Rise, Shine and Give God the Glory because all the Glory belongs to Him, so let us Praise His Name! On Thursday, May 7<sup>th</sup> it is national Prayer Day in the U.S. and the theme is “Godd’s Glory ”. The Website is: nationaldayofprayer.org<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Theme: God's Glory<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Theme Scripture: Habakkuk 2:14 “For the earth shall be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the LORD, As the waters cover the sea”.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Let us come together and pray in unity, for where there is unity, there is strength. The Bible says in 2 Chronicles 7:14 that “If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.” That scripture is conditional – If we humble, pray, seek and turn, then God will hear, forgive and heal our land. So let us do our part so that God will do His. He is waiting on us; there is never any slackness in God. Let’s get busy and be about our Father’s business!<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Even though most of us pray every day, this special day has been set aside for us to come together and unite in Prayer and be on one accord. Let the Glory of the Lord arise upon us! In the book of Isaiah 60:1 it states “Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the LORD is risen upon thee”.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>2 “For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people: but the LORD shall arise upon thee, and his glory shall be seen upon thee”.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>So let us truly believe that prayer changes things and if we pray without ceasing, i.e., “”PUSH” …Pray Until Something Happens”, then we will all be able to witness GOD’S GLORY and declare “To God be the Glory for the things that He has done”<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>In Jesus Name!<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>God bless,<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Dr. Joyce Taylor, VP, MSCC<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Communities of Faith Committee Member<o:p></o:p></p></div></body></html>
