Let this be a day of prayer. Let us realize that our highest ministry
and power is to deal with God for men. Let us be obedient to all the
Holy Spirit's voices of prayer in us. Let us consider every pressure a
call to prayer. Let us cultivate the spirit of unceasing prayer and
constant communion. Let us learn the meaning of the ministry of prayer.
Through prayer let us reach people this day whom we cannot reach in
person. Let us expect results that we have never dared to claim before.
Let us count every difficulty only a greater occasion for prayer. And
let us call on God, who will show us many great and mighty things which
we know not. And let this also be a day of joy and praise.

Let us live in the promises of God and the expectancy of His deliverance
and blessing.

Let us never dwell on the trial but always on the victory just ahead.
Let us not abide in the tomb, but in the garden of Joseph and the light
of the resurrection. Let us keep our faces toward the rising sun. Arise,
shine. Rejoice evermore. In everything give thanks. Praise ye the Lord.
Lord, give us Thy joy in our hearts which shall lift us to lift others,
and fill us so we may overflow to others.
