Prayer
June 29, 2021
Frank Wright, CEO at D. James Kennedy Ministries wrote these words.
“Our nation was birthed in prayer. Think back to the winter of 1778 when Isaac Potts, owner of the home General George Washington was using as his Valley Forge headquarters, came upon the General’s horse tethered in the woods. Curious, Potts followed the sound of a voice and, to his surprise, came upon General Washington alone and praying fervently in a secluded stand of trees.
Or the account of crusty, 81-year-old Benjamin Franklin who acknowledged – during difficult proceedings that had almost derailed the 1787 Constitutional Convention – “that ‘God governs the affairs of man’…and if a sparrow cannot fall to the ground without His notice, is it probable that an empire can rise without His aid?” Even Franklin, not a pious man, valued prayer.”
