I’ve had a day to take in the event.
There were 42 present. Eight different denominations represented. Prayers for our community leadership.
The comments were positive. Those who came believed that prayer can make a difference. And this was a prayer "meeting". Once a time of prayer began, there was little commentary outside of prayer. Each of us who prayed set aside political agendas and "fringe" opinions. We wanted God to be glorified and his work to be done.
One of the town councilors immediately called upon the ministerial to run this again next year. The mayor thanked us profusely for initiating this event.
This was not a money maker (in fact, we probably lost money!). This was not a partisan proselytism rally. This was prayer time!
My personal opinion? We are called in Scripture to pray for those in leadership. They don’t have to be Christians – we still pray for them. And when you can get together with other Christians and join in pray, all the better!
