Theme: Exalt the Lord who has established us. Colossians 2:6-7

The National Day of Prayer is an annual observance held on the first Thursday of May, inviting people of all faiths to pray for the nation. It was created in 1952 by a joint resolution of the United States Congress and signed into law by President Harry S. Truman. The day exists to communicate with every individual the need for personal repentance and prayer and to mobilize the Christian community to intercede for America’s leaders and its families. It is based on the understanding that this country was birthed in prayer and in reverence for the God of the Bible. For more information and to find local events, www.nationaldayofprayer.org.
