Renewed for the Nation
Theme: Rise Like Eagles
Freedom Friday
Psalm 103:5 (NLT)
"He fills my life with good things. My youth is renewed like the eagle’s!"
Devotion
In Psalm 103, David praises the Lord for His benefits—one of which is renewal. He writes, “My youth is renewed like the eagle’s.” This verse draws from a fascinating truth about how God created the eagle.
Each year, adult eagles go through a molting process, where they gradually lose and regrow their feathers. It’s a slow, necessary renewal that allows them to replace damaged, worn feathers with strong, new ones. During this time:
They are less agile, sometimes unable to fly at full strength.
They may stay more grounded, relying on rest and protection.
The process takes months, but when it’s done, they soar again—refreshed, stronger, and ready for flight.
This is a picture of what God does in us. He doesn’t just give us energy—He renews us. In our weakness, when we feel grounded or limited, He’s preparing us for a fresh season of strength.
Renewal Beyond Ourselves
Today is Freedom Friday, where we turn our prayers outward—beyond our four walls. We pray for our cities, our state, and our nation. Just like the eagle, many are in a season where strength has been lost and the flight of purpose seems delayed. But God is not done.
We believe this is a time of national molting—a divine shedding of what’s broken and worn, to make room for spiritual renewal.
Just as God renews individuals, He can renew a church. A city. A region. Even a nation.
Prayer Focus – Outside Our Walls
Pray for spiritual renewal across our nation and state.
Intercede for our surrounding cities—Brookville, Huber Heights, Dayton, Trotwood, Eaton, Clayton, New Lebanon, Farmersville, Middletown, Xenia, Jamestown, Oxford, Phillipsburg, West Milton—that revival and healing would come.
Ask God to raise up bold, Spirit-led leaders in government, education, business, and media who reflect His truth and righteousness.
Pray that Harvest Revival Center would be part of this renewal—an eagle people, rising for such a time as this.
