The National Day of Prayer - Thursday, May 3, 2007
Today marked the 56th annual National Day of Prayer, the day designated by Congress when people of all religious backgrounds are asked to come together and pray.
About 70 people met at CCAC to worship and pray. It was a good time of fellowship, meeting new people, and interceding with the Lord on topics such as government, family, school, media, and military. The prayer portion lasted only 45 minutes, and I do wish it was much longer, because only a couple people from my group were able to pray before Pastor David interrupted and directed everybody to the next topic. And no, we weren't very verbose pray-ers.
Praying really isn't that bad after all. I really need to make it a regular discipline. Maybe I'll start coming out to weekly prayer meetings. Praying aloud is so much easier than praying in your head, because when you're speaking, you're much less likely to get distracted or lose your train of thought. And being with other people is encouraging.
