National Day of Prayer
You’re on a need-to-know basis.

We need-to-know that every good and lasting blessing comes from God. When we try to find our blessing in the gods of money, power, fame, drugs, sex, etc., we are under the lordship of that to which we submit ourselves. The ultimate result of this is the destruction of the individual or a nation.

May we take time on the National Day of Prayer, May 3, to return to God from whom all blessings flow and acknowledge Him as Lord.

2012 NATIONAL PRAYER - Dr. David Jeremiah – NDP Honorary Chairman
Heavenly Father,
Every good gift and perfect gift comes from You. You are a faithful God and Your mercy endures forever. You have promised to bless the nation that trusts in You. Our currency proclaims “In God We Trust,” but in our culture we are far from You.
In the words of the prophet Daniel, “We have sinned and committed iniquity, we have done wickedly and rebelled, even by departing from Your precepts and Your judgments.”
We come before You once more, seeking Your forgiveness and mercy.
You, O God, are our only hope… Hear our prayer and, for Your honor’s sake, shine Your face upon this nation. Give our leaders the desire to seek Your wisdom and the courage to follow Your guidance… and watch over the men and women of our armed forces as they sacrifice for the cause of freedom.
We give You thanks for all You have done for us, and we earnestly pray that You will help us become, once again, a nation whose God is the Lord.
In the name of Your Son, and our Savior, we pray this prayer. Amen
