National Day of Prayer

"The LORD is good, a refuge in times of trouble. He cares for those who trust in Him" Nahum 1:7

On May 6th the 59th annual National Day of Prayer will be observed around the country, and here in North Dakota. To learn more about the national event go to www.nationaldayofprayer.org . While at the NDP site you will be able to find sites where a National Day of Prayer event will be held, including those in North Dakota (also below).

Let us encourage you to take part in one of these planned events. If you live in an area where an event has not yet been planned, please consider doing so. While it may be difficult to complete the process (between now & May 6th) of officially linking to the national organization, you can organize an unofficial event. Let your prayers be lifted, and immediately after your event start the process of linking your next event to the 2011 National Day of Prayer site. Let us know and we will put you in contact with the North Dakota state NDP coordinators. Also if you are planning a prayer event this year, but not linked to the national event—let us know, and we will send out a notice via email and post on our website.

The power of prayer is awesome and undeniable. It is more powerful than any earthquake, flood, hurricane, or tsunami—or all those combined from the beginning of time. It is more powerful than any army, or navy, or all the nuclear warheads in the world. We serve a mighty God, a God of justice, the Almighty. And yet, He responds to the call of His people with love and compassion—reminiscent of the purity and beauty we would see in the face of a newborn baby. If we will only call on Him, He will heal our land. For He is good. On May 6th, and every day, let us fall on our knees and call on Him.
