Today is the National Day of Prayer which originated first with Jesus, but in the United States by Abraham Lincoln in 1862. He believed we had become so self-sufficient for ourselves, that we had forgotten God, the higher power of wisdom. So he declared we needed a day of humility and prayer, thus the National Day of Prayer.
I spent most of the day, thanking Jesus for mercifully showing me all the recent mistakes I had made in the past week. Charlie had a plaque, that is now on the door of my office, engraved are the words: 'Prayer Changes things' . I am thankful to view this each day and especially today. A senate chaplain, Barry Black said Make prayer become like breathing which paraphrases the bible verse: "...pray without ceasing…". This is my goal. Here's hoping we can make ourselves better through prayer.
2Timothy 22 The Lord be with your spirit. Grace be with you.
