General Robert E. Lee wrote:
Knowing that intercessory prayer is our mightiest weapon and the supreme
call for all Christians today, I pleadingly urge our people everywhere to pray.
Believing that prayer is the greatest contribution that our people can make in this
critical hour, I humbly urge that we take time to pray - to really pray.
Let there be prayer at sunup, at noonday, at sundown, at midnight - all
through the day. Let us pray for our children, our youth, our aged, our pastors, our
homes. Let us pray for our churches.
Let us pray for ourselves, that we may not lose the word "concern" out of
our Christian vocabulary. Let us pray for our nation. Let us pray for those who
have never known Jesus Christ and redeeming love, for moral forces everywhere,
for our national leaders. Let prayer be our passion. Let prayer be our
practice.
