National Day of Prayer

When I was a little girl
grown-ups taught me how to pray
No one taught me how to listen
only words to say

Today has been designated The National Day of Prayer.
May you listen as you pray.


The National Day of Prayer is an annual observance held on the first Thursday of May, inviting people of all faiths to pray for the nation. It was created in 1952 by a joint resolution of the United States Congress, and signed into law by President Harry S. Truman. Our Task Force is a privately funded organization whose purpose it is to encourage participation on the National Day of Prayer. http://www.ndptf.org/about/index.cfm
