Darn, I totally forgot about this event today! Unfortunately it didn’t get much promotion in the media – at a time when the country has rarely needed it more.
 
It was scheduled to begin at noon and was supposed to be simulcast on the web. But when I did remember, and tried to access the site around 12:30, the homepage was down. Ten hours later, it still is ~
 
 

The organization’s Twitter and Facebook accounts were pretty much silent all day also.
 
Folks, this is not a good sign…
 
Two years ago things were bad. Today they’re worse. What a sad testament to the waning influence of Christianity in America.
 

Let those of us who still call ourselves Christians take up the appeal to God with renewed effort. (I pray that you’ll pray )
 
I couldn’t find the prayer they were using today, but this one from 2013 will work ~

Father, we come to You to pray for our nation, the United States of America.
 
How You have blessed us through the years, Lord! We rightly sing, “America, America, God shed His grace on thee.” Yet we see trouble in our culture today. We see the breakdown of the family, crippling addictions, and random acts of horrific violence.
 
Lord, we need Your help in America. In recent days, we have done our best to remove Your Word and Your counsel from our courtrooms, classrooms, and culture. It seems, as President Lincoln once said, that we have “forgotten God.” But Lord, You have not forgotten us! You can bless and help and revive our country again.

Scripture tells us that “Righteousness exalts a nation, but sin is a reproach to any people” (Proverbs 14:34). Lord, in Your mercy, we ask that You would exalt our country again. We have had a number of great awakenings in America. We have experienced times of refreshing, and revivals that changed not only the spiritual but also the moral landscape. As the psalmist said, “Will You not revive us again, so that Your people may rejoice in You?” (Psalm 85:6).
 
That is our prayer for America today, Lord. Send a mighty spiritual awakening that will turn the hearts of men and women, boys and girls, back to you. You have told us if we will humble ourselves and pray, and seek Your face and turn from our wicked ways, that You will forgive our sins and heal our land (2 Chronicles7:14).
 
Forgive us today, Lord, and heal this troubled land that we love so much.
 
We ask all of this in the name of Jesus Christ.
 
Amen.

Keep in mind what this Facebook commenter so wisely said ~

If tomorrow is the only day we pray because it’s the national Day of Prayer we’re doing it wrong. We must pray EVERY day. We must pray for our enemies as much as for our brethren. Salvation is equally available to all of us – even our enemies, foreign and domestic! As Scripture instructs, “pray without ceasing.”
