National Day of Prayer


The upcoming 62nd annual National Day of Prayer, May 2, 2013, will have profound significance for our country.  We have an unprecedented opportunity to see the Lord’s healing and renewing power made manifest as we call on citizens to humbly come before His throne.  To echo the words of Mary Washington, mother of our nation’s first president, we believe it is time to “Remember that God is our only sure trust.”
 
Our theme for 2013 is Pray for America, emphasizing the need for individuals, corporately and individually, to place their faith in the unfailing character of their Creator, who is sovereign over all governments, authorities, and men.  To further highlight our theme, we’ve chosen Matthew 12:21 as our Scripture for this year:  “In His name the nations will put their hope.
 
Our community  will have the opportunity to join the National Day of Prayer Thursday, May 2 on the steps of Live Oak City Hall for a time of prayer beginning at 12:15 p.m. Prayers will be offered for the needs of our nation and community. Seating will not be provided. Lawn chairs are welcome.
