Today is the National Day of Prayer. I am believing for the heart of the people of this great nation to return to God. The first step to a nation returning to God is the people having a great heart renewal. 2 Chronicles 7:14 begins with "If My people...." He is looking for His people to lead the way and to be the catylst of prayer for this nation and the world. The scripture lists a few important steps. First, God calls us to humble ourselves. Before we look out we should look in and see if there is anything that needs to be brought into submission to the plan of God in our lives. In that humble place we can then boldly approach the throne of grace and seek the face of God. Before Him we will then be aware of the places that a turning and returning is in order. As we set those things in order He promises to hear, to forgive, and to heal. His eyes shall be open and His ears attentive to the prayers offered in that place of humility, submission, and repentence.

Take time today to find yourself in that place as we join with those around the nation. God Bless and enjoy the Presence!
