Have You Prayed for Our Nation Today?

On this day, Americans from across the nation, along with many of our government leaders, will stop and seek the Lord regarding America, her leaders, and her people. If you haven’t taken some time today to pray, I encourage you to do so before the day is over and maybe make plans to host a prayer meeting at your home or church for the 2027 event.

The theme for this year, according to the National Day of Prayer website, is “Glorify God Among the Nations, Seeking Him in All Generations”:

Every year we pray and seek the Lord for the National Day of Prayer theme that will guide our year and unite the tens of thousands of prayer gatherings we host from coast to coast. This year on May 7, 2026, we will unite and pray as our new 2026 theme calls us to, “Glorify God Among the Nations, Seeking Him in All Generations.”

Last year our theme was inspired by a prayer that the apostle Paul prayed over the believers in Rome.

In 2026, our theme is inspired by a passionate prayer of Thanksgiving, prayed by King David in 1 Chronicles 16 after bringing the Ark of the Covenant to Jerusalem. This chapter records Israel celebrating the return of the Ark after being separated for 70 years earlier. While God was always watching over Israel and just a prayer away from them and King David, the Ark of the Covenant represented the presence of God. . . .

We are excited and delighted to share the 2026 National Day of Prayer theme with you, and ask that you commit to pray with us each week as God blesses us as we seek Him in Scripture and fervent prayer and glorifying Him through the 2026 National Day of Prayer theme that prompts us to, “Glorify God Among the Nations, Seeking Him in All Generations.” (emphasis in original)

We pray that God would be glorified here in America and glorified around the world so that “all tribes and peoples and languages” (Revelation 7:9) will worship and praise the Lamb of God in our generation and in those to come.

Thanks for stopping by and thanks for praying,
Ken
