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.
