A Day of Prayer and Fasting – Fourth of July

By: Steve Huston

A Day of Prayer and Fasting – Fourth of July

A friend of this ministry expressed grave concern regarding the darkness that surrounds us. She urged this ministry to call for a day of prayer and fasting. It is time, dear friends. What better day to call out for a day of prayer and fasting then the Fourth of July.

Radical? Yes.
Fourth of July is a family day, but it is far more than that. You know it is. Draw your family into a discussion of the contents of this newsletter and then pray together with them around a picnic table, in the backyard. Call out to them in the name of the Lord to make sure they understand what’s at stake for America, our spiritual heritage, and urge them to live rightly and fulfill their civic duty by voting — in a way that will please and honor the Lord Jesus Christ.

[Proclamation for a National Day of Fasting, Humiliation and Prayer, Abraham Lincoln, April 30, 1863]
“We have been the recipients of the choicest bounties of Heaven. We have been preserved, these many years, in peace and prosperity. We have grown in numbers, wealth and power, as no other nation has ever grown. But we have forgotten God. We have forgotten the gracious hand which preserved us in peace and multiplied and enriched and strengthened us … and we have vainly imagined, in the deceitfulness of our hearts, that all these blessings were produced by some superior wisdom and virtue of our own. … Intoxicated with unbroken success, we have become too self-sufficient to feel the necessity of redeeming and preserving grace, too proud to pray to the God that made us! It behooves us, then to humble ourselves before the offended Power, to confess our national sins, and to pray for clemency and forgiveness.”
