Gracious God,
We enter into Thy Presence on this National Day of Prayer with great praise and thanksgiving; for You have blessed us with the overwhelming power of Your love and grace. Though we are burdened by the future of our State and its people, You are our eternal source of salvation. Though we are pressed with difficult crises to which the solution is unclear, faithfully You hold the answer to our deepest needs and our most complex questions. Even in our times of loneliness and disappointment, You are always our Loving and Merciful Father Who embraces us with the peace and assurance of a healing hug. O God, the wonder of Your presence in our lives is the resounding hope that ties us together in victory; for You have claimed each of us as Your children with the promise that our journey will not be traveled in vain. How fortunate are we to be loved by the true God Who is always our greatest Supporter and our Dearest Friend.
