The 57th
Annual National Day of Prayer took place Thursday,
May 1, 2008. The theme for this year was
"Prayer! America's Strength and Shield" and is based on the
verse from Psalm 28:7 which states: "The Lord is my strength and
shield; my heart trusts in Him and I am helped."
Dr.
Ravi Zacharias helped lead this nation in prayer as the 2008
Honorary Chairman of the National Day of Prayer Task Force. Through the
efforts of the Task Force, more than 35,000 prayer gatherings were conducted by approximately 40,000 volunteers across the country. Several
million people were expected to participate in this call to prayer for
our nation, its leaders and citizens. |

This is a critical time
to be in prayer for America. The biblical principles upon which our
country was founded are coming under attack in every segment of society.
Yet despite this troubling trend we can take heart in the knowledge that
God hears and responds to the earnest cries of His people. In one of my
favorite Psalms, 28:7, David makes this confident declaration: "The
Lord is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in Him, and I am
helped." What a comforting reminder that God is indeed the source
of all power, guidance and protection.
It is with this in mind that we chose for our 2008 National Day of
Prayer theme, "Prayer, America's Strength and Shield."
It is tremendously heartening to know that you are standing with us as
we call this great nation to prayer. Thank you for devoting yourself to
this cause and please know that we are remembering you before God's
throne as we work together to spark a nationwide revival of prayer and
repentance.
- Shirley Dobson, Chairman
