"The grand object in prayer is to be, that the Holy Spirit may be poured down on our ministers and churches, that sinners may be converted, the saints edified, the interest of religion revived, and the name of God glorified. At the same time remember, we trust you will not confine your requests to your own societies (i.e. churches) or to your own immediate connection (i.e. denomination); let the whole interest of Redeemer be affectionately remembered, and the spread of the gospel to the most distant parts of the habitable globe be the object of your most fervent requests. We shall rejoice if any other Christian societies of our own or other denomination will unite with us, and do now invite them most cordially to join heart and hand in the attempt. "Who can tell what the consequences of such an united effort in prayer may be! Let us plead with God the many gracious promises of His word, which relate to the future success of His gospel. He has said, 'I will yet for this be inquired of by the house of Israel, to do it for them, I will increase them with men like a flock' (Ezek. 36:37). Surely we have love enough for Zion to set apart one hour at a time, twelve times in a year, to seek her welfare." --John Sutcliff 1784 Dear Friends, There are many obstacles this year to the National Day of Prayer preparations that take place in our community. Clearly there are challanges brought by the Enemy, and many other contributing factors. To date, we have managed to keep it a soldily Christian time of prayer. Would you -- brothers and sisters in the Lord -- please pray with us and for us that God will provide, strength, leadership, laborers, and opportunities to continue this year to His glory. Thank you. In Him, Doc |

2 | National Day of Prayer | 2 Chr 7:14 | Searcher56 | 147462 | ||
2 Chronicles 7:14 is a promise of Israel only, based on the context. We need to pray with the focus on our holy Father in heaven, knowing the vast difference in our place in life and His. That His will be done (not our wants ... He knows our needs, including tomorrow's bread) and we as His servants a willing to obey. Plus we are to forgive each other then ask God for forgiveness. Since the evil one is around, we need to ask for prayer for His help in deliverance ... we cannot do it ourselves. We know it is for His kingdom ... He provides all the power ... and it is only for His glory Luke 11:1ff |
