Today is the National Day of Prayer

Let us join together in prayer to our holy God. Let us obediantly lift up our government and leaders in prayer. May we also pray for the unsaved and lost in this world that they may come to know God and accept Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior.

Here are some scriptures to encourage us to fellowship with God in prayer today and everyday...

Matthew 18:20

For where two or three are gathered together in My name, I am there in the midst of them.”

Philippians 4:6-7

Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

2 Thessalonians 3:1

Finally, brethren, pray for us, that the word of the Lord may run swiftly and be glorified, just as it is with you,

James 5:16

Confess your trespasses to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much.

National Day of Prayer

Tomorrow is the National Day of Prayer whether our government decides to honor it or not. As Christians we need to faithfully get on our knees in prayer to our Lord. We need to turn to God and prayerfully lift up our nation and especially government. Let us gather together in prayer as God has called us to do.


Matthew 18:20
For where two or three are gathered together in My name, I am there in the midst of them.”

2My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials, 3knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience. 4But let patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing.

Dear Lord,
Help me to count it all joy when I am dealing with various trials. Your Word promises that the testing of my faith will produce patience. Give me your strength to let patience have it's perfect work.
