Our nation is in crisis and unifying Christians to pray for America is the most important thing we can do right now. It is a privilege we have to pray and we should not take it lightly
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Tomorrow is the 36th annual National Day of Prayer where people across the nation will gather for a day of prayer for the United States of America. The theme this year is “Love One Another,” taken from the words of Jesus in John 13:34, “Love one another. Just as I have loved you.”
On Thursday evening, Dr. Ronnie Floyd will lead the National Observance, which will be held at 7:30 p.m. ET in the National Statuary Hall of the U.S. Capitol. The National Observance will bring together a multiethnic, cross-denominational coalition of participants including some members of Congress as well as hundreds of faith leaders. Rev. Samuel Rodriguez, president of the National Hispanic Christian Leadership Conference, Rev. Anthony B. Thompson, whose wife was murdered in the 2015 shooting at Emanuel AME Church in Charleston, South Carolina, and Julio Arriola, a church planter and missionary to Mexico, will help lead the prayer event. Pastor Andrew Brunson, who was released last year after spending two years in a Turkish jail, will also participate.
