Weekly Watch Focus: Pray for Economic Recovery in the Midst of the Pandemic
FRIDAY, April 24, 2020—Weekly Watch Focus: Pray for Economic Restoration
Friday, April 24, 2020—The measures taken to control the coronavirus in recent weeks, shuttering businesses and services to help flatten the coronavirus curve, have weakened the U.S. economy. As of this week, 22 million Americans have lost their jobs. And many are hurting economically. Thank the Lord that the coronavirus surge in the U.S. has begun to level off, and federal and local authorities are beginning to loosen restrictions in order to re-open the economy. Pray for President Trump and his advisors as they continue to provide guidelines for the nation’s Covid-19 response. May He give them wise counsel like Solomon as they seek the best course to protect America from the threat of the coronavirus and that will benefit America’s economy today and in the future. Pray that the God who supplies all our needs will provide for the thousands of individuals and businesses who are struggling financially. May the God of Jacob defend, sustain, increase, and rebound the American economy. Pray for our friends and allies around the globe hit with this virus, and pray for a turnaround for their health and economy. Lord, we ask for a Joel 2 turnaround for America. Give us seven-fold restoration for all the locusts have eaten. We bind the spirit of lack and destruction behind this pandemic, and loose heavenly blessings of economic growth and prosperity so that America continues to be an economic power helping millions across the globe.

Joel 2:18, 23-25, “Then the Lord will be zealous for His land, and pity His people. Be glad then, you children of Zion, and rejoice in the Lord your God; for He has given you the former rain faithfully, and He will cause the rain to come down for you—the former rain, and the latter rain in the first month. The threshing floors shall be full of wheat, and the vats shall overflow with new wine and oil. So I will restore to you the years that the swarming locust has eaten, the crawling locust, the consuming locust, and the chewing locust, My great army which I sent among you.”
