I'm not surprised, but am disappointed.  The President of our nation has just canceled the National Day of Prayer's observance in the White House. 

This National Day of Prayer has been observed every single year since 1952, when Harry Truman first introduced it. It has been commemorated by every single President until now.  Why now?  Is this part of the big change? 

Is this a good thing? 

I believe more than ever that we need to come before God as a nation in corporate prayer.  As a nation we have much to pray about.   

This is a good thing. 

A big part of this day is to pray corporately for our leaders, our military, our families, our neighbors and co-workers. 

 This is a good thing. 

In the meantime while the White House chooses not to recognize this day tomorrow,  millions of people from all religious backgrounds will go to God in prayer seeking his wisdom and direction instead of their own. 

Yes, this is a good thing regardless of religious affiliation. 

I guess the President has it all under control. 

We need to pray for our leaders more than ever before. 

And that is a good thing.......

"If my people who are caled by my name will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land."   2 Chron 7:14
