Peter marshall prayer
 
This is prayer.
 
We move in the direction of God.
 
The movement itself is far more important that the words we use or the sentiments we experience. It is the movement that expresses the true intentions of our hearts.
 
The movement is the most honest and reliable indicator of our spiritual progress … whether we know it or feel it or not.
 
Let us move toward God today.
 
"Let us then approach the throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need." – Hebrews 4:16,  New International Version (©1984)
 
When I say I pray for you, I do. I come beside you, stand with you, and bring you before the God I serve. It is my way of loving you.
A three letter word for prayer: AWE!
 
"I stand amazed in the presence …"
 
Another word for prayer: WONDER!
 
"Pray without ceasing" (1 Thessalonians 5:17) – not quitting and maintaining the attitude and constant awareness of One who is Other.
 
I do pray for America today and invite others to pray in whatever way they pray. For those who don't, do what you and wish America well.
 
I am not just praying for our nation today. I am praying for our larger community on the planet – No permission or sanction needed – but encouragement welcome and concerted effort celebrated.
 
Do we NEED a national day of prayer? I think so – DAILY!
 
I am amused by the fuss we make over symbols and language when prayer and gathering to pray is always legal. If it is ever not, we still will.
 
This is a day of prayer. It matters little whether it is declared or not (It has been). It is always legal in any jurisdiction, to pray.
