National Day of Prayer should be every moment of each day.

Some call this the prayer of an unknown confederate soldier; others say it was found on the body of a World War one soldier. The author is lost. I have no doubt that this prayer is the cry of all our hearts, especially in light of world events.
“Prayer”
I asked for strength that I might achieve.

I was made weak that I might learn humbly to obey.

I asked for health that I might do greater things.

I was given infirmity that I might do better things.

I asked for riches that I might be happy.

I was given poverty that I might be wise.

I asked for power that I might have the praise of people.

I was given weakness that I might feel the need of God.

I asked for all things that I might enjoy life;

I was given life that I might enjoy all things.

I got nothing that I had asked for,

Everything that I had hoped for.

Almost despite myself my unspoken prayers were answered,

I am, among all people, most richly blessed.

“Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened. “Which of you, if your son asks for bread, will give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a snake? If you, then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good gifts to those who ask him!
Matthew 7:7-11 NIV

Prayer isn’t a ritual that depends on closing our eyes and putting on holy faces. We don’t have to kneel or sit. Prayer is talking while were walking, driving, or working. We don’t even have to open our mouth to talk cause God hears our heart. God responds to our cry for help in the middle of a busy afternoon. When we read the bible He gives us His input that can help us through anything. Praying doesn’t have to be hard. God wants us to communicate with Him. He is our Abba Father, friend and the one who is here for us when everyone walks out. He saves, guides, provides, encourages, Bless’s and provides miracles with His promises. God is our all and all. Embrace Him today like He embraces you when you are unaware of Him, He holds you still. National Day of Prayer is everyday. “Isaiah 41:13 For I am the LORD your God, who takes hold of your right hand and tells you: Do not fear, I will help you.
