One Minute of Prayer Every Night!

July 12, 2016 by Holy Name Monastery 2 Comments

This sounds like a worthy idea … we can’t imagine the power of prayer:

hands clasped in prayer over a Bible

During WWII, there was an advisor to Churchill, who organized a group of people who dropped what they were doing every night at a prescribed hour for one minute, to collectively pray for the safety of England, its people and peace. This had an amazing effect, as bombing stopped.

There is now a group of people organizing the same thing here in America. The United States of America, and our citizens, need prayer more than ever!!! If you would like to participate, each evening at 9:00 P.M. Eastern Time (8 PM Central, 7 PM  Mountain, 6 PM Pacific), stop whatever you’re doing, and spend one minute praying for the safety of the United States, our troops, our citizens, for peace in the world, the upcoming election, that the Bible will remain the basis for the laws governing our land, and that Christianity will grow in the U.S.

If you know anyone who would like to participate, please pass this along. Someone said if people really understood the full extent of the power we have available through prayer, we might be speechless. Our prayers are the most powerful asset we have. Thank you.

Please pass this on to anyone who you think will want to join us.

God Bless You!!!

    I love this and I will pray!..What about a day of fasting as well? Like Esther did…this time is universally a time of fasting for so many Christians. Easter is coming up and so many of the Christian faith are fasting in some way…with Passover coming up as well…I don’t know… just a thought. I think it could be a way Jesus could really be on display in a positive way and may bring others to really see Him.
