Prayer Champions welcome to the first Wednesday of May 2023! When you hear someone say mayday, mayday do you recognize it as an urgent call for help? Today and the rest of the month, I am putting out the mayday distress call, but I do not want you to panic. I want you to pray fervently. Acoording to James 5:16b, The effective, fervent prayer of the righteous main avails much, NKJV.
