Event Description

One Nation Under God, 61st Annual National Day of Prayer, May 3, 2012

The National Day of Prayer theme for 2012, One Nation Under God, emphasizes a parallel biblical truth found in Psalm 33:12, “Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord.”

This verse makes it clear that God cares about and responds to the attitudes and actions of His people.

In recognition of the importance of publicly acknowledging our dependence on God, tens of thousands of National Day of Prayer gatherings around the country on the first Thursday of May, as well as an observance on Capitol Hill.

2012 NATIONAL PRAYER by Dr. David Jeremiah – NDP Honorary Chairman

Heavenly Father,

Every good gift and perfect gift comes from You. You are a faithful God and Your mercy endures forever.

You have promised to bless the nation that trusts in You. Our currency proclaims “In God We Trust,” but in our culture we are far from You.

In the words of the prophet Daniel, “We have sinned and committed iniquity, we have done wickedly and rebelled, even by departing from Your precepts and Your judgments.”

We come before You once more, seeking Your forgiveness and mercy. You, O God, are our only hope... Hear our prayer and, for Your honor’s sake, shine Your face upon this nation.

Give our leaders the desire to seek Your wisdom and the courage to follow Your guidance... and watch over the men and women of our armed forces as they sacrifice for the cause of freedom.

We give You thanks for all You have done for us, and we earnestly pray that You will help us become, once again, a nation whose God is the Lord.

In the name of Your Son, and our Savior, we pray this prayer. Amen
