National Day of Prayer

"I urge, then, first of all, that requests, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for everyone—for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness. This is good, and pleases God our Savior, who wants all men to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth." I Timothy2:1-4

Today, May 6, is the National Day of Prayer. I ask today that you will join together with millions of other Christian of all ages across the states, praying for our Nation, our President, Leaders of our Nation, for Congress, for the Supreme Court, and for all the branches of the Armed Forces. We need to pray for our state and local governments, for our educational system, our schools, our churches and all those people of God who are the shepherds teaching their flock the Word of God as they show God’s love for all His children and especially the families.

Closer to the home front, I ask you to pray for each other. We are each so special and I know that we are all trying our best to be the best people we can be. Let us lift each other up in prayer that on days like I had yesterday, (we’ve all seen them), that we are able to remain strong, to trust God and when things seem harder to bear than we can do on our own, that we reach out to a brother or sister who can lift us up in prayer so that we can stay the course. God gave us each other to use as tools to keep going. Pray that none of us isolates and withdraws or disappears. I love all of you and know you are there for me, please know that I am here for you as well.

Praise the Lord and Hallelujah! We are all loved by him in our differences – each and every one of us created for a purpose. Lets join together in praying that everyone will come to know the Lord Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord of their lives on this National Day of Prayer.
