I am going to follow the link you gave for Ann Graham Lotz's call to prayer.

I need to be more dedicated to praying for our country and our leaders. It's so easy to stick our heads in the sand and think that there's nothing we can do. But, there is, prayer makes a difference and if all Christians would covet to pray believing, we just might begin to see a difference.

I'm standing with you. I remember my dad saying that verse so many times. He would say "If my people..." and we all knew the rest, as we do today.<br /><br />Good words Debbie.<br />Love you!http://bitsandpieces-sonja.blogspot.com/https://www.blogger.com/profile/09254831447887637714noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1282814980296803369.post-7153093123439852982014-06-23T14:02:46.886-07:002014-06-23T14:02:46.886-07:00Amen and Amen.

He is calling he shots whether leaders want to acknowledge it or not. That gives me peace despite the temptation to succumb to fear (or anger when people act like idiots! lol!). Thank you for this great reminder, Debbie!Cindyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15583817947078375493noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1282814980296803369.post-83739388664273230982014-06-23T07:38:10.965-07:002014-06-23T07:38:10.965-07:00I'm believing with you for that revival, Debbi...I'm believing with you for that revival, Debbie. It would change everything if Christians would rise up and take a stand for truth. I pray that we Christians will not only pray but become educated and vote.<br /><br />I like to sit outside too in my garden and watch the sun come up and pray with the birds in the background!Saleslady371https://www.blogger.com/profile/15962608799409882219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1282814980296803369.post-63406216351179348572014-06-23T07:25:19.581-07:002014-06-23T07:25:19.581-07:00Praise, Pray and accepting the Peace of the Lord f...Praise, Pray and accepting the Peace of the Lord first, everyday is a great start and brings joy. Then, as in James 1:17-25, use your God given gifts for others and be an example of what the world can be.

What is going on around us is truly heart wrenching. And that is my prayer, too. That many, out of desperation will be driven to His cross. It's sad. Each day. Joining you in prayers. For our nation. For the leaders. For our family. Love and blessings to you sister. Your "prayer corner" is peaceful as I look at it and sip my coffee. Leaving you with a prayer...Have a great rest of the week. Remaining strong in the Lord's power.RCUBEshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03726426726039665564noreply@blogger.com
