Like Thanksgiving, This Day Has Become a National Observance

The National Day of Prayer has great significance for us as a state and a nation.  It enables us to recall and teach the way in which our founding fathers sought the wisdom of God when faced with critical decisions. It stands as a call to us to humbly come before God, seeking His guidance for our leaders and His grace upon us as a people. This prayer movement is not seasonal. Rather it is a daily discipline – a blessing to God – and the National Day of Prayer Task Force in every state, is committed to this cause.

Like Thanksgiving or Christmas, this day has become a national observance. Last year, local, state and federal observances were held from sunrise in Maine to sunset in Hawaii, uniting Americans from all sectors of our communities, political and ethnic backgrounds in prayer for our nation. It is estimated that over two million people attended more than 30,000 observances organized by approximately 40,000 volunteers. At state capitols, county court houses, on the steps of city halls, in schools, parks, businesses, churches and homes, on university campuses, people stopped, young and old, gathered for prayer. It is a day that transcends differences, bringing together citizens from all backgrounds and age groups.

We are giving Glory to our Father, His Son Jesus and the Holy Spirit, for what He is doing across our State and nation.  Would you like to be a part of this growing prayer movement in Frederick County? If so, contact us and let’s get you connected!
