Ask

We're in the middle of a 40-day fast, initiated by Lou Engle. I've also been following the International House of Prayer and their participation in "The Call's" fast as well. We're praying for our nation.

How important is it for me to pray?

Matthew 7:7---
Ask and it will be given to you;
Seek and you shall find;
Knock and it will be opened to you.

There's a secret word created by the beginning of those phrases--ASK (take the first letter of each word: ask, seek, knock)

James 4:2 states (in part): you have not because you ask not.

Prayer is extremely important. And one voice in prayer can make a world of difference.

Ever read "Horton Hears a Who"? Well, you may not believe this, but today I read it for the first time. Amazing. Someone (Horton, an elephant) who is big and capable of helping the small ones, does. One person willing to help matters. Then, the smallest of the endangered community steps up and speaks up and makes the difference for their survival. One small voice matters!

Your voice matters in prayer. What would you like to see for our nation? for your family? for your health or the health of someone you know? The needs are endless. There is one solution--prayer.

Ask.
