Our nation was built on the belief 

that we needed a God in whom we could freely worship.

A God in whom we can put our trust in and give us new life.

The founders of our great nation strongly believed in prayer.

Prayer is communicating with God.

It is giving God time to discuss what's going on in life,

whether it be praises or problems.

Prayer connects people.

It brings about change and miracles.

When 9/11 struck, people automatically begun to pray.

Even those who didn't know God, begun to pray in desperation.

Many times, prayer is what we do when we can do nothing else.

Often, it's too easy to think we have everything under control

until something bad happens in which we can do nothing about.

When hurricane Katrina stuck, people were stunned.

They knew they could do nothing else but to pray.

Sadly, we tend to pray mainly when things are going bad.

It's difficult to humble ourselves and pray in times of prosperity.

During these times we tend to boast about ourselves

claiming that everything is great because of what we did.

We don't tend to give God the credit he deserves.

The world is always going to have problems.

Natural disasters will always strike,

there will always be wars,

and people are going to die.

What we need to to is to rise together in prayer,

and ask for God's mercy and care.

Miracles do happen.

I have seen God perform countless miracles

in my lifetime and I'm only 17!

God is waiting and wanting to mend our wounds.

To heal His people and their land.

However, He wants us to come to Him,

to humble ourselves and pray.

"Life is fragile, handle with prayer."

My challenge to you is to pray

and see what God can really do.

With prayers comes peace, strength, love

and a sense of purpose.

Just Pray.

                         -Tim

"If My people, which are called by my name,

shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face,

and turn from their wicked ways;

then I will hear from heaven,

and will forgive their sin, and heal their land.

                       ~ 2 Chronicles 7:14

In Jesus' name, Amen.
