"There is no great movement of God that has ever occurred that does not begin with the extraordinary prayer of God's people." Those are the encouraging words of the new chairman of the National Day of Prayer, Dr. Ronnie Floyd. Next Thursday, May 3, Americans everywhere will have an opportunity to kneel together before God and appeal for the kind of unity we need to move forward as a country. As Dr. Floyd reminds us, the National Day of Prayer belongs to all Americans. It's a day that transcends differences, bringing together citizens from all backgrounds. Mrs. Shirley Dobson, NDP chairman emeritus, has said before, "We have lost many of our freedoms in America because we have been asleep. I feel if we do not become involved and support the annual National Day of Prayer, we could end up forfeiting this freedom, too."
Next week's theme is Pray for America: Unity, based on Ephesians 4:3. Dr. Floyd's hope is that individuals, churches, and spiritual leaders in America, will humble ourselves and unify in prevailing prayer for the next great move of God in America. We can come together in clear agreement that this is our greatest need. We can become a visible union, standing together in prayer. We can pray more than ever before, and practice extraordinary prayer for the next great move of God in America that will catapult the message of the gospel nationally and internationally.
