NDOP

I resist "forced" events, feeling that many of them are artificial. Special days on the calendar when you are supposed to "do" something. However, I think the National Day of Prayer is a worthy date on the calendar. Prayer really is the strength of the body, and probably why we have such weakness in our churches and in ourselves.

Here are a few quotes to spur you to prayer today:

"Prayer does not fit us for the greater work; prayer is the greater work."
Oswald Chambers.

"...True prayer is measured by weight, not by length. A single groan before God may have more fullness of prayer in it than a fine oration of great length."
C. H. Spurgeon

"Satan trembles when he sees the weakest Christian on his knees."
William Cowper

Hi Chris,
Will you post the poem on Motherhood being hard that you read at the start of the May 8 program?
Thank you!

Loved the Oswald Chambers reference. I am going out to get the book. Thanks again for all you continue to do. I find a way to be in my car at work every day to catch your program.
God Bless

I feel the way you do, Chris, about 'forced' events except for NDOP.
Thanks for an excellent show that day.
