National Prayer Ministry Alliance (NPMA) Initiated in 2004, the 72 hours of Prayer for the Nation began before the national elections to pray for the outcome of the polls. The Lord spoke to Dr. Paul Dhinakaran to gather the people and the Churches and pray in oneness for God to remember the nation and place representatives of people chosen by Him in Parliament after the election. The Lord clearly revealed to him that it should be a 72-hours continued prayer, just as Esther fasted and prayed for 3 days and nights (Esther 4:16,17), which saved God’s people, resulting in godly leadership in her nation making the nation rejoice. In line with this divine guidance, the 72-hours prayer was held in Chennai and 13 other cities across the nation in April 2004 at the New Life Assembly of God Church campus. 

Almost all denominations and independent Churches and Organisations participated and led the prayers that were based on the commandment of God in 2 Chronicles 7:14; “If my people, who are called by My name, will humble themselves and pray and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land.” The Lord heard the prayers and answered them.

When the poll results were announced, the entire nation was shocked. A leading national newspaper declared, “Shock, surprise…” It was clear that the verdict was completely contrary to the opinion of the media. The hand of God was at work, and His will was done in the nation. 

As we are all aware, our nation is getting ready to face the next general election. As the Scripture says, it is essential for us to humble ourselves, repent and pray unto the Lord for Him to establish His will through the coming elections. In the past, we have conducted 72-hours non-stop prayer sessions during the 2004, 2009, 2014 and 2019 National elections. Several Church Leaders, Servants of God, Institutional Heads and thousands of people gathered in 543 constituencies across India for 72 hours at the same time during these prayer sessions.

For this year's 2024 elections, we propose to conduct the 72 hours prayer in 100 cities across India simultaneously starting from Monday, April 8th, 2024 at 6:00 pm and ending on Thursday, April 11th, 2024 at 6:00 pm.

This Prayer will be a non-partisan prayer, focusing solely on crying out to God as one body, similar to how Daniel and Esther prayed for their people and nation, for us to live and minister in peace after the election when the new Government is formed.

The main focus of prayer would be for:

Your participation in this prayer will make a difference. We would also deeply appreciate if you could encourage your Pastors and spiritual leaders to participate and pray at the venue of this 72-hours prayer.

We also welcome your contributions towards this mission through the “Prayer for the Nation” Project to help meet various expenses involved in conducting these prayer gatherings in 100 cities.
