As part of Awakening Prayer Hub’s 5050 Campaign, we’re praying for one state each week until election week 2024. It’s a critical time to pray for the United States and each state plays a role in the union. Join the campaign at www.awakeningprayerhubs.com/5050.
Known prophetically as the “Breakthrough” state, West Virginia is rich in natural resources, such as coal and natural gas. The state has historically been a major coal producer, supplying a significant portion of the nation’s energy needs.
West Virginia’s forests contribute to the timber industry, fueling construction and manufacturing. The state’s agriculture sector, particularly livestock farming and apple orchards, contributes to the nation’s food supply.
West Virginia is renowned for its rolling Appalachian Mountains, dense forests, and scenic rivers. The state is also known for its historic sites, such as Harpers Ferry, which played a significant role in the Civil War and the abolitionist movement.
Education and research are significant in West Virginia, with institutions like West Virginia University contributing to advancements in fields such as healthcare, engineering, and energy.
Despite its many strengths, West Virginia faces several natural and spiritual challenges. The decline of the coal industry, for example, has left many communities struggling with job losses and economic stagnation.
Healthcare is another significant challenge. West Virginia has some of the highest rates of chronic diseases, including diabetes and heart disease, in the country. Education is also a concern. Many K-12 schools face funding shortages and resource limitations.
This week, Awakening Prayer Hubs is praying for West Virginia.
