This Thursday marks the 57th annual National Day of Prayer. The theme for 2008 comes from Psalm 28:7, “The Lord is my strength and shield; my heart trusts in Him, and I am helped.” Please remember our nation in your prayers today.

The National Day of Prayer Task Force suggests praying the 2008 Prayer for the Nation at noon local time.

The 2008 Prayer for the Nation
by Dr. Ravi Zacharias

Holy Father, in a world where so many are hungry,
You have given us food in abundance;

In a world where so many are hurting,
You offer to bind up our wounds;

In a world where so many are lonely,
You offer friendship to every heart;

In a world longing for peace,
You offer hope.

Yet, we are so stubborn and resistant.
Have mercy upon us, Lord.

Our nation is at a crossroads this year;
we look to you to be our strength and shield.

Please give us the guidance to elect one who will honor you
and to respond to the wisdom from above
so that our hope may be renewed and our blessings be treasured.

In God’s holy name
