National Day of Prayer 2020

HOOK

About 600 years before Christ there was a prophet named Habakkuk

He complained to God about destruction, about violence about strife, about conflict and injustice

God responded to him saying…

BOOK

Glory of the Lord is the manifest presence of God

LOOK

Today, is one of those days when the earth is filled with awareness of the glory of God

It has been God’s intention for the whole world to know Him

God works in the world to accomplish His purpose

God’s purpose goes beyond simply punishing the wicked

I’d like for us to pray for those who are affected by this Covid-19

Let’s pray for the Front Liners

Let’s pray that people will see God’s purpose behind this pandemic

And that this crisis will not linger over our heads, instead it will come to pass
