I received a precious email the other day from a bloggy friend.
She had been praying that we would have another
day of prayer {and fasting} soon.
She and her family were in the midst of one of the most
difficult times that anyone could ever imagine and she knew
that prayer and God’s grace would be the only thing that would help.
I read her email aloud to Emma {the only big person home at the time}
and I couldn’t even finish it as my tears were streaming.
Yes, my sweet friend A, it’s time for a day of prayer
{and fasting}.
Many of you have also written with painful situations.
Many of you are in the midst of difficult times.
And I know that many are secretly struggling with life.
So this coming Tuesday
September 18th
we at our Place Called Simplicity invite you to participate in a day of
Prayer {and Fasting for those who are able}.
On Tuesday, just after midnight, I will do a post that those
who wish to leave prayer requests on can do so.
Then thousands around the world will read your request and pray.
It has been a powerful time in the past.
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE
DO NOT POST YOUR PRAYER REQUESTS ON THIS POST.
I am praying that many of you will join with me
before the throne of grace on behalf of
our sisters and brothers around the world
this coming Tuesday,
September 18th.
{I will be talking about Fasting over the week-end, for those who are new to it.}
Thank you so much.

Linny,
This comes at the perfect time. I'm in need of prayer and fasting myself. Thank you so much.
Blessings,
Rebecca
I was sharing with my mother the other day that I missed the prayer and fasting days on your blog! 🙂 so glad that we will be having one! 😀
Oh Linny thank you! I have been fasting from 4 a.m. when I get up till 10 a.m. when I take my lunch break all week and plan to continue. this may not sound like a big deal, but I work in a high school cafeteria where we prepare breakfast, food for break, and the food for lunch all before 10 a.m. Talk about tough, all those great smells, all those yummy foods being made. But I am doing it! We just finished a bible study on The Circle Maker, circling your prayers and praying thru until God sends His answer.
I have circled my son Brock, it has now been 3 years since I have heard his voice. God is faithful, I will continue to fast and pray thru until the day comes when I am reunited with my son!
I will be joining y'all on September 18.
Blessings,
Suzanne
Just yesterday the Father impressed on my heart that there was a time of fasting coming up. I shared with my DH and he admitted that he had felt the same, but didn't know what the focus was to be so he hadn't shared yet. I am so thrilled that He confirmed what we have been feeling… we will time our fast with those here who are drawn as well… I so long to hear more and more of His words whispered in my ear! Excited for Tuesday now!
I will be joining!!! So glad for the opportunity
I can't say thank you enough, Linny. This post is definitely an answer to one of my desperate prayers. Thank you for using your blog to minister this way. I am waiting with hopeful expectation for the mighty things that I know God will do as His people pray. I am in, and plan to fast this time as I pray. Blessings to you.
Thank You! Comes just at a time I really need It! Janet
Linny, this has been on my heart and mind for the past several days. I need to do a day of prayer and fasting for a few different things going on in our lives. It would be an honor for me to pray and fast along with you.
I look forward to it!

I will definitely be joining you in prayer. After a year of searching and praying, God provided me with a graduate job that I could have only ever dreamed of getting.
From a pool of 2,000 candidates, I watched in wonder over the past few months as God carried me over from one stage to the next. The shortlisted candidates got fewer and more qualified- I was shocked to still be among them. I went for so many interviews and I know that, sometimes, I didn't even give the right answers. But our God is greater than the mistakes that we make. Last month, I received a call from the managing partner of the firm to say I had got the job. I was one of 13 chosen from a pool of 2,000 highly qualified graduates. I know that I could not have done it without God and I just hope that others can receive some encouragement from this. It may take days, months or even years but God answers prayers.
