National Day of Prayer Task Force
About National Day of Prayer Task Force
The National Day of Prayer is an annual observance held on the first Thursday of May, inviting people of all faiths to pray for the nation. It was created in 1952 by a joint resolution of the United States Congress, and signed into law by President Harry S. Truman. Our Task Force is a privately funded organization whose purpose is to encourage participation on the National Day of Prayer, to communicate with every individual the need for personal repentance and prayer, to mobilize the Christian community to intercede for America's leaders and its families and to create appropriate supporting materials. The Task Force represents a Judeo Christian expression of the national observance, based on our understanding that this country was birthed in prayer and in reverence for the God of the Bible.
