Today is Thursday, May 5th, 2022; Karen's Korner #4654

Today is our country's National Day of Prayer. President Truman signed legislation in 1952 authorizing the annual event which has been held every year since.

It is held annually the first Thursday of May.

Taken from the National Day of Prayer web site:

"Through the efforts of the National Day of Prayer Task Force, more than 35,000 prayer gatherings will be conducted by about 40,000 volunteers across the United States. Several million people are expected to participate in this call to prayer. Some celebrities, such as popular musician and Grammy Award winner Ricky Skaggs, will join millions of Americans in praying for the nation."

Wright County's event will be held today at the Dows Community Center at 11 a.m. Join that event or any event to pray for our country.

If you have no idea where an event might be, figure out a way to pray with a friend or two. Or check out the web site and let God lead you to pray for our nation.

What an honor! What an opportunity!

"Father God in Heaven,
we worship You!
You are our God, worthy of our praise!
What a heritage our country has to have been founded on Your principles and love. We are the recipients of wise and caring men who followed You in making their decisions.
Forgive us for wandering way from some of those humble beginnings.
We seek You. Your guidance. Your hope. Your help.

We pray for all of those in leadership, both nationally and closer to home. Lead them and guide them. Their thoughts and decisions.
Guide us. We know they are only as strong as we allow them to lead, help us to follow their leading.

Thank You for Your Love and Care.
We are only as strong as we allow Your leading into each of our lives.
In Jesus' Name.
Amen.
