Called to Pray by the Staff of On The Go and the Presidential Prayer Team
The Staff at On The Go Ministries and the Presidential Prayer Team would like to invite you to join us in celebrating the "National Day of Prayer"!
"Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God." Philippians 4:6
"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." 2 Chronicles 7:14
Tomorrow is the day set aside as the National Day of Prayer across America. God is the only hope for America. Prayer is a powerful weapon. Prayer can break through strongholds, which have stood firm for years. God wants His Children to become mighty, active prayer warriors! It is an unprecedented opportunity to see the Lord's healing and renewing power made manifest as we call on citizens to humbly come before His throne. The mission of the National Day of Prayer is mobilizes unified public prayer for America.
In times when our thoughts are often full of anxiety, please know that God never changes. "Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever." Hebrews 13:8 Prayer is an opportunity to praise God for His mighty works, His gift of freedom, His mercy, and His boundless love. He is sovereign and nothing comes as a surprise to Him.Prayer taps into God's wisdom, strength, protection, and peace. His Glory shines and is spread across America as we humble ourselves in prayer and exalt Him in praise.
Our theme for 2020 is Pray God's Glory Across the Earth. To further highlight our theme, we've chosen Habakkuk 2:14 as our Scripture for this year: "For the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord as the waters cover the sea."
Through prayer, we are able to tap into His wisdom, strength, power, protection, and peace. He stands ready to respond to our needs when we humbly ask for His divine intervention.
At this crucial time for our nation, we can do nothing more important than pray. Thank you in advance for making this spiritual discipline a personal priority and for standing with us as we encourage others to incorporate prayer in their lives. The Lord has graciously anointed our efforts, empowering them to touch and change many hearts and lives. Pray for God's Glory to Spread Across America.
