Yesterday was the national day of Prayer. People all over the country joined to humble themselves and to pray for our country. I do not have the numbers of denominations present, but we had many “flavors” of Evangelicals, and Charismatics along with Catholics, Greek Orthodox, Seventh Day Adventists and more for Noon Prayer yesterday. We met at the State House to worship, repent and to pray for the Nation. Time was spent focused on each of the following areas: Government, Church, Military, Family, Education, Media and Business.

Did you find a way to observe the National Day of Prayer? I would love to hear what you did. If you did not know, or forgot, there is no time like the present to pray for our nation. Please pick one of the areas I just listed and take one minute to pray for the United States.

Please consider praying 30 seconds to a minute each say for a week using one of the segments of our nation listed above in bold.

About the author

Andrea Van Boven (Madden): I like to think I am a radical lover of Jesus, but I live in a house and pay bills and look like I fit in with respectable society, like most people. What goes on in my head and heart are hopefully the things that betray the look of "normal" that comes at first glance. I hope those things inside of me seep out to actions as well as words of hope and encouragement. I pray that these in turn will lead others to know the loving Creator who knows us so intimately that he has a number for every hair on every head.
