Each National Day of Prayer brings special blessings. This year as I read along with all the written prayer requests and saw all the different states that people were joining me from it gave me strength. I was especially touched by hearing the vocal requests that had come in. It actually brought tears to my eyes and brought peace to my heart, and I can’t wait to see how God is going to answer the prayers of his people across the United States! Praise to you Lord, for answering many already!

The event was held in the municipal courthouse and the room was full, with overflow in the corridor, with approximately 200 people in attendance. To my surprise, there were about 30 high school students attending. The event was hosted by the city Police Department, where I found out from the Chief of Police that several of the detectives and officers will pray for God’s guidance before they take action. I assured the Chief that I pray daily for first responders and government employees.
