National Day of Prayer
“If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble
themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then
will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.”
2 Chronicles 7:14 (KJV)
“Prayer is simply a two way conversation between you and
God.”
-Billy Graham, April
28, 2013
Americans to Unite and Pray on Thursday
May 2, for the 62nd Annual Observance of the National Day of Prayer
Colorado Springs, Colorado (April 8, 2013)-As our
nation struggles with continued economic insecurity, vast healthcare reform,
and countless challenges to our constitutional rights, citizens of the United
States are preparing to exercise their freedom to gather, worship, and
pray. Millions will answer the call to
prayer on May 2nd in observance of the 62nd annual
National Day of Prayer. Organized events
will be held in thousands of public venues where intercession will be made for
America and its leadership.
This year’s theme, “Pray for America,” is based on
Matthew 12:21 which reminds us that “In His name the nations will put their
hope.” National Day of Prayer (NDP) Task
Force Chairman Shirley Dobson, wife of Family Talk founder Dr. James Dobson,
has said that, “The American people continue to be plagued with challenges that
defy simple answers, and our hope lies in humbly seeking the Almighty’s
guidance, protection, and blessing-not only on the National Day of Prayer, but
throughout the year.”
Senior Pastor of Harvest Fellowship and Founder of
Harvest Crusades-Greg Laurie-will serve as the 2013 Honorary Chairman of the
NDP Task Force and will give the keynote address at the National Observance in
Washington, D.C., to be held at the Cannon House Office Building.
