The Rev. Jim Wilson of PrayNorthState offers some observations about the Day of Prayer on his Redding.com blog. Here is the upshot of what's going on:
This year National Day of Prayer will celebrate the privilege of repentance. In Redding we gather in the breezeway at City Hall to speak aloud the whole Word of God from April 30 through May 3 - around the clock - and enjoy the peace of God that always falls when we do this. We will gather in the City Hall Plaza at 7 PM on Wednesday, May 2, to praise our Lord, pray for people who come into the prayer tents dotting the plaza, and praise God for what He does as we hear people tell what He has done. We will gather again at Noon on Thursday, May 3, as leaders from many spheres of interest and influence ask God's blessings on our community, state and nation. The Day is not about protesting anything, or lobbying for anything. It is about blessing those for whom Christ died - that's everybody - and about repenting on behalf of the people who claim His Name. That's all she wrote.
