“For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the LORD, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope. Then you will call upon Me and go and pray to Me, and I will listen to you. And you will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart.” (Jeremiah 29:11-13)
You may have heard many sermons about importance of prayer. What does the LORD God say about prayer is not hard to remember. When we pray to our heavenly Father, whether sitting, standing, or kneeling and speaking in our own words He hears us. He answers our prayers according to His divine will for us that will increase our faith to have personal relationship with Him. You should continue to pray faithfully and daily because your prayer to Your heavenly Father gives you comfort and strength when you go daily before His Throne of Grace with your conversation between you and Him.
“Depart from me, all you workers of iniquity; for the LORD has heard the voice of my weeping. The LORD has heard my supplication; the LORD will receive my prayer.” (Psalm 6:8-9)
When you do not receive what you prayed for, you may conclude that God is saying no to your request. Remember, He has promised to hear your prayers, however, are you listening to His reply? If the LORD has not given you what you ask for He may have something better planned for you. So, this means that the LORD God wants you to continue praying putting your trust in Him to make a way for you for your life on earth.
I am the founder and chief executive officer for the National Association of American Veterans, Inc. (NAAV) established in 2005 and incorporated in 2006 to provide support for our nation’s service members and veterans and their caregivers and family members. The LORD God during my prayers to Him told me to reach out and help those who are hurting returning from the
1
wars in the Middle East and nationwide. This is not an easy task to undertake, however, over the past twenty years the LORD God has given me
courage, strength, and financial support from many others He placed in my pathway to help those most in need nationwide and worldwide.
“I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” (Philippians 4:13)
God does not expects us to hold on to our faith by our own strength. The LORD knows the weakness of all human hearts, and He knows all about the temptations we deal with daily. God has placed other prayer warriors in my pathway to pray for me and NAAV, Inc. during these challenging and troubles times we are all living in on this earth. When we are weak, God is strong.
“But the Lord is faithful, who will establish you and guard you from the evil one.” (2 Thessalonians 3:3)
The Lord said when two or three come together to pray at the Throne of Grace He is in their mist. Look to God and trust in His strength He is offering, and you can take the challenges set before you with confidence. For in God, you have great strength and courage to endure during such
a time as these. See Prayer giving for NAAV, Inc. and its Founder and CEO in June 2026 given by Prophecy USA in Clearwater, Florida by Richard & Karen Pearson.
Prayer:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, giving You praise, honor, and glory. You are our Refuge, our Strength, and our ever-present Help in times of trouble. Heavenly Father, we lift up Constance to You today. Surround her with Your presence, fill her afresh with the Holy Spirit, and strengthen her in every area of life. Where there is weariness, bring renewal. Where there is uncertainty, bring wisdom. Where there is burden, bring peace.

Your Word says: “Fear thou not; for I am with thee be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.” (Isaiah 41:10) Lord, let this promise become a living reality in her heart. Let Constance know that You are near, that You see every need, and that Your grace is sufficient for every challenge she may face.
Heavenly Father, we pray for NAAV, Inc. and all those involved in its mission and ministry. Bless the organization with wisdom, provision, favor, integrity, and divine direction. Open doors that no one can shut. Raise up helpers, supporters, and partners. Let every effort that honors You bear lasting fruit and bring encouragement, hope, and practical help to those in need.
Lord, we especially pray for those who have served and those who are currently serving in the United States Armed Forces around the world. We thank You for their sacrifices, dedication, and courage. We ask You to protect them physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually.
For those who are in danger, be their shield. For those who are lonely, be their companion. For those who are grieving, be their comforter. For those facing trauma, anxiety, injury, illness, or hardship, stretch forth Your healing hand. For those most in need of emergency assistance, Lord, make a way where there seems to be no way. Send help swiftly. Provide resources, support, encouragement, and godly people to stand beside them.
Your Word declares: “God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble” (Psalm 46:2). Also in Psalm 34:18 – You have said “The LORD is near to the brokenhearted and saves the crushed in spirit.”
Holy Spirit, pour out Your comfort upon every service member, veteran, and military family who is hurting today. Let Your peace flood their hearts. Remind them that they are not forgotten and never alone.
We pray that the light of Christ would shine brightly in every place they serve. Let hope rise where there has been despair, courage where there has been fear, and faith where there has been discouragement.

Heavenly Father, bless, protect, strengthen, and encourage all who are carrying heavy burdens today. May they experience Your love, Your presence, and Your faithfulness in a fresh and powerful way.
We thank You because You are able to do exceedingly abundantly above all we ask or think. We trust You with every need represented in this prayer. And We stand in faith that Your power is fully at work, and we expect it to manifest according to Your perfect will. We pray all these things in the precious name of Jesus, Amen.
Shalom,
