Lincoln’s Prayer, Your Prayer

Lincoln’s Quote

Have you been praying? I stated in past articles that this is your season of prayer. Without your prayers God will not act—He is waiting for you! He wants to see your passion, your brokenness, your determination, and your will to see God’s will to be done.

Did you know what President Lincoln proclaimed on April 30th at the height of the Civil War? This is just a portion of what he requested of all Americans to do.

“It behooves us, then, to humble ourselves before the offended Power, to confess our national sins, and to pray for clemency and forgiveness.

Now, therefore, in compliance with the request, and fully concurring in the views of the Senate, I do by this my proclamation designate and set apart Thursday, the 30th day of April 1863, as a day of national humiliation, fasting, and prayer. And I do hereby request all the people to abstain on that day from their ordinary secular pursuits and to unite at their several places of public worship and their respective homes in keeping the day holy to the Lord and devoted to the humble discharge of the religious duties proper to that solemn occasion.”

I hope you have been praying! You will need to pray like a watchman who stands on the wall and declares what he sees and warns all others of the coming battle. If you are not this type of warrior then you need to repent and begin to pray like you have never prayed before. This is what Jesus wants us to do—this is your season of prayer.

What would Jesus want me to do?
