National Day of Prayer- May 1

I was thinking about what to do on the National Day of Prayer and one thing came to mind...pray!
Throughout the day I thought of the many people that are taking this day to be intentional about prayer. But can't we do that everyday? We have this freedom to pray and read the Bible in our country that many other countries in the world do not have. So why not today or tomorrow or everyday be a national day of prayer.

One verse that comes to mind is Philippians 4:6-7 which Apostle Paul is telling the people in Philippi
"Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus."

What Paul said to the Philippians and which holds true to us as well is that we don't need to worry or be anxious about our day. By praying and presenting our requests to God, we are acting our our faith showing that we trust God. When we pray and truly hand over the worries to God, He gives us a peace that is beyond understanding.

Here are a few things from the National Day of Prayer website:
http://www.ndptf.org/7x7/index.cfm
"The National Day of Prayer Task Force's mission is to communicate with every individual the need for personal repentance and prayer, mobilizing the Christian community to intercede for America and its leadership in the seven centers of power: Government, Military, Media, Business, Education, Church and Family."
"7x7 involves praying for seven centers of power seven days a week: Government, Military, Media, Business, Education, Church and Family. "

For the sake of the Gospel,
