Once again, the nation joins together on the first Thursday of May to come before God, humble themselves, and seek His face so we can hear from heaven. And rarely before, have we been more in need of God’s touch and intervention. In this anniversary year when we are celebrating 70 years, seven decades of prayer for America, it would be easy to rest on our laurels, but we cannot. We must press into each day and the coming decades even MORE fervently, knowing that the challenges for our nation are INCREASING, not DECREASING! Per the NDP’s website: “Imagine what our nation would look like if God’s people had not been praying. From the beginning, prayer has been woven into the very fabric of our nation … it has been the thread that God has used to knit us together and to hold our nation together. Now imagine America without prayer – if weary hearts were tattered and torn into silence. We are the ones who are called to mend the fraying fabric of our culture, by appealing to our God who is able to do exceedingly, abundantly above what we can even ask or think! Now that’s an America that I want to imagine!” Boise and the surrounding Treasure Valley will again be joining other believers on the Idaho Capitol steps for a revamped event, encouraging prayer from every participant woven with powerful worship from a worship team and a large community choir made up of singers from all over the valley. If you are in the Treasure Valley join us at 6 pm on Thursday, May 6 at the Capitol in downtown Boise. Let’s all activate our prayers and put our voices and faith to work…find a local event where you can participate. Ephesians 6:18 reminds us to “pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord’s people.”
