Embracing Him

JT and I listen to Christian radio as we complete our morning routine. As I listened this morning, one particular program blessed me and encouraged me.

A few weeks ago, Focus on the Family asked listeners to call the organization and record a prayer in observance of tomorrow’s National Day of Prayer. Focus on the Family received hundreds of calls and several prayers were broadcast today and more will be broadcast tomorrow.

During this morning’s broadcast, I was moved by the sincere prayers offered by men, women, and even children all across the nation. Throughout the thirty minute broadcast, heartfelt prayers for our nation, our children, our President, our troops, our schools, our churches, our economy, and our hearts poured forth.

Though the prayers were beautiful, I was struck by just how much we all need to pray for! Tomorrow marks the 58th observance of The National Day of Prayer and the theme is Prayer: America’s Hope.  This special day is a great opportunity for us to join people all over the country who have gathered to pray for our nation. The girls and I are eager to participate so we will be attending a children’s prayer event in the afternoon.

If you cannot attend a National Day of Prayer event, you can still participate! Take time to pray at home alone and with your family. Turn off the radio and pray in the car. Partake in an online prayer rally sponsored by The Presidential Prayer Team, an organization dedicated to praying for our President and his administration or watch The National Day of Prayer festivities on Tangle.

Won’t you join us as we participate in The National Day of Prayer? When we take the time to pray, amazing things can happen! Let’s pray together and see what God does!
