NATIONAL DAY OF PRAYER - MAY 1

If my people, who are called by my name, will humble
themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from
their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and
will forgive their sin and will heal their land.
II Chronicles 7:14 (NIV)

The National Day of Prayer is an annual event in
which millions of American unite to pray for our
country and leaders. As we continue to see our
society decay, both spiritually and morally, many
of us can't help but ask, "Is there hope for America?"

One day I realized God feels the same way about me,
only hundreds of times more, because I'm his child
(John 1:12)! Whether I'm walking, driving across town,
or sending a prayer heavenward from my computer,
he delights in hearing from me—not just once a day,
but throughout the day. Scripture says he "inclines
his ear" and is "open to hear" my prayers (Psalm 40:134:15).
