I saw it in fine print as I was looking ahead in my planner. Then I flipped some pages on the calendar hanging on my wall and saw it again, right under the picture of purple flowers with a mountain in the background. There it was in the square reserved for May 5, the designation “National Day of Prayer.”

Wow! A national day of prayer!

I rejoice that a day on the calendar encourages me to pause and pray. To remember that the almighty God invites us to call on him and promises to answer. To reflect on the truth of James 5:16, “The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective.” Covered with Christ’s righteousness, we pray with confidence because the One to whom we pray is all-powerful and will respond.

Prayer is a precious privilege. So why don’t we celebrate the National Day of Prayer more?
