National Day of Prayer

Today we celebrate The National Day of Prayer.  This 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.


2021 NATIONAL PRAYER FOR AMERICA


Lord, we look up and see the billions of stars

You created, and we praise You. We look

around and see the billions of people You

created in Your image; uniquely, fearfully,

wonderfully, and we thank You. Wrap us in Your

Spirit and unite us in Your family, Lord.


Thank You for loving us first. In Your love for

the whole world, You sent Your Son to save us.


Jesus, in You alone we have abundant and

everlasting life. Thank you for teaching and

leading us to love and live, fruitful, and faithful.

In Your life, death, resurrection, and ascension

You are our Lord, our love, our life, and our

liberty. You came to “bind up the brokenhearted,

To proclaim liberty to captives and freedom to prisoners.”

You have freed us from the penalty and shame of our sin;

free to live life as You designed and Your destiny for our Nation.


Spirit search us, convict us, as we repent for

our sin and the sins of America. Please cleanse,

fill, and send us. We rejoice, knowing that Your

forgiveness makes us acceptable and effective

vessels for Your love, life, and liberty in our

family, church, education, workplace, military,

government, art, entertainment, and media.


We pray that America will be united in love to

serve You with all our hearts, all our ways, and

all of our days. Unite us to pray, love; to live and

walk by the Spirit. Conform and transform us

as we pray and proclaim,

“Now the Lord is the Spirit,

and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.”


We pray this is the name of Jesus, Amen.

As we pray for others in our nation on this National Day of Prayer, let us first thank God for what he has done for us.
