A Hunger for More: ‘Ask, and it will be given to you…’
Mollohan
We have just held the National Day of Prayer observance across the country including our own in Gallia County. While I was not able to physically participate this year, I am incredibly thankful that we, as a community, can come together and pray for our land. It is a profound blessing for us to be able to gather in this way and seek as one people God’s forgiveness, healing, and power for renewal.
Jesus’ work on the cross is what it took for our being able to come to God. It is Jesus’ atoning sacrifice on the cross that is the mechanism for God’s grace to cleanse us and make us presentable to come to Him. It does not matter what color skin we have, whether we are men or women, adults or children, young or old, or materially poor or affluent; as Christians, we are one in Christ and are both privileged and commissioned to pray. Prayer is the physical application of the spiritual activity of approaching God, worshiping Him, humbling ourselves before Him, confessing sin, thanking Him, depending on Him, and petitioning His help for ourselves and others.
