May 5 is National Day of Prayer.
Our community is hosting a time of prayer from 6:30 to 7:30 in the city park. Many people of various faiths will be praying for many things. On April 8, I posted a blog explaining that I won’t be praying that God make this a Christian nation. Instead, 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 Thessalonians 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.
