A day to pray
The 56th Annual National Day of Prayer takes place today. The theme that has been chosen for this year is "America, Unite in Prayer" and is based on the verse from 2 Chronicles 7:14 which states: 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 will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land.
I encourage all of us to pray for the challenges that face this great nation and for the leaders that bear the responsibility for governing our towns, our states and our country. And please pray also for Awana and the influence that we can bring to bear on churches across this country. Our desire is for churches and moms and dads to work together to raise a new generation of spiritual champions that will impact this nation and the world for God.
My favorite Bible verse is Jeremiah 33:3 – Call unto Me, and I will answer Thee, and show thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not.
Pray for God to do great and mighty things through us and to bring salvation and healing to our land.
