Even Pray for the Left

President Bush has declared today, May 5th, 2005, as National Day of Prayer.

Of course, you wouldn't know about that if you read only liberal sites: where they despise government leaders who express religious beliefs, despise the Pope for how he leads the Catholics, despise Christians claiming that they threaten Jews, despise the Jews and Israel for resisting Islamic terrorists--but, they don't despise the Islamic terrorists who hate everyone. Well, at least liberals don’t say so, because they're tolerant! But, don’t dwell on that because we’ll give you this information.

Instead, consider taking a moment now to take part in this National Day of Prayer to give thanks for the undeserved blessings that God grants to us and to our nation. Every day is a good day to do this, but today it is especially appropriate.

The NDP Chairman, Shirley Dobson, offered this guidance:

…the responsibility of prayer extends beyond our personal lives. The National Day of Prayer also affords us the privilege of interceding on behalf of our nation, asking God to forgive our collective rebellion against Him. We can also pray for our schools, the media, and especially our governmental leaders, asking the Lord to grant them wisdom and yes, grace, for the challenges they face on a daily basis. How encouraging to know that our loving Heavenly Father listens and responds to our personal and corporate petitions, enabling us to "receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need!"

Do it now--not later, because you might get busy. And...pass this along to your friends. It can be important for you and for your country.

And, I might add, even pray for the left. (God didn't say that everything would be easy.)

Have a good rest of the day!
