May 1, 2008


Today is the 57th National Day Of Pray and the theme for today is Prayer! America's Strength & Shield. Psalm 28:7 says "The Lord is my strength and shield: My heart trusts in Him and I am helped" Hubby and I attended a Pray breakfast this morning and with a mixed group of individuals prayed for our United States of America and the President of our nation, Mr. George W. Bush. In a pamphlet we received at the time, it encourages us to, also pray for our military, media, business, education, Church, and family. Also in the pamphlet it explained why we should pray and I want to quote from it:
"This year, the American people will elect the officials in the Federal and State Government. Whatever the outcome, we know those assuming positions of leadership will bring their own ideas, priorities, and visions for the future of our great nation.
In the midst of such change, uncertainty abounds; yet, we do not need to fear. God is sovereign and nothing comes as a surprise to Him. Whether we face fluctuating economics, threats from abroad, unrest at home, or other troubling circumstance, our Heavenly Father is not caught unaware. Through pray, we are able to tap into His wisdom. strength, protection, and peace. He stands ready to respond to our needs when we humbly ask for divine intervention in the affairs of men."

My pray is that thousands of people have been to events to pray for our nation and our Government representatives.

Good Evening Joyce,
I had seen on t.v. where this day was National Day of Prayer. I don't know if they held anything around here for it or not. Last week I have been in bed mostly with a toothache. I have been taking antibiotics and Iboprofen for it since last week. It's still bothering me some. We all do need to be in constant prayer for our Country, Government, Military, and especially our President. Also the upcoming Presidential Election as well. This world has gotten alot worse in the last few years and I just don't know how much more GOD will let it go before HIS return. I did put up a new post this morning and I have been visiting some when I feel like it. Take care my friend and have a great evening. May God Bless You and Yours.

Love & Hugs,
Karen H.
