Global Day of Prayer

Today May 31, is the Global Day of Prayer and this is the first year that every country in the world will have a group meeting to pray in some capacity. There is no denying that God is moving when you hear of 30,000 Indians being baptized on this day or God moving in the church in China or His miraculous provision to orphans in Kenya. Let's ask Him together to do more! God hears our prayers every day, but today is a time to be united and in agreement and beg before God for his Mercy and forgiveness and love to pour out on the world.

Then Jesus told his disciples a parable to show them that they should always pray and not give up. He said: "In a certain town there was a judge who neither feared God nor cared about men. And there was a widow in that town who kept coming to him with the plea, 'Grant me justice against my adversary.'

"For some time he refused. But finally he said to himself, 'Even though I don't fear God or care about men, yet because this widow keeps bothering me, I will see that she gets justice, so that she won't eventually wear me out with her coming!' "

And the Lord said, "Listen to what the unjust judge says. And will not God bring about justice for his chosen ones, who cry out to him day and night? Will he keep putting them off? I tell you, he will see that they get justice, and quickly. However, when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on the earth?" Luke 18

I ask today that you would join us in Thailand in praying for the nation of Burma and against the injustice and oppression that has reigned there for too many decades. For some more info on the situation please see http://www.freeburmarangers.org/Features/burma_overview.html
