National Days of Prayer have been a part of our history since the First Continental Congress called for a National Day of Prayer in 1775 as they sought divine guidance in the formation of our nation. Congress first mandated the Annual National Day of Prayer in 1952 under President Truman. In 1988, President Ronald Reagan signed the amended law to standardize the day on the first Thursday in May each year.
Governor Whitman of the State of New Jersey signed the NJ Day of Prayer Bill into law in 1994 "designating the first Thursday in May each year as "A Day of Prayer in New Jersey." The New Jersey State Coordinator is Mrs. Glenn Wenzel (Patricia). You may reach the NJ Day of Prayer by calling 1-888-NJ Prayer or through e-mail patricia@praynj.org.
Prayer for the Nation 2004
As a sign of unity, we are asking people to pray the Prayer for the Nation at noon on May 6, wherever they are. Some will be at a public prayer observance at that time, while others will be sitting in front of their desks at work. Regardless of his or her location, it is important that His people, who are called by His name, seek Him in unity. If people participate in this form of corporate prayer, it will be like a wave of prayer flowing across our country.
Gracious God,
You have been good to us beyond our deserving, making our Nation a land of liberty. Help us to protect our freedoms with diligence and integrity.Lord, bless our military as it advances freedom’s cause around the world. Bless also the institutions of power and influence in our society – the government, the churches, the media, the schools and the families. May each bring glory to Your name.
Forgive us when we stray from right paths. We place our trust in You, O Lord, believing that Your hand will sustain America. Let no shadows obscure the pathways which we should tread.
We pray in Your holy name. Amen.
