Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.

Today is the National Day of Praying. I will be praying for our nation, all of our leaders, all of those who are serving our country and for each of its' citizens (that is many of you!)! Something I learned at Greystone why back when that I still use to this day when I pray is the term JOY. JOY stands for:Jesus first: give thanks for all Jesus has done for you!
Others second: pray for those around you!
Yourself third: Put yourself at the end of your prayer list!
No matter where you may be today remember there is no prayer too big or too small!!!

I completely forgot about The National Day of Prayer, with the flooding in Nashville and surrounding areas it completely slipped my mind.
Thank you for reminding us all how important each day is and today in particular, cheers!
Amen!
What a great reminder! Thanks!
What a great reminder! I just wrote a post about this very same thing - and quoted the same verse. It's so appropriate for our nation's Day of Prayer.
Beautiful post today. Thanks for sharing your thoughts and beliefs!

Thank you for the reminder. With all the small problems at work today - I totally forgot. I also love the JOY. I will remember that. Again, thank you.
I love this day and prayed this morning as well as I will be tonight!
Thanks so much for the reminder! Philipians 4:6 is one of my favorite verses :)
So true!
I wish I had known... not that I don't pray every single day - sometimes all day - but, I did not realize that it was a National Day of Prayer - would have loved to have posted. Your post was beautiful - thank you. Now I will just have an excuse for my own blog prayer day.
Best,
Colleen
Thanks for the reminder
I love that, pray in JOY! :) There is always something, someone, some nation to pray for...each and every day.
Amen!
Thank you, Hopsy! I hope you have a great weekend. You are a blessing to so many of us!
