National Day of Prayer

 

The 65th annual National Day of Prayer is set to be observed on May 5, 2016. And they have our back, down under, for the last 40 days.

 

(reference:  https://youtu.be/PHG5SoXOQoA )

 

The National Day of Prayer has a long history in the United States. It started in 1775 by the Continental Congress. Ronald Reagan amended Harry Truman's bill, designating the day of the first Thursday of May each year for the National Day of Prayer. [reference:  National Day of Prayer in the United States ]

As we come to this week, other nations have America in their prayers, such as Australia with a ....


Global Call: Prayer and Fasting for America

 

Below is an appeal for that global call for prayer and fasting for America: April 30 - May 5, 2016. The example is Abraham Lincoln's call for a national day of prayer and fasting during the Civil War on April 30, 1863. [ reference: Abraham Lincoln: Proclamation 97 ]

 

(reference:  https://youtu.be/lKFTLjcS4LE )

 

Before the United States became of nation, events in the past indicated Providence had intervened during time of peril. One such crisis was the French Fleet, seeking vengeance on Britain and the American Colonies in 1746, which brought about the ...

 

Fast Day Proclamation, October 16, 1746

* reference: The Miraculous Defeat of the French Fleet, 1746

 

Another great crisis in American history came during the Civil War. This rift brought America to her knees. So came the call for a ...

 

Day of Repentance – April 30, 1863

 

Abraham Lincoln's proclamation of a National Day of Humiliation, prayer and Fasting for 30th April 1863 is read in the clip below with an appeal for forgiveness:

 

 

Ezekiel Prayer for America

 

I looked for someone 
among them 
who would ...

stand before Me in the gap 

on behalf of the land ....

 

Ezekiel 22:30 (NIV)

 

And Australia is standing the gap for our land with this prayer:

 

 

 

If My people, 
which are called by My Name, 
shall 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 4:17 (KJV)
 

 

Keep praying for America
