America’s Historically Unique National Day of Prayer
America’s National Day of Prayer–Thursday, May 7–is a unique event. There’s nothing like it anywhere in the world and in all of history (with the exception of biblical Israel).
It points to the United States as a nation founded on faith in God and a covenantal relationship with Him.
This year, America’s 75th annual NDP (48th consecutive one the first Thursday in May), an estimated 300,000 prayer gatherings will take place in the 3,142 counties of our land.

Are You Praying for Our Next President and Other World Leaders?
The Apostle Paul’s first letter to his disciple Timothy lays out some priorities for prayer:
I urge you, first of all, to pray for all people. Ask God to help them; intercede on their behalf, and give thanks for them. Pray this way for kings and all who are in authority so that we can live peaceful and quiet lives marked by godliness and dignity (1 Timothy 2:1,2 – New Living Translation).
First, we should pray for all human beings on earth (8.2 billion estimate). God wants us to have “world vision.” Second, he encourages prayer for the leaders over those eight billion folks. They are vital to peace and harmony on earth.

Praying for Megan’s Salvation
U.S. soccer star, Megan Rapinoe, is one of the most recognized and decorated athletes in world.
Recently, at the twilight of her brilliant career, she made a statement that turned many heads. For some, the reaction was to laugh or mock her. I can’t say she didn’t deserve it.
But I want to encourage a different response to her outburst.
Let’s pray passionately for Megan’s salvation.
