Today is Thursday, May 6th, 2010; Karen's Korner #1814

Today is this year's celebrated National Day of Prayer: May 6. It is the 59th such observance on the first part of May. The theme title is "Prayer for Such a Time as This!" And the chosen Bible verse is:
 
“The Lord is good; a refuge in times of trouble.

He cares for those who trust Him.”

~ Nahum 1:7

 

For our local prayer breakfast, we have researched who leaders are for our nation, our state of Iowa, for Wright County, for Clarion, for the Clarion-Goldfield School district, and for our local spiritual leadership. If you would like any or all of this list, I would be happy to 'cut and paste' it for you to have.

Dear Lord, we thank You for today and for the opportunity to stop as a nation to acknowledge You and Your faithfulness to our country. We confess that as a nation, we have not always been faithful to You, forgive us. We need Your love, Your care, Your mercy, Your direction. Thank You for making all things new. Lead us, guide us, protect us. We acknowledge that Your ways are higher than ours. Thank You that through You and Your Holy Word, we have a future and a hope. In Jesus' Name. Amen.
