Prayer?

Louisiana's state senate has declared June 20 a statewide day of prayer in response to the Gulf oil spill."Thus far efforts made by mortals to try to solve the crisis have been to no avail," state Sen. Robert Adley said in a statement: "It is clearly time for a miracle for us."

From the senate resolution – WHEREAS, a day of unified, intercessory prayer, by and for those people living throughout the regions around the Gulf of Mexico, to pray for an end to this environmental emergency, sparing us all from the destruction of both culture and livelihood.

It would be great if we would call a day of prayer for the moral disaster that we are experiencing in America, that would spare us from the destruction of both cultural and family livelihood. “Is anyone among you in trouble? Let them pray... The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective.” (James 5:13, 16)
