Last Thursday was the National Day of Prayer. A few weeks ago I ran across a NDoP bookmark that listed seven things to pray for: Government, Military, Media, Business, Education, Church and Family.
What about the poor? What kind of nation doesn't pray for the poor?
So a few days ago I checked out the website and found that it was seven "centers of power" that they were praying for.
But that didn't make me feel better.
"Blessed are the poor in spirit ... those who mourn ... the meek ... those who hunger and thirst for righteousness ... the merciful ... the pure in heart ... the peacemakers ... those who are persecuted because of righteousness ..." (Matthew 5:3-10)
I mean, sure, we need to pray for those in power. I do. I will. But still - if there's a whole day to pray together as a nation -
what about the poor?
