Heavenly Father,\u00a0<\/span>We come to You in the Name that is above every name\u2014Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior. Our hearts cry out to You.\u00a0<\/span>Knowing that You are a prayer-answering, faithful God\u2014the One we trust in times like these\u2014we ask that You renew our spirits, revive our churches, and heal our land.\u00a0<\/span>We repent of our sins and ask for Your grace and power to save us. Hear our cry, oh God, and pour out Your Spirit upon us that we may walk in obedience to Your Word.\u00a0<\/span>We are desperate for Your tender mercies. We are broken and humbled before You.\u00a0<\/span>Forgive us, and in the power of Your great love, lift us up to live in Your righteousness.\u00a0<\/span>We pray for our beloved nation. May we repent and return to You and be a light to the nations. And we pray for our leaders and ask that You give them wisdom and faith to follow You.\u00a0<\/span>Preserve and protect us, for You are our refuge and only hope.\u00a0<\/span>Deliver us from all fears except to fear You, and may we courageously stand in the Truth that sets us free.\u00a0<\/span>We pray with expect<\/span>ant faith and grateful hearts.\u00a0<\/span>In Jesus\u2019 name, our Savior.\u00a0<\/span>Amen.\u00a0<\/span>– Dr. Jack Graham.\u00a0<\/span>2015 National Prayer.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Pray<\/div>\n
Sanctus Real<\/div>\n
Pray<\/a><\/div>\n
\n
I bow my head to pray, I don’t know what to say<\/span><\/div>\n

I’m not sure how to fix the things I’m dealing with<\/p>\n

I’m in a desperate place, I need to share the weight<\/p>\n

But I just don’t know how, to let it all pour out<\/p>\n

Though I’m silent, my heart is crying<\/p>\n

Cause I was made to come to You.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0National Day of Prayer<\/b>\u00a0(36 U.S.C. \u00a7 119)\u00a0is an annual day of observance held on the first Thursday of May, designated by the Congress of the United States,\u00a0when people are asked “to turn to God in prayer\u00a0and meditation”. Each year since its inception, the President\u00a0has signed a proclamation, encouraging all Americans to pray on this day. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
