This is the reminder notice that I just received about the National Day of
Reconciliation
Prayer service that will be held tonight. Things are tense everywhere, and
this is a great
time to remember and put into practice the amazing power of prayer.

I urge each of you to pray continually, but I particularly ask you to pray
for our
leaders today. The attached message provides some background and some
suggestions for focused prayer.
