Let prayer be our practice!
“Let us pray for our nation. Let us pray for those who have never known Jesus Christ and redeeming love, …[and] for our national leaders. Let prayer be our passion. Let prayer be our practice.”

Congratulations on the first post posted from an i-pod, David 🙂 I too was encouraged by that quote from James’ calendar for this important election year.
Amen.
Thank you for sharing.
Thanks David. May the Lord open my eyes to the importance of prayer and spending time with Him.
I like the quote, but I have looked everywhere for a valid source and it looks like it may be a fabrication. Do you know where it originally came from?
We have an reliable offline resource that I would actually recommend to everyone visiting this post: America’s God and Country Encyclopedia of Quotations by Bill Federer.
He has three references for the quote by Lee: The Rebirth of America (Robert Flood), The Glory of America (Peter Marshall and David manuel), and One Nation Under God–How Close a Separation? (Dr. D.P. Diffine).
One of those references should shed some light on the occasion of the quote.
