Joni Eareckson Tada is the Honorary Chairperson for today’s National Day of Prayer. Joni offered several specific things we can pray about today (and every other day, too!).
For the National Day of Prayer, remember to intercede for all members of society, including the elderly, children and adults with disabilities.
- Let’s make the Gospel accessible to all — pray for churches to not only welcome, but learn to embrace people with disabilities.
- Caregivers need a break — pray for parents and spouses needing respite as they give full-time care to their loved ones with special needs.
- A disability can be lonely — ask God to draw people who feel isolated into an abundant life with Him.
- Siblings have feelings, too! Pray for children who sometimes feel neglected because of the attention demanded by the medical needs of their sibling.
- Marriages with a disability are under stress – pray that marriages will be strengthened, not weakened, by a disability.
- Remember to pray for America’s brave warriors who have returned home from Iraq or Afghanistan bearing wounds of conflict.
- The abortion rate of unborn children with disabilities has escalated in the last 3 years – pray with a pro-life perspective.
- It’s time to make Luke 14 a reality – ask God to empower churches for active, effective outreach to people affected by disability.
