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
WEEK 8: UNITY & SOCIAL COHESION
Day 54: (24 July 2026)
Unity across Families, Communities, and Generations: Praying for restored relationships within families, neighbourhoods, workplaces, schools, churches, and communities, that South Africans of every generation and background would walk together in mutual honour, love, and shared responsibility for the nation.
Action item 1: Pray for healing and unity within families and communities
Malachi 4:5-6 “Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the LORD. 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.”
Colossians 3:13-15 “bearing with one another, and forgiving one another, if anyone has a complaint against another; even as Christ forgave you, so you also must do. 14 But above all these things put on love, which is the bond of perfection. 15 And let the peace of God rule in your hearts…”
Romans 12:18 “If it is possible, as much as depends on you, live peaceably with all men.”
- Father, we ask You to break down the dividing walls in relationships caused by hurt, offence, conflict, violence, misunderstanding, unforgiveness, poverty, addiction, or division. Turn the hearts of parents to children and the hearts of the children toward their parents, living peaceably with all men. Bring healing and unity to our families and communities. Restore broken relationships through Your love and forgiveness. Let the peace of Christ rule in our hearts as we walk with one another; living peaceably according to Your Word. May our unity release Your Blessing over the earth, our communities and our families. We pray this in Jesus’ name, Amen.
Action item 2: Pray for unity across generations and cultures
Joel 2:28-29 “And it shall come to pass afterward that I will pour out My Spirit on all flesh; your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions. 29 And also on My menservants and on My maidservants I will pour out My Spirit in those days.”
Psalm 145:4 “One generation shall praise Your works to another, and shall declare Your mighty acts.”
Titus 2:1-8 “But as for you, speak the things which are proper for sound doctrine: 2 that the older men be sober, reverent, temperate, sound in faith, in love, in patience; 3 the older women likewise, that they be reverent in behavior, not slanderers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things 4 that they admonish the young women to love their husbands, to love their children, 5 to be discreet, chaste, homemakers, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God may not be blasphemed. 6 Likewise exhort the young men to be sober-minded, 7 in all things showing yourself to be a pattern of good works; in doctrine showing integrity, reverence, incorruptibility, 8 sound speech that cannot be condemned, that one who is an opponent may be ashamed, having nothing evil to say of you.”
- Father, pour out Your Spirit upon every generation, culture, and language group across South Africa. Remove every misunderstanding, mistrust, and division, and unite us in Your love. Turn the hearts of the old and the young toward one another, that we may honour, encourage, and learn from each other as we declare Your mighty works from one generation to the next. May our diversity become a source of strength, wisdom, and mutual blessing, reflecting the beauty of Your Kingdom. We pray in Jesus’ name, Amen.
Action item 3: Declare strong communities marked by love, honour, and shared responsibility
Philippians 2:3-4 “Let nothing be done through selfish ambition or conceit, but in lowliness of mind let each esteem others better than himself. 4 Let each of you look out not only for his own interests, but also for the interests of others.”
Galatians 6:2 “Bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ.”
Hebrews 10:24-25 “And let us consider one another in order to stir up love and good works, 25 not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as is the manner of some, but exhorting one another, and so much the more as you see the Day approaching.”
- Father, we declare that our families and communities will be marked by Your love, honour, and unity. Teach us to put others before ourselves, to bear one another’s burdens, and to encourage one another in faith and good works. Fill us with hearts of compassion and shared responsibility, that together we may build strong, caring communities that reflect the love of Christ and bring glory to Your name. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
