May 3, 2012 is the National Day of Prayer. Events will be held across the county where people are encouraged to pray for our nation, our elected leaders, the military, and each other. The National Day of Prayer is an annual observance held on the first Thursday of May, inviting people of all faiths to pray. It was created in 1952 by a joint resolution of the United States Congress, and signed into law by President Harry S. Truman.
While the day may be used to focus on government functions and civic purposes, feel free to make space for personal issues. Allow a time for repentance. Make time to renew your relationship with the Lord. Share the inner concerns of your heart and take them to the Throne of our Creator.
It is easy to get wrapped up in the events of work, school, and family, but share some of tomorrow’s valuable time with our Heavenly Father.
