National Day of Prayer 2009

The 58th Annual National Day of Prayer took place Thursday, May 7, 2009. Millions united in prayer as thousands of events took place from coast to coast. The theme for this year is "Prayer... America's Hope" and is based on the verse from Psalm 33:22 which states: "May your unfailing love rest upon us, O Lord, even as we put our hope in you."

Beth Moore joined Shirley Dobson to lead the nation in prayer as the 2009 Honorary Chairman of the National Day of Prayer Task Force.

Planning is already underway for the 59th Annual Observance that will take place, Thursday, May 6, 2010.
