National Daily Prayer

2007-04-24T15:10:00.000-07:00

National Daily Prayer is a call to ALL people to pray for their city, country and continent. This is a day when people are calling out to God for "peace", "peace", and there no peace. Why? We need to not only call out to God for peace, but we must also call out to the Peacemaker, upon Whose Shoulders and governments and rulers rest.

The news items you will read talk in some fashion about the need and function of prayer in the affairs of mankind. Please read what captures your attention . . . and pray the issue or need back to God Himself. We must learn to seek His Face as we make up the Hedge and Stand in the Gap with prayer.
