2019 National Day of Prayer

Thursday, May 2, has been designated as this year’s National Day of Prayer. The theme for this year is Love One Another based on the Bible verse “Love one another, just as I have loved you.” John 13:34

St. John’s Lutheran Church in Kimball would like to invite members of the community to come to St. John’s at any time during the day May 2 to pray. The church will be open from
7 a.m.-7 p.m. for you to come in to pray. There will be an opportunity for prayers to be written down and shared with the prayer group, if anyone would care to do that.

The coordinators of the National Day of Prayer encourage prayers for the seven centers of influence in America:

GOVERNMENT – Pray for these leaders and civil servants to Love One Another by valuing one another, respecting one another, and working together for the greater good of our nation.

MILITARY – Pray for all military leaders and personnel to Love One Another because love is a powerful force when unity is critical to victory.

MEDIA ARTS – Pray for all persons who are working in media and arts to Love One Another by respecting all persons and sharing inspirational stories that illustrate the power of love.

BUSINESS – Pray for business leaders to comprehend their great opportunity to create powerful, effective, and productive teams and businesses that win when they Love One Another.

EDUCATION – Pray for administrators, teachers and faculty teams who will Love One Another so they can create a culture of love and respect for every student. Pray for students to rise up together, loving one another and making a difference in the future of America.

CHURCH – Pray for pastors and churches to model and exemplify Jesus’ words, Love One Another, to a world that needs the love of Christ desperately.

FAMILY – Pray for families to live Jesus’ teaching, Love One Another, to create families that follow the Bible and practice love and forgiveness.

And pray for those you hold close to your heart and those who need help. There is no prayer too large or too small for Jesus. He hears them all. He answers them all. We can all pray. We all need prayers.
