The First Thursday of May is the National Day of Pray each year. The history behind prayer in this nation is extrordary, the history behind the National Day of Prayer is fascinating.

It's not so much about looking as what others are doing around us, but it's looking internally as a people, a nation and acknowledging our own sins, turning away from it and asking God for mercy because we have drifted so far away from his spiritual and physical laws. The very spiritual and physical laws that hold individuals, families, towns, cities, states, a nation together.

The lawlessness around us that we see is not new, one just has to open the Bible and read that lawlessness has been in the hearts of mankind from the beginning. Without God Almighty in our lives, we are nothing and have no hope. Mankind left to themselves because worse then wild animals tearing eachother apart.

Never in our days have we seen such lawlessness around us and it's destroying the lives of individuals, families, communities, our nation, and it's all around us.

God says:
"If my people who are called by my name will humble themselves, and pray and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land" This wisdom emphasizes humility, repentance, and seeking God individually first, promising healing and restoration individually and collectively.

Here on this National Day of Prayer 🙏, lets take time internally to humble ourselves, seek God and trully turn from our wicked ways.

If we are trully honest with ourselves, we all have junk in our trunks, different junk, different size trunks, nevertheless junk that needs cleaned up in our lives. Here, today, on this National Day of Prayer, lets acknowledge that junk to God, give him that trunk and ask him for the help to get it cleaned up, and the strength to follow through. It all starts internally and individually with US 😉!

History 🙏:

Days of Prayer have a long history in America. Colonists declared Days of Prayer during droughts, Indian attacks and threats from other nations.

We are so thankful for the donations we get to share each day to help others. Trying to take care of a loved one who recently had a stroke can be challenging and expensive. From four different donors we had a wheelchair, this "like new" sit & stand lift, bed pads, adult diaper and wipes to share. Thank you Vera, Pam, Gretchen, Costco, Northern Illinois Food Bank, your donations are changing lives!
