So today is the National Day of Prayer in the United States.

The 60th Annual National Day of Prayer will take place Thursday, May 5, 2011. Millions will unite in prayer at thousands of events from coast to coast. The theme, “A Mighty Fortress is Our God”, is based on the verse from Psalm 91:2 which states: “I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.”

Mrs. Joni Eareckson Tada will join Mrs. Shirley Dobson to lead the nation in prayer as the 2011 Honorary Chairman of the National Day of Prayer Task Force.

I’m going to try to post about prayer today, to encourage myself and you to spend time in prayer today, to start a prayer habit if you don’t already have one, and to use this day as an impetus to to a renewed relationship with God through Jesus Christ.

Stay tuned.
