National Day of Prayer

This first Thursday in May brings the National Day of Prayer in the United States. May we unite in prayer for the hearts and souls of our citizens.

From the American Bible Society's Circle of Prayer:

Heavenly Father, look down upon us on this National Day of prayer and hear our gratitude for all our blessings. Teach us to pray as You did Your Son, Jesus Christ, so that we might draw ever closer to Your glory. Purify our hearts, O Lord, and make them a clean dwelling for Your presence. May our prayers be acceptable to You and help us to do Your will more perfectly.

These things we ask in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.

Amen
