In this anniversary year when we are celebrating the 70th National Day of Prayer observance, seven decades of American Presidents, by law, calling for prayer for our nation, it would be easy to rest on our laurels, but we cannot! We must press into the coming decades even MORE fervently, knowing that the challenges for our nation are INCREASING, not DECREASING! We see where our nation is when held up to the standard of God’s Eternal Word, and the task may seem daunting, but we serve GOD ALMIGHTY! Imagine what our nation would look like if God’s people had NOT... Read more >>

“But we will give ourselves continually to prayer and to the ministry of the word.” Acts 6:4 NKJV The National Day of Prayer is just two weeks from today! Thousands of volunteers around our nation have been preparing for this day for months. They’ve been working diligently, preparing, promoting, and praying continually for their events in their communities – mobilizing unified public prayer for America. Over the next two weeks, we want to encourage everyone to personally mobilize and promote prayer more fervently than ever! There is still time to order resources through www.nationaldayofprayer.net and receive them before your event. For less than the... Read more >>

"If you love Me, you will keep My commandments." John 14:15 As we draw nearer to the National Day of Prayer on May 6th we are delighted and excited by the many ways that our coordinators are planning to mobilize unified public prayer for America. We will hear many prayers and witness many acts of honor, repentance, justice, righteousness, and love; all done in obedience and to the glory of Jesus. I am often surprised when Biblical obedience is misjudged and misinterpreted as political correctness. The Word of God taught and commanded us to do many things such as treating every...

Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty. 2 Corinthians 3:17 NAS Here we are, less than a month from this year’s National Day of Prayer on May 6th 2021! These are exciting days for our thousands of coordinators who are planning and preparing prayer gatherings from coast-to-coast across America. While our name, ”National Day of Prayer Task Force” can be confusing to some who might think we only work one day a year, we are actually on mission to mobilize unified public prayer for America EVERY day of the year. We... Read more >>

The Death, Burial, and Resurrection of Jesus from the Gospel of Mark 15:33-16:11 NIV His Death At noon, darkness came over the whole land until three in the afternoon. And at three in the afternoon Jesus cried out in a loud voice, “Eloi, Eloi, lema sabachthani?” (which means “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?”). When some of those standing near heard this, they said, “Listen, he’s calling Elijah.”Someone ran, filled a sponge with wine vinegar, put it on a staff, and offered it to Jesus to drink. “Now leave him alone. Let’s see if Elijah comes to take him down,” he said. With a... Read more >>

The answer is YES! With many states having opened up for gatherings, YES, we are planning in-person events around our nation, from east to west, from shore to shore on the National Day of Prayer! YES, a few will gather in Washington D.C., although extremely limited by Capitol and covid restrictions for our National Observance, but thankfully, YES, we will be gathering together virtually that evening for our National Broadcast where we can express united prayer and experience togetherness as a nation right where we live. Through the shutdowns of last year, and all that we have learned this year,... Read more >>

John 10:9-10 "I am the door; if anyone enters through Me, he will be saved, and will go in and out and find pasture. The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I came that they may have life, and have it abundantly.” NAS As we continue praying through the 2021 National Day of Prayer theme and prayer: “Lord Pour Out Your LOVE, LIFE, and LIBERTY,” we focused on Jesus being our LORD in January. All of the promises and all that Jesus provided for us can only be claimed if we proclaim Him as our LORD and Savior. You... Read more >>

“I prayed for freedom for twenty years but received no answer until I prayed with my legs.” Frederick Douglass Over 2000 years ago, the Savior of the world fulfilled the greatest demonstration of love humanity will ever know. For the sake of the world being liberated from enslavement to sin, Christ died, that we might be free. Galatians 5:1 says, “Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ has made us free and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage.” Christ’s obedience to the will of His Father, exhibited a faith willing to go beyond humanity’s unworthiness, willing to subjugate His...

“These all with one mind were continually devoting themselves to prayer,” Acts 1:14 NAS As we step into the season before Easter known as Lent, we are aware that many Christians do not necessarily observe Lent in its original 40-day fast or other traditions as observed in some denominations, but we can all agree that it is important to remember Jesus’ days, words and events leading up to His crucifixion as well as taking time to prepare our hearts for the celebration of Resurrection Sunday. For the next few weeks leading up to Easter we will be posting Scripture and... Read more >>
