NATIONAL DAY OF PRAYER - MAY 3 - One Nation Under God
Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord. . . Psalm 33:12

My country, 'tis of thee, sweet land of liberty,
Of thee I sing;
Land where my fathers died, Land of the prilgrim's pride,From every mountain
side, let freedom ring! (Samel F. Smith)

Just how much do we take our freedom, our blessing of being in America for granted. I know I do - As I've traveled outside the bounds of the U.S. I know the comfort of returning home - to the land of the free. Last year at the National Day of Prayer I experienced a realistic reminder of the need for gratitude for freedoms we are granted in the United States of America. Our group was small, but that's not important in God's sight. We gathered to quietly pray at the flag pole of our city hall in observance of the National Day of Prayer. Before the twenty minutes were passed (12:20 to 12:40) we were challenged, and I was told I could not hand out the National Day of Prayer brochures that WCIF always makes available. I was stunned. After we prayed, as we spent a few minutes in conversation, we were told we needed to move along. I'm grateful it happened - my eyes were opened and I was reminded of the need to be aware of our freedoms and exercise our rights. I plan to return to my city hall for the National Day of Prayer and hopefully there will be others - not to be disturbing, but to pray in gentleness. In quietness and confidence will be my strength. (Is. 30:15)

Martha Root

You have also given me the shield of Your salvation, and Your right hand upholds me; and Your gentleness makes me great (Psalm 18:35)

National Day of Prayer brochures are available for anyone who desires to pray - where ever you may be - just call the station 725-9243 and we'll be glad to provide them to you.

Letters

PALM BAY - I greet you all in the precious name of Jesus Christ. I am happy to state that I received your tape and note to me. For this I am very grateful. As I already told you that your radio station is of much blessings to me and my husband. It's on almost 24 hrs. each day. For this I am more than happy to send you this gift. I hope it will help some to keep you on the air. God forbid if you should get off the station, it would be a great loss to me. I am asking God's blessings to be upon each one of you. Continue to do God's work. I love all of you.

COCOA - I've never stopped listening or praying for WCIF. Thank you. You are a constant blessing in my life.

ST. CLOUD - This is the gift I called in during the Sharathon. I enjoy your station. I'm somewhat of a shut-in 89 and my husband is 85. We thank you for Unshackled & the Moody Church Hour.

BAREFOOT BAY - My husband just passed away that is why I am sending this later than usual. I still listen to your radio station. Keep up the good work.

PALM BAY - I praise God for your musical selection - and all the Christian programs each day at home and in my car. God Bless each and every one always. Here is my one time pledge.

PATRICK AIR FORCE BASE - During your recent Pledge Drive, one of the segments revolved around filling the alphabet with God's Blessings. God has blessed me and my family so abundantly, I could not limit myself to just one letter. With divine guidance, I penned the following: (starting with the letter B) Brothers in Christ who Daily Exercise Faith, Grace, and Hope. My Iniquities are forgiven by Jesus, King of Kings, and Lord of Lords. His Mercy is Neverending. He Overcomes my Persecutors, His Quiet Rest offers Security during Trials. His Undeniable Victory Will eXist forever. You can have the Lord's Zeal too, Ask me how. Thank you all for the continued blessings WCIF pours out across the airwaves.

COCOA - Wish I could do more. I listen to WCIF all the time. I especially enjoy Chuck Swindoll and the beautiful music played throughout the day. May God bless you. Enlarge your territory. Keep His Hand on you and keep you from evil.

PALM BAY - I was off the continent during the share-a-thon, so I'm catching up on what I missed. Please find enclosed our gift for this year. Thank you for being a day-brightner as you lift up the name of the One who is the Light of the world. May the Lord's grace fill and guide you this year and always.

MELBOURNE - Wow! Thank you for the beautiful Bible I am using it now. God Bless you all. Also we just received the tape.

ROCKLEDGE - Thank you for being on the air and for wonderful programming. I especially enjoy Tony Evans, Chuck Swindoll, Larry Burkett, Charles Stanley, Focus on the Family and praise songs, and others. We are going through a difficult time in our family and WCIF ministers to my husband and me. Keep up the good work! I wish I could give more.

COCOA - We do praise God for your station. God is using it to minister to us. We listen constantly when we are in our car and home. Our radio station is fixed on your station and I want to thank you and may God richly bless you and all your staff.

MERRITT ISLAND - Enclosed is my pledge . . I enjoy listening to the programs on WCIF. Keep up the good work.
