Join us in prayer on National Day of Prayer, and unite with millions around the world to seek God's guidance for our lives!
National Day of Prayer is a special day for prayer and reflection that takes place on the First Thursday in May. This tradition dates back to 1775 when the Continental Congress appointed a time for prayer in forming a new nation. Since then, it has become an annual event with millions of Americans coming together to pray for their nation, its leaders, and its citizens. National Day of Prayer provides a unique opportunity to pause and reflect on our blessings as well as our struggles, and to give thanks for all that we have been given.
