I was blessed to attend the National Day of Prayer observance at the Morgan County Courthouse today. What a wonderful blessing it is that our county leaders organize such an event. You couldn't do this just anywhere. Nor would most leaders take such a prominate role. I think our county has some great leaders in office. Ones who seek God's will and still believe in the power of prayer. A young lady sang 'Sweet Hour of Prayer' and did a great job. That is another one of my favorite hymns.
Sweet hour of prayer! sweet hour of prayer!
That calls me from a world of care,
And bids me at my Father’s throne
Make all my wants and wishes known.
In seasons of distress and grief,
My soul has often found relief,
And oft escaped the tempter’s snare,
By thy return, sweet hour of prayer!
Several prayers were lifted for our leaders, our emergency personnel, our educators, our local churches, and our military. It was definitely worth standing in the sun and swatting bugs for the blessing it was to me.
When I got in the car to leave, this song was on the radio:
It Pays To Pray
It Pays to call upon His name
It Pays To Pray
To see a miracle displayed
You’ll forget the word, “impossible”
When you seek the Savior’s face
You’ll know He will make a way
It Pays To Pray
Isn't it funny how God works? :)
"The LORD is good, a refuge in times of trouble. He cares for those who trust in Him" Nahum 1:7
