COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. — Millions of Americans will join in observance of the 61st annual National Day of Prayer on Thursday, May 3, organizers said. Events will be held in thousands of public venues where intercession will be made for America and its leadership.
This year’s theme, “One Nation Under God,” is based on Psalm 33:12 which reminds us that “blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord.”  National Day of Prayer Task Force Chairman Shirley Dobson, wife of Focus on the Family founder Dr. James Dobson, said, “At this perilous and uncertain juncture in our country’s history, it is critical that we remain in prayer. The American people continue to be plagued with challenges that defy simple answers, and our hope lies in humbly seeking the Almighty’s guidance, protection, and blessing – not only on the National Day of Prayer, but throughout the year.”
