EXCERPT EDITORIAL: Prayer is an integral part of the country
Since the founding of the country, prayer has been an integral part of our history and heritage. Since Washington's prayers for an infant nation and Jefferson's assertion that the new government should separate itself from infringing its laws on religious freedom, prayer has knitted a divine strength into the fabric of America.
Firmly rooted in the Judeo-Christian tradition, the National Day of Prayer Task Force seeks to promote an awareness of prayer, not only on this significant event, but on an ongoing basis. The first Thursday in May is a significant day when Americans lay aside differences and join hearts in acknowledging God. As a nation, we come together to humble ourselves and turn to the Lord on behalf of our country, knowing that it is in Him we trust, not ourselves, and it is through our prayers that we rely on Him to face the many issues which we have no
other answers but in Him.
In 1775 the first Continental Congress called for a National Day of Prayer. In 1863 Abraham Lincoln called for such a day. In 1952 Congress established National Day of Prayer as an annual event by a joint resolution, signed into law by President Truman. In 1988 the law was amended and signed by President Reagan, designating the National Day of Prayer as the first Thursday in May. President Ronald Reagan stated, "If we ever forget that we are One Nation Under God, then we will be a Nation gone under."
The National Day of Prayer belongs to all Americans. It is a day that transcends differences, bringing together citizens from all backgrounds. Mrs. Shirley Dobson, NDP chairman, reminds us: "We have lost many of our freedoms in America because we have been asleep. I feel if we do not become involved and support the annual National Day of Prayer, we could end of forgetting this freedom, too."

This Thursday, for the first time in nine years, there won't be a White House ceremony in observance of the National Day of Prayer.
White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs says President Barack Obama will pray privately as he does every day, but his only public acknowledgement will be to issue a White House proclamation.

Ladder of Divine Ascent excerpt: Step 15- "On incorruptible purity and chastity"
40. He who attempts to stop this war by temperance, and by that alone, is like a man who has the idea of escaping the sea by swimming with one hand. Join humility to temperance, because without the former the latter is useless.Prayer request? Send an email to: PrayerRequest3@aol.com
