Today born-again farmers around the world are joining together to pray for each other’s farms. If you have not already, please consider joining us by commenting on the previous post. I have been so encouraged reading about the work the Lord is doing in the lives of other farmers and look forward to lifting them up to the Lord today. My plan is to fast during lunch and pray through all the comments.
As we pray today, if the Lord lays something on your heart that you think would be encouraging to other born-again farmers please feel free to share them in the comments of this post. Also feel free to write down some of your prayers and share them in the comments as well for the edification of others.
Oh, Lord. Please bless this day and we your people, who have commited to join together to acknowledge our dependence on and need for You. You created the land, the plants, the animals. And You created us, made in Your image, and gave us the job of caring for Your creation and the privilege of walking with You. Oh, Lord, we have failed to serve You and have rebelled, but in Your mercy You sent Your Son to live the life we could not live, and receive the punishment we deserve. Now, as those who have been called by You out of death and into life, we surrender our lives, our families, our farms in wholehearted devotion to the Lord Jesus Christ. As followers of the Way, may our lives show others the way to live, that they may be pointed to Him who is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. We love You Lord, because You first loved us, and we thank You for the privilege of being able to join You in the work of caring for Your creation and reconciling men to You. We look forward, Oh Jesus, to your return and the restoration of all things. Come, Lord Jesus. Amen.
Thank you for prompting us to do this. I spent time today as I scrolled through my FB farm page, praying for my farming friends as I saw their profiles. Praying for my own farm that God would use it and me to glorify Him and His love for all. God Bless.

Thank you so much for giving a voice to this vision and a place to share and encourage each other! It was an honor to lift you all up to the throne. It will be so exciting to see the hand of God work in and through us all. Will continue in prayer, and hope to hear good news about your cow soon. 🙂 …..Now he that planteth and he that watereth are one: and every man shall receive his own reward according to his own labour.

Looking for daily encouragement for myself as a wife of a farmer with 2 kids, and need help looking for the right words for my husband as he struggles with the battle between his job and home.
Would be awesome if there was a daily thing….
