The first Thursday of May is a "National Day of Prayer." Government declared it so. Did you know that? It has been this way for quite a few years, but I never hear the churches making any todo about it. Why not? We say that the government is way secular and lacks a sound spirituality. Here we get the same government giving us a day of prayer and we neither hold their foot to the fire, nor try to work with them to actually have a "DAY" of prayer for all. I think we are all too tribal. If our tribal group does not propose it, then we ignore it. Pity.
Next year, we should make sure to plan ahead and observe the celebration with day long prayer - that would be a plan! Will you lead us?
