Today is the National Day of Prayer. There are great events to bring prayer to the forefront of our lives. The Prayer Breakfast at Maranatha Conference Center was wonderful given the wide variety of pastors, representatives from non-profit organizations, and government officials. The biggest impact for me was the speaker said the National Day of Prayer needs to be every day! We cannot be an active Church without an active prayer life. Make time today to talk with Jesus as you continue throughout your day!
