Found this on the We Are Texas Baptists:
Danny Sinquefield, president of the Tennessee Baptist Convention, has challenged Baptist in the U.S. to pray for our country on April 15. I would like to extend the call to all Christians.
With the current econimic climate in our country Tax Day can prove to be more stressful for many.
Singuefield has encouraged us to use Jeremiah 33:3, “Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know. (NIV)” Singuefild suggests five items for our focus:
- Families facing financial struggles as a result of job loss and cut-backs
- Churches to respond with sensitivity and compassion to those in need
- Local, state and national elected officials to use wisdom in leadership
- Opportunities to share the good news of Jesus clearly and effectively; and
- Humility, repentance and true spiritual awakening in our nation
Please join other Christians across our nation in prayer this Wednesday, April 15. Leave a comment if you particpate or plan to participate.
Thanks for posting this call to prayer. Our church has committed to fill our prayer room for 24 hours today, and we just completed a noontime prayer meeting.
I pray God will forgive our sin and heal our land.

David,
Thank you. While we no longer live in Texas, we still have connections with Texas Baptists.
