Yes! The World Needs It!

Today is the National Day of Prayer and it might surprise our readers to hear that, according to Wikipedia, the National Day of Prayer shares common roots with the celebration of Thanksgiving.  

Both were national proclamations establishing a day of prayer, but in the New England Colonies under British rule, traditional observances in late fall called for prayer and thanksgiving, while observances in the spring or summer called for prayer and fasting.   The fall observance was established by President Abraham Lincoln as the official Thanksgiving holiday in 1863.   The spring observance was not established until later, in 1952, by President Harry S. Truman as the National Day of Prayer.

So, whatever your belief system might be, take an hour today and dedicate it to praying for the world.  We KNOW it will make a difference and, certainly, right now, the world desperately needs it!

In communion,
