🙏 Why Gather in Prayer?
The National Day of Prayer is more than a tradition—it’s a spiritual responsibility and a moment to unify across denominations, generations, and races. In these uncertain times, we need to boldly pray for our:
- Government leaders
- First responders and law enforcement
- Churches and families
- Schools and youth
- Revival and awakening in America
This year’s theme urges us to “Lift Up the Word – Light Up the World.” As believers, we recognize that God’s Word is a lamp unto our feet and a light unto our path (Psalm 119:105). We gather not to protest, but to proclaim: God is our hope.
✝️ Be the Church in the Public Square
By gathering at the Chesterfield Courthouse or the Bell Tower at Capitol Square, we stand in the heart of our civic communities, offering a public witness that God is still on the throne and that His people still believe in the power of prayer.
🙌 Spread the Word—Bring a Friend
Whether you attend in Chesterfield or Richmond, make it a point to show up, pray boldly, and invite others. Our nation needs believers who are not ashamed to call on the name of the Lord in the public square. Let’s unite in faith, seek His face, and trust Him to heal our land.
Let’s seek the Lord together on May 1st. Because when God’s people pray, He listens.
