National Day of Prayer 2014
The National Day of Prayer is an annual observance held on the first Thursday of May. On this day, people of all faiths are encouraged to set time aside to pray for our nation. This year, the National Day of Prayer falls on Thursday, May 1.
The theme for the 2014 National Day of Prayer is “One Voice, United in Prayer” The verse that was chosen is Romans 15:6, “So that with one mind and one voice you may glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.”
There are several opportunities to participate in prayer in the West Michigan area. Local observances can be found at: www.nationaldayofprayer.org. To find on observance near you, click on the Events page and fill in your zip code, or your city and state.
On the National Day of Prayer we are encouraged to pray for 7 areas of influence in our society, including government, military, schools, churches, media, police and fire protection. Even if you cannot make it to a National Day of Prayer event, we encourage Christians around West Michigan to set aside some time on May 1st to pray for our country, and state and local governments and to pray for revival in our land.
