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 2007
Written by Dr. Charles Swindoll
Almighty God, we pause to reflect on Your character as we seek wisdom for such a time as this.. In these unsafe days,
You remain all-powerful and able to protect;
. In these uncertain times,
You remain all-knowing, leading us aright;
. In the unprecedented events we’re facing,
You remain absolutely sovereign.
Our times are in Your hands.
Therefore, our dependence on You, is total, not partial
. . . our need for Your forgiveness is constant
. . . our gratitude for Your grace is profound
. . . our love for You is deep.
We ask that You guard and guide our President
and all who serve the people of these United States.
May uncompromising integrity mark their lives.
We also ask that You unite us as truly “one nation,
under God.” May genuine humility return to our ranks.
And may that blend of integrity and humility
heal our land.
In our Lord’s name we pray,
Amen.
