What/Who exactly is one supposed to be praying for during a day of prayer?
Or is it just a day to pray when one is too busy to pray otherwise?
It sounds to me to be something like a day for doing laundry.

Harold Hilton, by name. really? the older one or the younger one? i know there are 2 with that name one was the older one in (WA) the other younger in (BC?)...did he give you a reason why to not do that? The older one was Dan Hilton -- in WA, and Harold Hilton is his nephew -- in California. I've not heard of the name in BC, except that one of them may have been there pro tem. Yes, he told me why. I was disturbing the church. He had heard me being thankful for those I had to have fellowship with, and he presumed I was having meetings with people kicked out of meeting. I presume he thought I was lying when I said categorically that I wasn't. I told him I was referring to the other people in the meeting, and he looked at me like I was some kind of a con artist. Recall that he believed I was having a convention for people kicked out of meetings four years earlier -- which was actually a weekend visit from my e-mail friends from far flung places who had not been kicked out of meetings. He drove 110 miles in a snow storm in the mountains to chastise me on that occasion too.

I'm not sure that's what Wally was thinking about when he named Jerusalem. In any case, workers don't care to hear people praying for political situations, that I know of.

That's a convenient platitude -- when necessary that means praying for the workers. It you're thinking of the police, that's not supposed to be political in this country. It's not political either, unless you're asking for a change in government. Can you pray in meeting for your preferred candidate to win?

That's how it becomes political -- the President got elected on that. Who needs prayer when you have a Trump running for office.

For those of you who are advocating for a "International day of prayer," -are you able to give us an example of anything that was answered by that prayer?
