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?

Today's Prayer Points

Wednesday, June 3, 2026

Week 01: National Consecration

Day 3: (3 June 2026)

Returning the Nation to the Fear of the Lord:

Restoring reverence, honour, obedience, and holy fear toward God within the nation. Calling South Africa back to righteousness, wisdom, and covenant obedience. Pray intentionally for the restoration of the fear of the Lord across every sphere of society – within families, churches, schools, leadership, government, and communities. Ask God to remove spiritual apathy, pride, lawlessness, and rebellion from the nation.

Action Item 1: Restore the Fear of the Lord Across the Nation

Proverbs 14:34 “Righteousness exalts a nation, but sin is a reproach to any people.”

Proverbs 9:10 “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.”

Ecclesiastes 12:13 “Fear God and keep His commandments, for this is man’s all.”

  • Father restore to our nation the reverend fear of the Lord: Father, restore the fear of the Lord within South Africa. Let reverence for Your name arise once again across this nation. Remove pride, arrogance, rebellion, and spiritual complacency from our land. Teach us again to honour Your Word, to walk in obedience, and to live according to Your truth. Let the fear of the Lord govern our leaders, churches, families, schools, and institutions. May righteousness once again exalt this nation, and may wisdom flow from hearts that honour You.

Action Item 2: Turn Hearts Back to God and His Ways 

Malachi 4:6 “And he will turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, And the hearts of the children to their fathers, Lest I come and strike the earth with a curse.”

Jeremiah 24:7 “Then I will give them a heart to know Me, that I am the Lord; and they shall be My people, and I will be their God, for they shall return to Me with their whole heart.”

Hosea 14:1 “O Israel, return to the Lord your God, for you have stumbled because of your iniquity.”

  • Lord turn our hearts back to You: Lord, we ask You to turn the hearts of the people back to You. Heal the spiritual brokenness within our nation and restore families, communities, and generations. Drawback those who have drifted from Your truth and awaken spiritual hunger throughout the land. Let there be a genuine return to prayer, holiness, obedience, and worship in South Africa. Remove hardness of heart and raise up a generation that knows and honours the Lord.

Action Item 3: Establish Righteousness and Moral Integrity in the Nation

Amos 5:24 “But let justice run down like water, and righteousness like a mighty stream.”

Micah 6:8 “He has shown you, O man, what is good… to do justly, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God.”

Isaiah 32:17 “The work of righteousness will be peace, and the effect of righteousness, quietness and assurance forever.”

  • Enthrone Your Righteous and Moral Integrity in our Nation O Lord: Father, establish righteousness, justice, truth, and integrity within South Africa. Let truth prevail over deception, holiness over compromise, righteousness over wickedness, and justice over corruption.
  • Raise leaders, families, churches, schools, and communities that reflect Your character and Your ways. We pray for moral restoration throughout the nation and for a renewed commitment to truth, justice, and righteousness. Let peace, stability, healing, and restoration flow from righteous foundations established across the land.
  • May South Africa be known as a nation that honours God, upholds truth, and walks in integrity.
