I hope you will take time to join millions of Americans to pray for our nation on Thursday, May 6th. If your church or a neighboring church is not opening its doors, you may want to invite a few friends to join you and your family.
The theme of this year's National Day of Prayer is:
Prayer - For such a time as this.
"The LORD is good, a refuge in times of trouble. He cares for those who trust in Him" Nahum 1:7
Pray humbly and with a repentant heart for our sins and the sins of our nation. Have we shared God's heart for the poor? (Matthew 25:37) the fatherless? the stranger in our midst? (Matthew 25:38) Have we done justice, loved kindness and walked humbly with our God? (Micah 6:8) Are we guilty of trusting in the "multitude of our chariots... but have not looked to the Holy One of Israel?" (Isaiah 31:1)
God have mercy on us and forgive us for Christ's sake.

PS Do not let controversy about the event keep you from praying; it will not keep God from hearing and answering!
PPS Would you please report back and tell us about your experience? We would like to share it with others.
