National Day of Prayer
Today across the United States, believers will gather in observance of the National Day of Prayer. Since President Woodrow Wilson, the day has been marked by a proclamation from the President acknowledging our need for God and His blessing on our individual lives and nation. This year's observance looks to be the largest in many years.
The United States is truly in a defining moment in history. But we cannot think we can pray one day out of the year and expect God to ignore our rebellion, our apathy, and our embaracing many different ways to Him. There is ONLY ONE WAY: it's through the Blood of Jesus Christ! Let us go from today and make prayer our lifestyle…not a once a year event!
I do believe the best is yet to come for America! But we as the church MUST repent of our sins before we can expect the government to repent of theirs! Could this be the genesis of the next Great Awakening?
I pray SO!

I am very glad that you talked about National Prayer Day on your website and our need to repent as a nation!!
I strongly believe I’ve been given a word– to any and all Christians who are interested in revival in this nation and hopefully to mitigate (perhaps) the judgement we are now under from God. I invite anyone and everyone to visit my blog at the following web address:

Does anyone doubt that America is under God’s judgement? You shouldn’t: the Gulf Oil Disaster is in some quarters being nicknamed “America’s Chernobyl.” We are under severe judgment, and unless we repent we will be destroyed. In fact, some argue that it’s too late, that we’re going to be destroyed anyway–and I can’t find it in my heart to call that a false prophecy.
Yet, there *may* be hope yet. I offer this word not because I desire to be a false prophet, but because I was given it last year and failed to pass it on sinfully…and this word may produce hope for the Christians who follow it. “Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy” (Matthew 5:7, KJV).
