"Pray, People, Pray!"
(A Booster Reprint from May 4, 2000)
Down the Path to the Well--a thought to remember along the way
One of my favorite stories is about the little boy misbehaving in church. His dad picked him up, took him out, and as they quickly moved down the aisle, the little boy, knowing he was about to get a well-deserved spanking, was heard to fervently say, "Pray, people, pray!"
And that's what the USA is doing--or is SUPPOSED to be doing--today, the National Day of Prayer. Leaders and laymen gather around the nation to pray as urgent needs are presented locally, nationally and worldwide at prayer breakfasts and events planned for this day. Won't you take a minute to bow in prayer for the needs you represent?
Here's a unique way to do it with your family--and to remember important needs in prayer--prayer circles! On a piece of paper, draw a small circle, printing inside it the words, "The world within me." Draw a larger circle around it, with the words, "The world around me." Then draw an even larger circle around the two circles with the words, "The world beyond me." Fill in each circle with the names and needs you personally have--for your own self, for your friends and family, and for the world. Let's "PRAY, PEOPLE, PRAY"--many of us many never meet in person but we can all meet around HIS Throne of Grace today. God bless you--and give you a good day!
(NOTE: If your children or grandchildren enjoy craft activities, this is a great one. Let them use magic markers/photos/pictures/craft items, whatever they'd like, to decorate a posterboard prayer circle that you can display in your home. The kids will love it--and you'll be helping them learn to pray.)
Delight in a Word from the Well--a refreshing in the Water of His Word
Draw from the Well--a prayer for renewing strength for this day
"Lord, it's prayertime, and we come before You as a needy people. Within our own selves are sins, problems, burdens we bring to you; around us are family and friends with urgent needs; beyond us is a world in desperate need. Lord, hear us as we call upon Your Name around the world today. In Jesus Name, Amen."
