40 Days of Prayer for Congress

Lots of us com­plain about the cur­rent polit­i­cal and moral mess in Wash­ing­ton.  But how many of us are actu­ally try­ing to do some­thing about it?


Accord­ing to the Apos­tle Paul, there is some­thing we can all do–something that is more effec­tual than all our com­plain­ing, all our lob­by­ing, or even all our politicking:


“I urge, then, first of all, that requests, prayers, inter­ces­sion and thanks­giv­ing be made for everyone–for kings and those in author­ity, that we may live peace­ful and quiet lives in all god­li­ness and holi­ness.” (1 Tim­o­thy 2:1)

Paul says first and fore­most, we should be pray­ing.  So, why don’t we?  

For forty days begin­ning on Jan­u­ary 30 we have the oppor­tu­nity to do just that–in a coor­di­nated fash­ion thanks to a daily plan put together by the good folks at the Amer­i­can Pol­icy Round­table (APRoundtable.org). We will sim­ply pray through the list of names each day.  And at the end of 40 days we will have lifted every seat, every Rep­re­sen­ta­tive, every Sen­a­tor before the throne in prayer.  

What a plan!  So much bet­ter than just complaining!
