of time it has never been heard

Today is the National Day of Prayer. You'd think I'd be completely behind it, as almost nothing is of greater importance to your walk than prayer. If it weren't for worship, I'd be more unequivocal. But prayer, yeah, it's up there.

Then why no love for it? Lots of reasons, brother.

First, you have the notion of scheduling a day for prayer. You might think it's sending the message that prayer is so important, you're carving out your schedule to honor the practice. Nope. More like this. Lord needs your all. Unceasing, remember? A day is simply an insult.

Secondly, these things always work the same way -- asking for stuff. Asking for blessings. Asking for protection. Asking for guidance and strength. And where's the praise? And where's the repentance? And where's the conversation with your Beloved One? This only serves to weaken common knowledge of true prayer.

Lastly, your theme this year is "America, Honor God"?! You have to have a slogan for that to happen? How insulting to Him that you schedule a day out of your busy, busy life to spend time with Him and you have to tie a string around your finger to remember to honor Him.

I'll tell you how best to honor Him. Cut out the nonsense activities like this entire day.
