Our National Day of Prayer
I was so busy this week I forgot about the National Day of Prayer! Shame on me! I will honor our nation today, as I do every day. I’m am glad to be an American living in a country free to practice my religion. From the President’s comments here:
Prayer is a gift from Almighty God that transforms us, whether we bow
our heads in solitude, or offer swift and silent prayers in times of
trial. Prayer humbles us by reminding us of our place in creation.
Prayer strengthens us by reminding us that God loves and cares for each
and every soul in His creation. And prayer blesses us by reminding us
that there is a divine plan that stands above all human plans.In the stillness and peace of prayer we surrender our will to God’s
will, and we learn to serve His eternal purposes. By opening ourselves
to God’s priorities, our hearts are stirred and we are inspired to
action — to feed the hungry, to reach out to the poor, to bring aid to
a widow or to an orphan or to the less fortunate.
