Dear friends,

I just wanted to remind you that next Thursday, May 5, 2011, is the National Day of Prayer. This year's theme is "A Mighty Fortress is Our God."

From an e-mail that our friends George and Karen Pyros forwarded to us:

The Bible spends a great deal of time talking about how mighty and magnificent God is. On almost every page, the writers of the Bible extol God as high and lifted up, great and powerful. First Chronicles 29:11 is typical, "Yours, Lord, is the greatness and the power and the glory and the majesty and the splendor, for everything in heaven and earth is yours. Yours, Lord, is the kingdom; you are exalted as head over all." You can't miss it. God is in a class completely by Himself. Some read I Chronicles and assume that God is on some kind of divine ego trip - but far from it! Biblical descriptions of God's power and majesty are intended to underscore how weak we are and how much we need Him. He is great... we are not. He is utterly self-sufficient... we are far from it. All those biblical descriptions of the glories of God simply underscore how desperately we need Him.

And, oh, America needs Him as never before! The United States may be a superpower on the global stage, but its citizens are, for the most part, faltering in spirit and feeble in faith. Our country today is in urgent need of help from our mighty God -- it's one reason why "A Mighty Fortress Is Our God" was chosen as the theme for the 2011 National Day of Prayer.

You can read much more about this, as well as find local events, at http://nationaldayofprayer.org/

If you live in the vicinity of Lake Mary, Florida (north of Orlando), George Pyros is hosting a local event. You can contact him at gkpyros@embarqmail.com for more information.

Blessings,
