NATIONAL DAY OF PRAYER 2026

National Day of Prayer!

1 Chronicles 16 suggested by First Evangelical Church 
with my "snippets of praise and petition" for today, (emphasis mine) 

Oh give thanks to the Lord; call upon his name;
    make known his deeds among the peoples!
9 Sing to him, sing praises to him;
    tell of all his wondrous works!
10 Glory in his holy name;
    let the hearts of those who seek the Lord rejoice!
11 Seek the Lord and his strength;
    seek his presence continually!
12 Remember the wondrous works that he has done,
    his miracles and the judgments he uttered,



23 Sing to the Lord, all the earth!
    Tell of his salvation from day to day.
24 Declare his glory among the nations,
    his marvelous works among all the peoples!
25 For great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised,
    and he is to be feared above all gods.
26 For all the gods of the peoples are worthless idols,
    but the Lord made the heavens.
27 Splendor and majesty are before him;
    strength and joy are in his place.

28 Ascribe to the Lord, O families of the peoples,
    ascribe to the Lord glory and strength!
29 Ascribe to the Lord the glory due his name;
    bring an offering and come before him!
Worship the Lord in the splendor of holiness;
30     tremble before him, all the earth;
    yes, the world is established; it shall never be moved.
31 Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice,
    and let them say among the nations, “The Lord reigns!” 
34 Oh give thanks to the Lord, for he is good;
    for his steadfast love endures forever!

Intentional Worship teaches that God's Presence constantly calls for thanksgiving, and praise. Let's do it together today!

May we all be prompted to "Glorify God Among the Nations, Seeking Him in All generations."

A perfect "prayer theme" for 2026.

NATIONAL DAY OF PRAYER!

NATIONAL DAY OF PRAY............................
So grateful for this day designated by US Congress when our country observes  a time for our people to turn to God in prayer and meditation. Memorable times for me have been in the pews at FEC, around the flag pole with students at Houston High School and at a cathedral in Albuquerque, NM with Okie Dokie and CharChar.

"Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that you will abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit." (Romans 15:13 NASB)

Above fave verse for focus on this National Day of Prayer!

ROAD TO NOWHERE!

The road to nowhere is a road no one needs to be on in his/her spiritual life. How do i know!? The Bible tells me so! It is not just a physical journey but a spiritual one as well! A faith path.  
It's a journey with a heavenly destination yet often includes struggles, and hardships along the way which we must embrace with the joyous ones. God's word gives us the wisdom to navigate all of life.
His word gives the "light" needed.
It might be a bit rocky at times....but Christ is the solid rock on which stand.

There is a "road to nowhere" in Bryson City not far from our home.  Somehow I only looked in as I didn't like the darkness even though we had a flashlight. The floor was muddy thus too slippery for a gal with a cane!
One must be cautious to choose the right roads in life!

As Jesus Calling reminds us on this National Day of Prayer, we are on the path of God's choosing. Every moment walking with Him leaves no time for worry as His Spirit directs our steps to walk along the path of peace. (Luke 1:79)

TABLESCAPE OF PRAYER!

Some days can be harder than others and I have to go back to bed right after my morning cuppa! This morning was one of those days. I returned to bed for a 4 hour snooze. (...a bit longer than Gilligan's 3 hour tour)

I might still be a sleep if hubby had not awakened me at 11:15 am to check my pulse. When I went into the kitchen I saw a very welcoming sight......much like spiritual sky-writing.
I sat at the small table by our eastern window and was greeted by a large greeting straight from heaven.

I didn't even need to leave the table to go to my prayer chair. I sat right there with a glass of my iced tea, Bible and  my prayer journal......warmed by sunshine from heaven.....in His very Presence!

A great reminder of National Day of Prayer coming tomorrow, 5/1/2025.  
I can begin early!

A perfect  tablescape for National Day of Prayer prep!

A Reminder: National Day of Prayer

Where I am it is still Thursday---clock didn't change even when I tried to reset it.
JoLynn reminded us on Monday at prayer time to be sure and find a place to "pray" on National Prayer Day.
But...
But....I forgot.
I meant to put it in my computer note reminders.
But....I forgot.
God did not forget.
Walking through Albuquerque's, "old town" I heard music in the town square. I went closer and saw people moving to music with hands raised and colored scarves and banners waving---then I heard the word Jesus in the song.
I still did not catch on.
But God......had me go closer to the gazebo for a photo opp.
What a reminder---a BIG sign. 1 Voice. 1 Day. May 7. National Day of Prayer.
I caught on!!!!
I went across the street to San Felipe, the oldest church in Albuquerque and found a pew.
What a day. What a reminder to pray!
