This morning, thousands of students around the country gathered around their school's flag pole to pray for America. That is powerful.
This event started in 1990. In 2005, it was recorded that over two million students showed up around the country to pray.
Every 23rd of September, this prayer event takes place. It has changed lives. Why is this event so powerful?
God has given humans the opportunity to pray. When we pray God's will, we are releasing His will on earth. It is already ready in heaven. Our prayers activate it. This is not because of any power we have. We are the ones praying, not because God needs us to but because He chose to need us to pray.
How awesome is that? God chose to need us. It is such a humbling thought. It makes it easier to remember that we are not using our power. God is using His power through us.
I can't imagine not having the gift of prayer. It is truly an amazing
thing to experience. We have the chance to talk to God, the Creator of
the Universe, the Lord of all the earth, the Mighty Judge, and Savior of
the World. There is not much better than this gift!
Our country is in need of prayer. America has changed drastically over the years, decades, centuries. We are not the same country as when the Declaration of Independence or the Constitution was written. It is no longer a Christian-based country. We still have freedoms, but they seem to be shrinking day by day.
America needs prayer. We should be praying for America every day. This event is not the one time a year we should pray for our country, but a time to get with everyone else, across the states, and pray.
