National Day of Prayer History

The National Day of Prayer is a vital part of America’s heritage. Since the first call to prayer in 1775, the Continental Congress asked the colonies to pray for wisdom in forming a nation. This has continued through our history. In 1863, President Lincoln proclaimed a day of “humiliation, fasting, and prayer.” In 1952, President Harry S. Truman signed a bill proclaiming that each subsequent president must declare a National Day of Prayer. And, in 1988, President Ronald Reagan amended this law, and designated the first Thursday of May as the National Day of Prayer.  Each year, the president signs a proclamation, encouraging all Americans to pray on this day.

The National Day of Prayer has great significance for us as a nation as it enables us to recall and to teach the way in which our founding fathers sought the wisdom of God when faced with critical decisions. It stands as a call for us to humbly come before God, seeking His guidance for our leaders and His grace upon us as a people. The unanimous passage of the bill establishing the National Day of Prayer as an annual event, signifies that prayer is as important to our nation today as it was in the beginning.
