Today is the National Day of Prayer! I hope you will join me and others in this annual day of praying for our country. Let's also praise God for all of the blessings He has poured out on us this year. We now have a president who is keeping his promises: reducing illegal immigration, uncovering fraud, waste, and abuse in our government, working to make us energy independent again, and so much more. We have had so many prayers answered since January 20. You can watch his address here: https://www.rsbnetwork.com/video/live-president-trump-participates-in-national-day-of-prayer-event-5-1-25/
Here is information and a prayer for today:
2025 Verse: "May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope." Romans 15:13 ESV
2025 National Prayer:
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!
