National Day Of Prayer

What a blessed people we are to live in a country where we can have a National Day Of Prayer. I am going this morning to a prayer breakfast at our church and I am really looking forward to it. Today all around our country we as a people will be united in prayer to the most high God.

I visited the National Day Of Prayer website today and I encourage you to do the same. I found the prayer for today written by Dr. Charles Swindoll and I am going to include it here in a minute.

Prayer is the most precious part of our relationship with Jesus. It is the way in which we can come into his presence and just talk with Him. He is never too busy to hear us and although we may not receive the answer we want......He does here and answer our prayers. But there is a catch, you have to pray it like you mean it, just ask Matt Lusk. Matt if you are reading today please share your prayer story in regards to Upward.

2007 Prayer for Our Nation
Written by Dr. Charles R. Swindoll
Almighty God, we pause to reflect on Your character as we seek wisdom for such a time as this. In these unsafe days, You remain all-powerful and able to protect; In these uncertain times, You remain all-knowing, leading us aright; In the unprecedented events we're facing, You remain absolutely sovereign. Our times are in Your hands. Therefore, our dependence on You, is total, not partial . . . our need for Your forgiveness is constant. . . our gratitude for Your grace is profound. . . our love for You is deep. We ask that You guard and guide our President and all who serve the people of these United States. May uncompromising integrity mark their lives. We also ask that You unite us as truly "one nation, under God." May genuine humility return to our ranks. And may that blend of integrity and humility heal our land. In our Lord's name we pray, Amen.

I pray that we would treat everyday as a National Day Of Prayer. God wants us to communicate with Him and prayer is the tool we use to do that very thing.

Have a Blessed Day!!!
