Hello, gentle readers, and happy new year! I hope you’re settling into 2026 by adopting healthy habits or maintaining those you’ve already begun.

You have not heard from me in weeks because the recent events in Minnesota (ICE, the protests, and the death of a protester) distressed me so much that I wasn’t sure what to write about. Since this is a faith-based blog, my political opinions are not relevant. I wasn’t sure what faith topic to talk about here in my space.

Today I received my answer. It came from Dutch Sheets and can be found in his January 19, 2026, Give Him 15: Daily Prayer with Dutch. You can also read the entry on Dutch’s Give Him 15 app.

If you are like my friend Kathleen and me, we don’t keep up with Dutch’s prayer entries daily. Sometimes, we skip days. This one is of high importance as it contains a prayer strategy from the Holy Spirit that is easier to implement than I thought.

Here’s an excerpt: “Recently, the Lord showed us a strategy to add to this praying army and direct America’s course towards freedom. The sheer simplicity took us by surprise. 

We were visiting with our longtime friends Tom and Lynnie Harlow when Lynnie suddenly asked us to pray about something. “I saw a vision of Big Ben,” Lynnie recounted. “And I heard the phrase ‘Big Ben Minute.’ The Lord was saying we are now in a ‘Big Ben moment’ for America. We are at a tipping point, where we can go one way or another.” 

Lynnie and Tom went on to share that during World War II, a minute of nightly prayer helped shift the course of the war. We had never heard this story before.”

I urge you to go to Dutch’s website and read this entry written by Jon Hamill in full at (https://www.givehim15.com/post/january-19-2026)

A movement—to pray one minute for America? How’s that going to turn a nation? How’s that going to protect anything?

Especially if you’re a seasoned watchman, your response might be a lot like mine. But history has proven there is great power in a groundswell of simple, consistent intercession. Even if it’s only for a minute. 

And whether you’re a veteran warrior or totally new to prayer, everyone can take a minute out of their evening to simply pray for America. If you join this prayer strategy, will you LIKE this post or comment below? Thanks, and God bless your prayers in this season.
