PLEASE JOIN US IN OBSERVING NATIONAL DAY OF PRAYER.

This year, on our nation’s 250th anniversary, the National Day of Prayer celebrates 75 years of prayer for America! The National Day of Prayer observance was established in 1952, by a joint resolution of Congress and signed into law by President Truman. Each year since then, our president has called upon the citizens of our nation to pray, and in 1988 President Reagan established this day of prayer to be the First Thursday of May.

The 2026 Theme is “Glorify God Among the Nations – Seeking Him in All Generations.”

“Tell of His glory among the nations, His wonderful deeds among all the peoples.” 1 Chronicles 16:24 NASB.

Please join us on Thursday, May 7, 2026, from 12-2 p.m. as we pray for the seven sectors which influence society: Church, Family, Education, Business/Workplace, Military, Government, and Arts/Entertainment/Media.

We are expecting God to answer our prayers for the observance of 2026 National Day of Prayer, as we join with church leaders/congregants/parishioners, local/state government leaders, arts/entertainment/media sectors, military branches, law enforcement, business leaders, healthcare industry leaders, and families as we join in prayer.

You are welcome to join us to sing, worship and praise the Lord, agree with us as prayers and Scriptures are prayed or decreed by an assigned group of leaders, the Proclamation read, and a brief message.

In agreement with 2 Chronicles 7:14 “If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.”

The efforts of the National Day of Prayer Task Force are performed in accordance with its Judeo-Christian values and beliefs. We would love for the prayer gathering to cause repentance, unity, for positive change to occur in Illinois and the nations, and for people to submit their lives to Christ. A time for disciples across 102 counties within Illinois and this nation to become imitators of Jesus Christ to pray.
