In fact, this marks the 50th annual observance since President Harry S Truman signed a joint resolution with Congress in 1952. President Ronald Reagan amended the resolution in 1988, designating the first Thursday of May at the National Day of Prayer. Let us take advantage of Thursday National Day of Prayer and pray in our different ways that God will forgive our nation, and that God will continue to bless America. Much has been said about prayer in our nation. Sadly enough, very few people pray.
Prayer is such an easy thing to do, but it is so easily neglected from day to day.
There are many reasons why people do not pray. Some do not know how to pray and some do not believe in prayer. Still others feel ashamed to be seen or heard praying, while some think prayer is a sign of weakness. Some are too proud or too busy to pray. Many people do not pray because they do not believe it works.
