The National Day of Prayer is an annual observance held on the first Thursday of May, inviting people of all faiths to pray for the nation. It was created in 1952 by a joint resolution of the United States Congress, and signed into law by President Harry S. Truman. Our Task Force is a privately funded organization whose purpose is to encourage participation on the National Day of Prayer. It exists to communicate with every individual the need for personal repentance and prayer, to create appropriate materials, and to mobilize the Christian community to intercede for America’s leaders and its families. The Task Force represents a Judeo-Christian expression of the national observance, based on our understanding that this country was birthed in prayer and in reverence for the God of the Bible.

2025 NATIONAL PRAYER FOR AMERICA
God of hope, fill us with all joy and peace in believing, so that we will abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.
You have caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead; therefore, we hope in what we do not see. This world is not our home or reality, but the Lord is our Rock, our Truth, our certainty.
God of hope, we pour out our praise and are filled with Your powerful presence.
We pour out repentance of sin and are filled with forgiveness and righteousness.
We pour out pain from the attacks of the enemy—anxiousness, fear, anger—and You fill us with courage, assurance, and love.
We pour out our needs, the desires of our hearts, and are filled with Your Kingdom provision and purpose.
We pour out our hearts for our nation, for the people and places, relationships and responsibilities the Lord has established: the Church, Family, Education, Business, Military, Arts, Entertainment, Media, and Government. May all who live, serve, and steward in these be filled with Your purpose, wisdom, strength, and truth.
Let Your lovingkindness, O LORD, be upon us, as we have hoped in You.
In abounding hope, anchored by our hope in the name of Jesus, we pray. Amen!
