National Day of Prayer

Reflection

“For you are my lamp, O Lord, and my God lightens my darkness. For by You I can run against a troop, and by my God I can leap over a wall. This God—his way is perfect; the word of the Lord proves true; He is a shield for all those who take refuge in Him.” –2 Samuel 22:29-31

Prayer

God,

On this National Day of Prayer, we pause to join with others around the nation and beyond, focusing our hearts and minds on this year’s theme: “Lift up the Word, Light up the World.” As those who believe in your Word and trust it to guide our lives, we ask for the courage and stamina to uphold it and embody it in our words and deeds. May we follow the example of your son, who perfectly embodied your Word and showed us the way to a life more abundant. With faith, hope, and love, we pray. Amen.

Call to Action

Recognize the National Day of Prayer by considering how my words and deeds can brighten the day for those I have the privilege of serving, as well as those I have the privilege of serving beside.
