Our American national prayer day was established in 1952 and signed into law by President Harry Truman in his final year in office. In the Bible Jesus teaches us to pray, not just for our friends, but even our enemies.  When Paul wrote these words, the king he urged Christians to pray for was Nero, the same king who later executed him. Imagine what God might do if today we prayed for all kinds of people, and not just those we like. Imagine how God could move if we spent more time on our knees than at our television sets, laptops and phones. God changes neighborhoods and nations by transforming hearts and healing lives, one person at a time.
