May 5, 2011, is National Day of Prayer. Many people of many faiths will be praying for many things.
I won’t be praying that God make this a Christian nation. But, I will be praying that followers of Jesus Christ:
- Turn their heads away from deceptive philosophy and deceit (Colossians 2:8)
- Encourage one another and build one another up (1 Thessalonians 5:11)
- Train for godliness (1 Timothy 4:7-10)
- Set an example in speech, conduct, love, faith and purity (1 Thessalonias 4:12)
- Build our houses on the Rock (Matthew 7:24-27)
- Bring little children to Jesus (Mark 10:14)
- Love the Lord our God and our neighbors as ourselves (Mark 12:30-31)
If we who believe in the Lord Jesus Christ ask Him to help us live in ways that bring Him the glory, this country will be a better place. A safer place. Institutions of marriage and family, health, law, education, church, and government will be influenced for “the people’s good.”
Generations will know the mercies of God.
A–MEN! Well put Ezerwoman.
