National Day of Prayer

Thursday, May 3rd, marked two years of monthly prayer on the first Thursday of each month. We have two locations: Carrollton and Dallas. It all started at the National Day of Prayer in 2010 when a group of us were in Carrollton. At the end of that prayer meeting we asked ourselves why we only do this once a year. And on the spot we agreed to come back each first Thursday of the month. We’ve been meeting there at the flag poles in front of City Hall in Carrollton and at HOBI International in Dallas for the last two years.

At HOBI International in Dallas, over 70 people gathered for prayer. This included reaching a couple of people from surrounding businesses that we hope will come back next month to pray again.

In Carrollton, we had over 70 people join us to pray. We had pastors from four churches  (Prince of Peace Lutheran, The Ridge, Victory Assembly and Christ Church Carrollton) in the area share passages from the Bible and lead us in prayer through the ACTS (Adoration, Confession, Thanksgiving and Supplication) model of prayer. Here are the verses we used.

Adoration: Psalm 33:12

Confession: 1 Kings 8:33-39

Thanksgiving: 1 Chronicles 29:10-13

Supplication: 2 Chronicles 7:14

We concluded by praying together the prayer written by Dr. David Jeremiah for the National Day of Prayer.

We pray that people will come back and join us again at our First Thursday prayer times. The dates are
