365 Day Prayer Shield Over South Africa

What if the Church prayed without ceasing — not for a season, but for a whole year?

We are inviting every believer, every church, and every prayer network to join us in placing a 365-day prayer shield over our nation. One hour at a time. One heart at a time. Together.

When every slot is filled, South Africa will be covered in 24/7 unbroken intercession — crying out for healing, for breakthrough, and for God’s hand to move powerfully across our land.

How it works: Book one or more hourly prayer slots across the full year. When all slots are filled, we achieve continuous, unbroken prayer coverage over the nation. Daily prayer points will be available below the calendar to guide your time with God.

This is your invitation.
This is our moment.
Will you take your place on the wall?

WEEK 10: NATIONAL REFORMATION AND ESTABLISHMENT 

Day 65 (4 August 2026)

Theme: Renewing the Nation’s Covenant with God

Humbly reaffirming South Africa’s commitment to the Lord, dedicating ourselves afresh to His purposes and seeking to walk in faithful obedience, righteousness, and covenant relationship with Him.

Action item 1: Renew Our Covenant Commitment to the Lord

Joshua 24:14–15 “Now therefore, worship Yahweh with holy awe and serve him in authentic love and loyalty. Remove from your hearts every false god to whom your fathers bowed down beyond the Euphrates and in Egypt and serve Yahweh. If it seems wrong in your eyes to serve Yahweh, then make your decision today which gods you will worship—the gods which your ancestors worshiped in Mesopotamia or the gods which the Amorites worship in the land where you are now living—but I and my family, we will give our lives to worship and serve Yahweh!” (TPT)

Deuteronomy 30:19–20 “This day I call the heavens and the earth as witnesses against you that I have set before you life and death, blessings and curses. Now choose life, so that you and your children may live and that you may love the Lord your God, listen to his voice, and hold fast to him. For the Lord is your life, and he will give you many years in the land he swore to give to your fathers, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.” (TPT)

Romans 12:1–2Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship. Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.” (NIV)

  • Father, in the mighty Name of Jesus, we consecrate South Africa afresh to You. We acknowledge Your sovereign rule over our nation and declare that Jesus Christ is Lord over South Africa. Father, by Your Holy Spirit, draw the Church, families, leaders, and every citizen to Yourself. May they wholeheartedly commit to walking in obedience to Your Word and in Your righteous ways. We lay every idol on the altar before Your throne and choose to serve You alone. Lord, make us a people who walk uprightly, consecrated, holy, and blameless before You. Renew our minds, transform our hearts, and lead us in Your perfect will, that Your Name may be glorified throughout our nation. In Jesus’ mighty Name, Amen.

Action item 2: Pray for National Faithfulness to God’s Covenant

Deuteronomy 7:9 “Know therefore that the Lord your God is God; he is the faithful God, keeping his covenant of love to a thousand generations of those who love him and keep his commandments.” (NIV)

Psalm 89:33–34 “But I will never, no never, lift my faithful love from off their lives. My kindness will prevail and I will never disown them.” (TPT)

Micah 6:8 No! Listen, o Adam’s offspring, Yahweh has made it plain to you what is best. He has shown you what he really is longing for from you— only to promote justice, to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God.” (TPT)

  • Father, in the mighty Name of Jesus, we pray that South Africa will not turn away from You, but will remain steadfast in truth, justice, humility, and the fear of the Lord. According to Deuteronomy 7:9, You are the faithful God who keeps Your covenant of love to a thousand generations. Thank You that Your faithful love never fails and that You never break Your covenant. May Your mercy prevail over South Africa, and may Your covenant principles shape our culture, influence our leaders, and be established in future generations. According to Micah 6:8, cause us to do justice, love mercy, and walk humbly with You. Let righteousness be exalted in our land, and let South Africa reflect Your Kingdom. Let it be in South Africa as it is in heaven. In Jesus’ mighty Name, Amen.

Action item 3: Declare South Africa Established in Covenant with God

Isaiah 54:10 “Even if the mountains were to crumble and the hills disappear, my heart of steadfast, faithful love will never leave you, and my covenant of peace with you will never be shaken,” says Yahweh, whose love and compassion will never give up on you.” (TPT)

Jeremiah 32:40I will make an everlasting covenant with them, and I will never stop doing good things for them. I will inspire them to honor and respect me so that they will never walk away from me again.” (TPT)

Hebrews 8:10 “For here is the covenant I will one day establish with the people of Israel: I will embed my laws within their thoughts and fasten them onto their hearts. I will be their loyal God and they will be my loyal people.” (TPT)

  • Father, we thank You that South Africa belongs to You. We declare that Your steadfast love will never depart from our nation and that Your covenant of peace will never be shaken. Establish Your everlasting covenant over South Africa, continue to do good to our nation, and place the fear of the Lord in the hearts of Your people. Write Your laws upon our hearts and minds, that we may walk faithfully before You. Let Your covenant love endure, Your purposes prevail, and let it be in South Africa as it is in heaven. In Jesus’ mighty Name, Amen
