National Day of Prayer for Mental Illness Recovery and Understanding

This will be held on Oct. 6th, the Tuesday of Mental Illness Awareness Week-MIAW-Oct. 4-10

I would like to suggest rather than a global "God bless all the crazy people;" that each of us choose one or two people we know personally who has struggles with mental illness (could be depression, bipolar, anxiety disorder...etc ) and bring them to the Father's throne; edging our way through the crowds of angels there --flashing our "sons and daughters of God" ID cards-- and place these suffering ones on His lap there so that they can receive the benefit of His love, healing and attention. And pray also for those who love these broken people and who must daily live with and care for them.

You might have noticed that I brought this up a month early...why not make it an area of prayer concern for the entire month between now and then?? Would it not be awesome to see how God will respond in the lives of individuals?
