Making every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace. Ephesians 4:3
Today is National Day of Prayer. This day was created in 1952 by a joint resolution of Congress and signed into law by President Harry S. Truman. In 1988, President Ronald Reagan designated the first Thursday of May as a National Day of Prayer. Every president since 1952 has signed a National Day of Prayer proclamation. The theme for this year is Pray for America - Unity. In Weatherford, there will be a National Day of Prayer Rally at Heritage Park Amphitheater tonight at 6:30.
Prayer brings people together and brings hope. America needs some hope right now. Things seem to be upside down and backwards. God is absolutely the only thing that can turn this country around because it has to start in people’s hearts. We are His people and He will use us to fulfill His purposes. Let’s join together and pray while we can. We take this beautiful freedom for granted. We may not always have the freedom to gather in mass and pray.

PRAY4UNITY AMONG ALL ETHNICITIES AND PEOPLE IN AMERICA.Since each of us is made in the image of God, we each bear His image regardless of the color of our skin or the uniqueness of our ethnicity. Through the death of Jesus Christ on the cross, He has torn down the wall of division among all ethnicities and people. In God alone, we unify and live in peace with one another; standing as one people against all racial and ethnic division, denouncing it as sin and not God’s will for us.
PRAY4UNITY THAT WE AGREE CLEARLY, UNITE VISIBLY, AND PRAY EXTRAORDINARILY FOR THE NEXT GREAT SPIRITUAL AWAKENING IN AMERICA.Preceding the epic movement of God on the day of Pentecost in Acts 2, Jesus’ people were continually united in prayer together.

Call upon God to bring spiritual awakening now in America shaping the future of America, just as the Great Spiritual Awakenings in our history have shaped our spiritual heritage as a nation.
