🔥 A Prayer in the Spirit of Elijah:
"Lord God of Elijah,
We stand in this day as Your people—called to be a voice for truth in a confused world.
Raise up a prophetic generation that turns hearts back to You.
Restore families, heal nations, and let Your fire fall again in power and purity.
Come, Lord Jesus—we prepare the way for You.
In Your mighty name, Amen."🕊️
