Millions of Americans will answer the call to prayer on May 3 in observance of the 56th annual National Day of Prayer. Will you be among them?
The National Day of Prayer was established as an annual event in 1952 by a joint resolution of Congress and signed into law by President Harry Truman.
Shirley Dobson, wife of Dr. James Dobson, is chairman for the National Day of Prayer Task Force.
“At this crucial time in history, with our armed forces engaged in a desperate struggle in Iraq, Afghanistan and elsewhere, we encourage all people of faith to set aside their differences and publicly seek God's wisdom and direction for those in harm's way and for our homes, communities and country,” she said in a statement. “Our Founding Fathers recognized the power of prayer and gathered regularly to ask for God's blessing. We can do no less."
