National Day of Prayer

Hello Everyone! Today is the National Day of Prayer. One thing I am learning in my class this semester is that a lot of the things our nation was founded upon goes back to having freedoms with our spiritual lives. I'm so grateful to live in a country that allows me to worship God freely.

In the spirit of this day dedicated to prayer, I want to encourage you to make sure you talk to God today more than you usually do. If you pray once a day, try twice. If you do a morning and evening prayer, throw in a lunchtime one too. Just up the ante.

Some of you might even use this day as an open door to offer prayer to someone else: You know today is the National Day of Prayer. You want me to pray for you for anything? And then take them to the throne room. Right then and there.


Prayer is simply talking with God. It doesn't always have to be deep. It doesn't always have to be some super-spiritual ritual. It's just a conversation between you and your Creator. That's all.

Just make sure it's a conversation though. Don't do all the talking. Give the Lord a chance to reply. God desires to speak with us. He loves to interact and fellowship with His people. Don't let today pass by without spending some time talking to Him.

God Bless America!

Verse of the Day: But verily God hath heard me; he hath attended to the voice of my prayer. Blessed be God, which hath not turned away my prayer, nor his mercy from me. Psalm 66:19, 20
