National Prayer Day
So, did you pray? And if you did, what did you pray for, what should we all pray for? The war to end, our kids to be healthy, the GB Packers to win the superbowl, the price of gas to go down?
What about praying for the people who haven't yet found their praying muscle? There are so many people in the puddle of the fountain and very few who send up prayers to bring God's glory to rain down on us with His blessing and grace. I'm glad that I took the time out with a couple of friends and marked this day of great importance in prayer for our community and for God to use us all in bringing others to Christ and into His family.
I pray that we all find our voice with God and make praying as normal as breathing. You don't forget to breath, why would you forget to pray. It doesn't take elegant words or rhyming phrases to reach him; the innocence of a child's prayer speaks more than any priests words. It just takes an open heart and a clear mind and an invitation to our Heavenly Father. For He is always there, whether we call on Him or not.
It's pretty sad that there has to be a day of prayer to get some people to pray but I guess we should be happy some activist group hasn't taken it off the calendar yet.
So just pretend your in the movie 'Groundhog Day' and re-live tomorrow as if it were National Prayer day all over again and JUST DO IT!
