National Day of Prayer

National Day of Prayer

The 57th Annual National Day of Prayer is today Thursday,-May 1, 2008. The theme for this year is "Prayer! America's Strength and Shield" and is based on the verse from Psalm 28:7 which states: "The Lord is my strength and shield; my heart trusts in Him and I am helped."

More than 35,000 prayer gatherings were conducted earlier today by approximately 40,000 volunteers across the country. Several million people participated in this call to prayer for our nation, its leaders and citizens.

The National Day of Prayer is a day designated by the United States Congress as a day when all Americans regardless of faith are asked to come together and pray in their own way.

Millions United - 1 Day - 1 Voice

Wouldn't it be nice if we were united like this more often than once a year!
