A day of prayer week day 7, month 7, day 7, 2007

Sorry Bob, I am not sure what you mean. If as you say (and I agree), all days are good days for prayer, why should 7th July 2007 be any different from any other day? Are you saying that, because in our system of reckoning dates, that day is a date of "all the sevens," it is a good day to choose for a special time of prayer? If so, I am afraid I don't agree with you. But possibly I have misunderstood what you are saying here.

 

I assure you that I was not arguing against having special days or times of prayer. Indeed, I would expect that there will be some Christians, particularly here in the UK, who hold a special day of prayer today (7th July) as it is the second anniversary of the London terrorist attacks. Was that perhaps a reason why you felt 07.07.07 to be a good day for prayer, rather than merely the fact that the numbers of the day, month and year coincide?

 

I'm afraid you are still misunderstanding me - I am not saying that we should pray less, but more. There is just as much reason for us to pray on 8th July 2007 or 16th December 2008, (or whatever date you care to mention) as there was on 7th July 2007.

Pray without ceasing​

Bob,

I thought it especially significant that 7-7-7 happened on the 7th day of the week. It could just as easily have been tues or thurs. But it was on the Sabbath (Sat).

Selah,
