There
seems to be escalating chaos and crisis day by day. I know you
must see it too. So, what can we do about it? Well, one
thing is for sure. We must increase our seeking the LORD for
help to stop the shootings, heal the sick, bestow wisdom in our
government, and provide finances and counsel for our families.
Wouldn’t it be more powerful to come to Him together – be a
united voice to His throne?
Did
you know there is a national network of volunteers who coordinate
prayer events on the National Day of Prayer, the First Thursday every
May? Every state has a leader who helps these volunteers by
praying with them, giving advice and ideas so that more prayer is
mobilized in cities, counties and throughout our nation. Some prayer
walk an area, some prayer drive with others, while others have a
prayer breakfast or noon prayer time at city hall or at school
flagpoles. The LORD is creative and certainly our advocate for
prayer, so the ways and places to pray abound.
Will
you help us pray for America where you live? You are
needed! As Director of Prayer Mobilization, I thank God for the
increase I have seen in prayer through my ten years with National Day
of Prayer Task Force. Yet, there are gaps in our country where
prayer does not abound on NDP. May 1 is the National Day
of Prayer, the 63rd annual observance. Why not step
forward? You will have this network to help you and even
better, God’s favor as He loves prayer!
In
December, the National Area Leaders of NDP and I gathered in
Kansas City to pray over this national network. While
there, the NDP Task Force was recognized with the Issachar Award from
Bott Radio Network. The plaque highlights the
Scriptures of 2 Chronicles 7:14 and I Chronicles 12:32 with the
inscription:
Because they understood the times and Revival
is preceded by prayer.
President,
Rich Bott, stated: “God bless you for the great work
being done with the National Day of Prayer. We were blessed to
have your team visit us and pray for Bott Radio Network and our
listeners. These are critical days, and we are trusting God for
another Great Awakening. We certainly need it. Thank you
for the opportunity we have to partner with you in ministry.”
You
could be part of this great mission too and help us usher in
revival through prayer. Don’t live with wonder of what to do with
all that concerns you. Start today and be part of a national
effort to transform lives through intercession and prayer. Go
to nationaldayofprayer.org and visit the ‘volunteer’ tab for
information. You can be an answer to my own prayers by clicking
‘Step 3’ to fill out the application!
You
might be thinking, why pray on just one Thursday a year?
NDP does mobilize all year, while we seek to maximize the annual day
nationwide. Actually every day there is a 10:45 a.m. and 10:00
p.m. prayer call (based on ET; adjust to your time zone). So, I
invite you to join us anytime, even on holidays: 712-432-0075,
passcode: 4961322#.
With
your help, we can better fulfill our mission of 2014, One
Voice, United in Prayer based on Romans 15:6, “With one mind
and one voice – glorify the God and Father of our Lord
Jesus Christ.” So, I challenge you to get involved,
‘volunteer’ and become ‘one’ in prayer this year with
thousands of others! Together, we become
One
Voice before our Lord!

My
comments:
We
thank God for every person who is involved in this wonderful
ministry.
That they would be blessed of God.
We
pray that through this ministry the lost would come to know the Savior;
That
those who have made a confession of Faith would be strengthened;
That
the Church of God would, “turn the world upside down,” again,
Which
is really right side up,
As
did the early Church, by the Power of the Living God;
That
what is good would be called good and what would be called evil;
That
God would Grace America with another Great Awakening;
Making
every soul in America aware of the reality
Of
the soon return of Christ Jesus and the judgment to follow;
That
many would turn to Christ Jesus and be saved.
