If you're reading this on Thursday, May 5, 2016, you should know today is National Prayer Day. The annual event began in 1952 with a joint resolution of Congress, and was signed into law by President Harry S. Truman. It's a time for Americans to pause and pray that God will guide our national leaders.
This year's event chairman, Dr. Tony Evans, has written a prayer that will be read from coast to coast at noon, EDT. It says in part, "Dear heavenly Father, you continue to be marginalized and dismissed by both our people and our institutions. Enable us, by your Spirit, to no longer be secret agent Christians but rather to publicly declare and live out your truth in a spirit of love."
NOTE: New crumbs will be posted occasionally until May 14, when daily posting will resume.
