Late pictures from 59th Annual National Day of Prayer

Okay, I realize that National Day of Prayer was last week, but I finally got the pictures downloaded to my computer. Just been that busy!!
Any way, out this way in the city of Chino, they asked the churches to send members to city hall to all come together and pray for our country.( Wow does our country need it!!) So I gathered up the munchkins and drove down to show our support.
Prayer is important.
It should still be part of public school days, no matter what your religion.
Our country used to start everything with prayer or quiet reflection.
I believe that this country is really taking God out of everything.
That is supposed to be what America is based on, but slowly the minority that does not believe has been pushing the majority who do, to do things there way.
This is my response:
:(

Apparently all these people believe as well.
It was so beautiful.
All of these people(and more, we were early) showed up, most of them on their lunch hours, from many different churches and just prayed for everyone on the planet.
We prayed as a big group first. Then we broke down into smaller groups and made more personal prayers for our country and others, our military, our school system, our families, our churches, pretty much everyone and everything.
It felt so special to be there.
We were not just praying there in Chino.
People all over the country were praying at the same time for our world.
All those hearts, sending praises up to the most wonderful Lord, all at the same time.
All of us praying for good things to happen.
I hope it made God's heart sing.
I know I swelled up with tears during a few prayers.
We had the most wonderful prayer warrior in our group.
She just was so in tune with God. My munchkins were even impressed enough to comment to her that she should become a pastor!! I think as much as I loved her prayers (and they were awesome!!) I loved hearing my son say "I'll pray next" and he did...twice. Michael and Aimee both prayed out loud with our group. That was so special to my heart. Aimee did a lovely job of coarse. Yet to know that my son who has been challenging his faith for the last year felt compelled to pray with strangers, for strangers really beyond words for me.
But I think that is what the whole day was about, feeling in your heart and sharing with the Lord. He truly heard my prayers and gifted me on that day.

It was such a lovely day.
We saw a few old friends.
We made a few new friends.
We did something good.
