Prayer: an act of humility

There's something we need to be able to pray effectively: humility.

Think about it. When we are praying, we have to admit that Someone is greater than we are. We have to admit that we can not control everything, and we have to go to Someone for help.

This is one reason why praying on a daily biases is so important; to helps us remain humble.

National Day of Prayer

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

My people. The children of God. That means us. The Church. Not the "Sinners". Not those other people. Us. You. If we, the Church, humble ourselves, if we pray, if we seek his face and turn from our wicked ways, God will forgive us and will our land.

Today, on National Day of Prayer, humble yourself, pray, seek His face, and repent. May God heal our broken land.
