Day of Prayer
Theme: “I love the LORD, because he hath heard my voice” (Ps. 116:1a).
Each semester faculty and students take a break from classes to spend a morning in prayer. The second semester’s Day of Prayer was Tuesday, February 9.
“The Day of Prayer is a springboard for students who need to recharge their batteries and spend time with the Lord,” said Provost Dr. David Fisher. “It’s a time of revival.”
Events
The day began with a morning chapel service followed by 2 breakout prayer sessions.
The morning wrapped up at 11 a.m. with a testimony and praise service in the Founder’s Memorial Amphitorium. Sophomore Nicholas Allen, faculty member Rob Loach and graduate Frank Garlock all gave testimony of God’s faithfulness and sovereign working in difficult life situations.
What is Day of Prayer?
For some students the Day of Prayer offers a good time of refocusing. “I was reminded of the needs of others and encouraged as I heard their testimonies of praise and trust in the Lord,” graduate assistant Rebecca Kohler said.
For others it is a time to re-energize and renew hope in God. “Today was such a blessing because of the testimonies shared,” said freshman Bible major James Tucker. “I left realizing that our hope really is in the Lord because of how faithful He is.”
“So many times I go before God with a list of things that I want to see Him do to prove His love for me,” junior Rebekah Walker said.
“Sadly, I forget that He has proven His love for me over and over again. This Day of Prayer was a wonderful reminder to praise the Lord for how He has heard my voice in the past and for how He will continue to hear my voice in the future.”
