As most of you are well aware, the National Day of Prayer is an annual national observance established in public law in 1952 and observed publicly on the First Thursday in May since 1988. Regardless of the unprecedented challenges that our nation is facing today due to the COVID-19 outbreak and resulting economic shutdown, it will not be canceled nor postponed – but will look very different from years past.

PRAYER GUIDE FOR THE 2020 NATIONAL DAY OF PRAYER

Find Local Observances in Your Area

Each year, people gather across our nation in over 60,000 local community events to pray together for America. While the number of people gathering in-person may be different this year, the prayers we pray will be multiplied and amplified through new and creative approaches, combined with unprecedented access to digital platforms. In homes, neighborhoods, communities, cities, and states, our NDP coordinators are planning to mobilize millions in unified, public prayer for America while still observing recommended ‘physical distancing’ measures. the events will vary from state to state, and you can find out what is happening in your area, by visiting www.nationaldayofprayer.org/events. You can also connect and reach out to your state coordinator directly at https://www.nationaldayofprayer.org/state_coordinators.

Pray with Us During the National Observance Broadcast

By focusing on using these digital platforms, this year’s ‘virtual’ observances have the potential to become the largest prayer gathering in U.S. history – with millions PRAYING TOGETHER, INDIVIDUALLY.

In addition to the events being held in local communities, the NATIONAL OBSERVANCE BROADCAST will take place on MAY 7TH FROM 8 to 10 PM ET. Leading the night will be Kathy Branzell (President of the National Day of Prayer Task Force) and Will Graham (The Billy Graham Evangelistic Association), with help from Rick Warren (Saddleback Church); Bishop Harry Jackson (Hope Christian Church); Michael W. Smith (Nashville); Nick Hall (Pulse); Robert Morris (Gateway Church); Senators Lankford, Chris Coons, Tim Scott, and Representative Emanuel Cleaver; Luis and Andrew Palau (the Luis Palau Evangelistic Association); Billy Wilson (Oral Roberts University); Pat Robertson (CBN) and many more.

It will be broadcasted, streamed and posted in various ways including on our website, Facebook Live stream (https://www.facebook.com/natlprayer) and cross-posted on many of our ministry partner’s websites and Facebook pages. It can be viewed on television on GodTV, Daystar, with more stations to come, and on radio through Moody, Bott, and Salem Radio Networks. You can also find the link for the broadcast on our website and stream it out to the members of your group, organization or congregation through Facebook, Zoom, YouTube, or other video-streaming platform.

Get the word out, let your friends and family know, and join us as we pray!

This year’s theme, “Pray God’s Glory Across the Earth”, is based on Habakkuk 2:14, and reminds us that this promise, “for the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord as the waters cover the sea.” is for us today. National Day of Prayer (NDP) Task Force President, Kathy Branzell, put it this way, “Unprecedented times call for unprecedented prayer! This year’s ‘virtual’ National Day of Prayer Observance may have more prayer – and more ‘pray-ers’ than ever before!”

Father, our nation has been humbled by a plague which You in Your mercy deemed essential to our restoration to Your Holiness…while it can never make us holy, it can serve to turn usA around to Justice and Righteousness. We honor Your Kingdom in heaven and trust You are preparing our hearts for more of Your Kingdom to come to earth and our hearts prepared to teshuva into a new reset of Kingdom principles to rule in our hearts, a refreshing of our minds by the touch of Your Holy Spirit in our lungs/breath to remove old patterns of thoughts that serve another kingdom. May we be known as People of the Book once again where Your Word, our owner’s manual is sought out on how to truly love one another and live peacefully with those who are pre-Christian. To You be all the honor and glory because of our Savior and Lord, Jesus Yeshua. Amen Omain.

Father- Prepare our hearts and let us be a part of what You are doing in the nation this very day. Grant an outpouring of Your Spirit on those who will lead us. Help them to have clarity of thought and pureness of motive. May Your Holy Spirit guide our hearts as we seek You together.
