The theme for National Day of Prayer is “Lord pour out your love, life and liberty. It is based on 2 Corinthians 3:17 that reads “Now the Lord is Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty! Our nation, our leaders and our world, need so much prayer right now. We hope that all of you will join us on Thursday, May 6th, in person, online or both, said Dotti Zimmerman, co-leader of the fellowship with Jenn Robertson. It is vital that we observe this very important annual event the National Day of Prayer, she continued. We are blessed in these United States of America to be able to come together and pray openly, without fear, and in faith. May we never take that right and privilege for granted. May God continue to hear our prayers and continue to bless America.
