What are you planning to do for the National Day of Prayer?
This yearly event, which has roots as far back as the Continental Congress and its call to prayer in 1775, marshals all prayer warriors to intercede for our nation.
In 1863, President Lincoln called for a national day of "humiliation, prayer and fasting" and in 1952 a joint resolution by congress, signed by President Truman, made it an annual event. In 1988 President Reagan set the day at the first Thursday of each May, which is the day we will gather this week - on May 1st.
To see the events planned nationwide, and get info on the NDP, go to the National Prayer Committee's website at http://www.ndptf.org/.
