2026 National Day of Prayer: May 7
Join us for a special evening of Scripture and prayer on May 7 at 6p.m. Families are encouraged to attend together or join us for the livestream. The sanctuary will be open throughout the day for prayer.
Each May, people from across the United States gather together in purpose to seek God on behalf of the nation. This year the theme calls us to “Glorify God Among the Nations, Seeking Him in All Generations” as part of our celebration of America’s 250th birthday. It is inspired by the passionate prayer of Thanksgiving prayed by King David in 1 Chronicles 16 after bringing the Ark of the Covenant to Jerusalem.
Tell of His glory among the nations, His wonderful deeds among all the peoples. – 1 Chronicles 16:24 NASB
In addition, the President has requested that Christians everywhere unite in prayer in 2026 in preparation for our 250th birthday celebration. This is not about politics. This is about uniting for a bigger purpose.
The Ask: What if one million Americans dedicated one hour a week to praying for our country and our people?
The Invitation: Will you join with at least 10 people to meet each week for one hour to pray for America?
The Opportunity: As we celebrate 250 years of freedom, this is an opportunity to rededicate ourselves to the principles that gave birth to this land of liberty. As George Washington famously said in his Farewell Address, “Of all the dispositions and habits which lead to political prosperity, religion and morality are indispensable supports. In vain would that man claim the tribute of patriotism who should labor to subvert these great pillars of human happiness, these firmest props of the duties of men and citizens.”
This dedicated time of prayer is not only for our nation, but for its people because a nation is only as strong as its citizens.

2026 National Prayer
Almighty God, King of Glory, we confess our sins and repent of our pride that
sought our own glory and comfort, allowing evil to take root instead of Your
fruit in our hearts, homes, culture, and country.
Please forgive us.
Now, with this declaration of rededication, we humble ourselves, pray, and seek Your
face, turning from our wicked ways, that You would heal our lives and our land.
Please purify and renew our hearts with holy attributes, affections, attitudes, and
actions-to love You with all our heart, soul, mind, and strength.
We give You glory as we repent and rededicate our lives and our nation to You.
For 250 years You have guarded and guided America in wisdom, grace, mercy, and love.
We praise and thank You for our Founding Fathers, for all who sought You in fervent prayer
throughout history and answered Your call to defend justice and freedom; to protect and serve,
preach and teach, innovate, communicate, learn, work, worship, and establish our laws.
May Your Kingdom come, and Your will be done in our lives, our Families, the Church, Education,
Business, Military, Government, Arts, Entertainment and Media as it is in heaven.
We prayerfully commit to “Glorify God Among the Nations, Seeking Him in All Generations.”
In Jesus’ name, Amen!
