Governor McMaster recently declared Sundays as a National day of prayer, a day to remember the ones that are fighting COVID-19, the heroes on the front lines, and the families of the ones that have lost their lives.

Matthew 6:9-13 sets an example of how a person should pray.

“This, then, is how you should pray:

 Our Father in heaven,

hallowed be your name,

Your kingdom come,

Your will be done,

on earth as it is in heaven.

(Acknowledge God and give Honor to Him, ask all things to be done is His will)

Give us today our daily bread.

And forgive us our debts,

as we also have forgiven our debtors.

(Ask for forgiveness and provision for your needs – not list of wants)

And lead us not into temptation,

but deliver us from the evil one.

(Ask for God to help you overcome and temptations or sins you are struggling with. Submit to God and let Him deliver you from Satan’s ways)

Today, I want you to realize that prayer does not have to be a sermon of fancy words or a night time ritual that puts you to sleep, it’s much more than that.

Prayer is personal. It is direct communication with your Heavenly Father.

It is great that our state supports a national day of prayer; however, we need to make sure we are treating every day as a day of prayer.

The Bible says is 1 Thessalonians 5:17 to “pray continually.”

Prayer is your most powerful tool as a follower of Christ. Let’s take this day and every day and declare it days of prayer!

Become a prayer warrior and watch the world change!

Praying for you always!

May God bless you and show you His grace every day!
