Did you know this?

Last year the Hemet City Council established the month of June as a month of prayer. Here is part of the declaration:

“WHEREAS we will never fully understand how prayer has quietly influenced every aspect of individual’s lives—bringing comfort to service members on the battlefield, grounding the spirits of astronauts in space, guiding the healing hands of medical professionals tending to our loves ones, and fortifying the faiths of millions of worshippers in every corner of our Nation. There is hardly an aspect of American life that is not touched by the silent prayer supplications to fulfill our hopes and aspirations.”

So I encourage and challenge you to make this month a special month of intentional prayer for our City, our Valley and the impact Christ-followers can have in our area.

“I urge, then, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for all people— for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness. This is good, and pleases God our Savior, who wants all people to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth.” (1 Timothy 2:1-4 NIV)
