Will YOU pray for America? part 2

Week 19, year 2! (Sunday-Shabbat)

Studies show that the average person wastes what amounts to two hours a day sitting at a traffic light, surfing the internet, checking email or facebook, or daydreaming. What if we put just 15 of those minutes every day to praying for America?

Think about it. That's less than the amount of time it takes you to brush your teeth & get dressed, or to check your email. Will you spend 15 minutes a day praying for our country?

Although the National Day of Prayer, whose historic origins date to a mandate by the President George Washington, is in May, believers all over the globe are praying and fasting for our nation at this time.
