We will not tolerate any demonic interference on the 24/7 National Strategic Prayer Call.
We are taking measures to protect and defend our 24/7 family and this call. At the top of every hour,
the facilitator, in agreement with those on the line, will bind all forces of evil and cast them down into the abyss, then pray a shield of protection over the call and our 24/7 family!
*The key assignment for the 24/7 National Strategic Prayer Call is to intercede hourly
for the safety and security of our President and to pray for that which pertains to our nation!
We pray for the protection of our President Donald Trump and cover him with the Blood of Jesus.
We bless our First Lady, Melania, their young son Barron and each of their family members.
We cover our Vice President Mike Pence, his wife Karen and their family
and all those in this Administration who are serving You and our nation!”
The 24/7 NSPC has called the Body of Christ nationwide to pray for the 2020 National Elections,
mobilizing intercessors and positioning ourselves in prayer before the Lord
on behalf of our President and nation!
Today, we pray into this verse for our elections.
Fear not, for I am with you; Be not dismayed, for I am your God.
I will strengthen you, Yes, I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.’
Isaiah 41:10
Strategic Focus for Thursday
WELCOME THE KING OF GLORY INTO THE UNITED STATES
The PREVENTS Initiative
“Do not rejoice over me, my enemy; When I fall, I will arise; When I sit in darkness,
The Lord will be a light to me.”
Micah 7:8
A nation is strong when it cares for its veterans, while nations that don’t care for those who have defended their nations are weakened! That is just the “tip of the spear”…as the lack of care currently extends to the wanton killing of babies in the womb, and could soon go on to include seniors who are “no longer useful or productive” according to the left’s standards!
What incentive is there for the youth to sign up to serve if they see others who have served being disregarded and marginalized? The consequences of such actions are to rob the culture of its boldness, courage and bravery!
When President Trump signed an executive order at a time when progress on preventing veterans suicide nationwide was “stalled”. It was aimed at decreasing the number of veteran suicides, he was keeping another campaign promise…and upholding the integrity of the nation! His commitment to serve America’s wounded veterans and their families, and his recent Executive Order solidified the critical importance of veteran suicide prevention which takes the lives of 20 veterans each and every day…a rate 1.5 times higher than those who have not served in the military.

President Donald J. Trump Issues a National Call to Action to
Empower Veterans and End the National Tragedy of Veteran Suicide
Issued: March 5, 2019
“We will not rest until all of America’s great veterans receive the care they’ve earned
through their incredible service and sacrifice to our country.”
President Donald J. Trump
CALL TO ACTION: President Donald J. Trump is taking action to empower our veterans and address the tragedy of veteran suicide. President Trump is signing an Executive Order on the “President’s Roadmap to Empower Veterans and End a National Tragedy of Suicide”—the PREVENTS Initiative.
The Executive Order establishes a task force that includes the Secretaries of Veterans Affairs, Defense, Health and Human Services, and Homeland Security. The task force will develop a comprehensive public health roadmap for helping veterans pursue an improved quality of life and ending the national tragedy of veteran suicide.
- The roadmap will include a national research strategy for engaging with public-and-private sector stakeholders to better understand the underlying factors of suicide, and to lead to earlier identification and intervention.
- The roadmap will also include a proposal for equipping State and local governments with the resources and tools they need to empower veteran communities and provide needed services.
To prevent suicide, the Federal Government must work side-by-side with partners across all levels of government and with the private and non-profit sectors. The Administration’s roadmap will help create a national and local ecosystem that cultivates active engagement with each veteran, rather than a passive system wherein the onus for engagement is placed on veterans.
We pray:
- That Americans, in both the public and private sectors, will align with and participate in the President’s initiative, showing the support, care, appreciation and honor they deserve!
A NATIONAL TRAGEDY: Veteran suicide is a national tragedy that has taken too many of our Nation’s heroes. Despite significant efforts and billions of dollars invested, suicide rates among veterans rose 26 percent from 2005 to 2016. In 2016, the suicide rate was one and a half times greater for veterans than for non-veteran adults. Each day, an average of 20 service members and veterans die by suicide, nearly 70 percent of whom are not engaged with the Department of Veteran Affairs (VA) for their healthcare. Veterans often endure traumatic experiences—either emotional or physical—which make them susceptible to mental health issues.
We pray:
- That the loving hearts and extended hands of those who support this initiative will lift our veterans up over so many of the hurdles that are facing when they return from war…preventing any more suicides!
STRENGTHENING VETERAN SUPPORT: This Executive Order will amplify the existing efforts of the Trump Administration to improve quality of care for our veterans. President Trump previously signed an Executive Order directing his Administration to improve access to mental health treatment and suicide prevention resources for veterans. President Trump secured a record $73.1 billion in funding for the VA to provide quality medical care for our veterans. This included $8.6 billion for mental health services and $206 million for suicide prevention. The President revolutionized the VA healthcare system by signing the VA MISSION Act, and has expanded access to telehealth services to help reach more veterans, including through his “Anywhere to Anywhere” VA healthcare initiative.
We pray:
- In thanksgiving for the heart of our President, which has been moved with compassion for our warrior- heroes. May we continue to stand for and with them, that they might live…and live an abundant life!

The President is being applauded for his efforts, which also include creating a task force of state and local groups to raise awareness of the crisis. He has said that the high veterans’ suicide rate can be solved only if the entire country works together to build communities supporting and protecting veterans from the moment they return from service to civilian life. “They courageously fulfill their duties to our nation, now we must fulfill our duties to them.”
His new order is being dubbed the PREVENTS initiative, an acronym that stands for “President’s Roadmap to Empower Veterans to End the National Tragedy of Suicide“. It will empower Veterans to pursue an improved quality of life, coordinate existing suicide prevention efforts, prioritize related research activities, and engender collaboration across the public and private sectors.
Sarah Verardo, Chief Executive Officer of The Independence Fund who stood alongside the President, said: “We owe it to our Veterans to ensure they’re not forgotten when they come home. The PREVENTS Initiative serves as a new call to action for all of us. They may return from battlefields, but their wars are not over. For many, another battle begins when their purpose in the military ends. The PREVENTS Initiative reignite that purpose.”
We pray:
- For the full and quick recovery of those veterans who suffer with PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder) and other afflictions of the mind and soul. Touch them and “bring them to life” again!
Former members of Bravo Company, Army Sgt.1st Class Robert Musil and Army Sgt. Nick Armendariz witnessed the signing of this historic Executive Order.
- Musil, who is still on active duty, has seen the need for increased suicide prevention efforts first hand. He lost 15 of his former soldiers to suicide, almost as many as the 18 he lost in combat over his numerous combat deployments — a tragic reality for those who served in combat. He said that one contributing factor is “isolationism… they feel alone.”
- Musil and Armendariz will attend the first Operation RESILIENCY reunion retreat with nearly 100 of their battle buddies from Bravo Company.
“Veterans’ suicide is a tragedy of staggering proportions…we can help end this crisis,” said the President at the signing ceremony, while surrounded by military families and veterans’ organizations. His executive order comes after a report by the Government Accountability Office last December that revealed the US Department of Veteran Affairs had only spent $57,000 of the $6.2 million available for paid media, which could have gone towards suicide prevention efforts. The White House said the new task force created by the executive order will create a grant system similar to the Housing and Urban Development VA Supportive Housing program. It will provide funding for state and local programs that help veterans and their families experiencing homelessness find permanent housing.
The White House, leaders in the House and Senate, VA leadership and champions from the public and private sectors will assist veterans in suicide prevention, through the PREVENT Initiative. It has been targeted to meet the unmet needs of catastrophically combat-wounded veterans, caregivers, and their families through mobility programs, adaptive sports, advocacy, and veteran suicide prevention.
President Trump has urged an expansion of outreach programs by awarding grants to different community programs combating the issue. The cost for the proposed grants with the PREVENTS initiative, which will have to be approved by Congress, has not yet been announced!
We pray:
- That Americans will recognize what we owe to our Veterans, and ensure they’re not forgotten when they come home.
- That whether they are from the few remaining WWII veterans, or from the Korean War, or from the Vietnam conflict, or from one of the numerous conflicts in the Middle East, that every veteran will know that their service was appreciated and respected, and that whatever their needs are now will be met by a grateful nation!

Specific Prayer Topic for Today
Praying for the Congress of the United States: Senate and House of Representatives
Nancy Pelosi seems to have completely lost “control” of the communist-socialist, anti-Semitic liberal left wing Democrat party. After a closed-door meeting with radicals like Ilhan Omar, Ocasio-Cortez, Rashida Tlaib and other anti-Semites last week, she was so frustrated that she set down the microphone and stormed out of the meeting, saying: “Well if you’re not going to listen to me, I’m done talking.” It looks as if Ocasio-Cortez really is “the boss” now, at least of the socialist-communist-anti-Semitic wing of the party! As the old saying goes, “Oh, what a tangled web we weave when first we practice to deceive!”: When deceit is operative, and webs are woven, it’s not surprising that those who wove would be caught in their own snares.
We pray:
- Let those who have caused such chaos be given an opportunity to understand what they have done and repent; otherwise, let them be caught in their own snares, exposed, and removed from places and positions of influence!
- Replace them with those who will honor You and our Constitution, and govern righteously!
