dispel the cruel desperation of darkness that causes people to believe life short, bleak, and cruel.
2. Restore our personal sight! Cause the blind to see, so we are no longer blinded by our sadness.
3. Restore our spiritual hearing! Unstop ears so that we are not deafened by our despair. Speak so we can hear Your voice again.
4. As You begin to heal people in our nation, cities, and towns may we have the courage to proclaim this amazing news: “Your God is coming! He is bringing His kingdom!”
Matthew 4:23
23 ¶ And Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all kinds of sickness and all kinds of disease among the people.
PRAYER:
1. Help us as believers in our nation, cities, and towns to pray with compassion for the hurting and the sick as Jesus did.
2. May the gospel of Your kingdom be clearly conveyed by Your people as You display Your loving power through our prayers.
I celebrate this time of fasting. May God Almighty be glorified as people around the world confess and repent of our personal sins and the sins of our nations. May what is evil be bound and what is good, noble and righteous according to God be set at liberty to do His Will.
Jeremiah 29:11-13 For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. 12 Then you will call on me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. 13 You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart. 14 I will be found by you,” declares the Lord, “and will bring you back from captivity.[a] I will gather you from all the nations and places where I have banished you,” declares the Lord, “and will bring you back to the place from which I carried you into exile.”
Yes i will
Father God, that you for pastor Graham. We pray for his ministry and for the safety of all participants in this march. May it be a blessing to this nation and glory to our Lord and Savior.
I pray that this will be a turning back to God for our country. For we know if we humble ourselves, pray and repent and turn from our sinful ways, our living Father will forgive us and heal our land. Praise God, let it go so.
Praying and fasting with all God’s children.
Father, We come to you in shame and humility and ask your forgiveness for our country. We ask you to give us strength to stand against the evil one and his followers. Help free us from fear which is paralyzing. Help us remember that Jesus is the victor. Help the ones who have gone astray return to your righteous ways. Help us restore God and Jesus in our schools, our national discourse, and public places. Help us to ban the teaching of false religions. Help our leaders and young people learn of this country’s greatness when we honored You. We ask that a return to You takes place. We pray the blood of Jesus over this country and its people. In Jesus’ name. Amen
We can’t make it to DC but here in NC at our home we are having prayer meeting with the saints to join your prayers in DC.
Also our church is fasting.
Yes! My family will join you. We also agree that the festivals in Gods word are significant. They are moediim, God’s eternal appointed times, when He has ordained to meet with His people. The scriptures say they are to be kept “forever”. Our nation and our world are in desperate need of a move of God and his mercy.
These strange diseases come from countries who have false gods.
Father, righteousness exalts a nation but sin is a reproach to any nation. We have treated you contemptuously God. Forgive our sin of unbelief and rebellion. Let us make a return to the Lord, and he will heal our land. In Jesus name.
Prayer can turn around the situation of our nation. Therefore Let’s pray and see the glory of God.
Thank you for the encouragement, I’m now decided to pray from 27th sundown to 28th sundown for the
return of our nation to God and for the deliverance from the pandemics.
Thank you for posting this. I have been very busy with some issues on my property and did not know until that we will join together for 24 hours of fasting, repentance, and prayer for God’s help for us as we intercede regarding the demonically charged attempted Communist coup to destroy our Republic and replace it with a living hell.
Father, we ask that you put it on our hearts to pray and fast for this country. Let us come together as one voice to the throne of heaven and plead the blood of Jesus over this country and over this world. Use this day to be a mighty day where things turn towards heaven and heaven responds. Hear our cry, O Lord! In Yeshua’s name, Amen.
Certainly this is a day to come together and pray for our nation both Jews and Christians united calling upon the mercy and grace bestowed for healing, forgiveness and for the revival resulting in salvation begin.
2 Chronicles 7:14
