Thursday, May 7 was the National Day of Prayer. Believers gathered in various spots from the East Cost to the West Coast to pray for our nation-its leaders, its citizens, its economy…and more!
President Harry Truman first recognized the day in 1952. Some states have organized events that heads of state attend. But we don’t need a special day, time or place to pray. It is part of the every day life of a Jesus-follower. We can pray while getting ready for our day, driving to work, taking a lunch break or working out.
No matter where, we encourage you to get your day off to a great start by spending some time in prayer. Connecting with God in this way gives a powerful boost to help handle whatever comes your way throughout the day.
Prayer does not change God, but it changes him who prays. ~Søren Kierkegaard
