FB-ISAO encourages members to take time on May 6th to recognize this day.
Thursday, 06 May 2021 is the National Day of Prayer. The National Day of Prayer is an annual observance held on the first Thursday of May, that was created in 1952 by a joint resolution of the United States Congress, and signed into law by President Harry S. Truman. According to U.S. code, “The President shall issue each year a proclamation designating the first Thursday in May as a National Day of Prayer on which the people of the United States may turn to God in prayer and meditation at churches, in groups, and as individuals.”
As stated by President Truman, the National Day of Prayer affords all people an opportunity “on which the people of the United States may turn to God in prayer and meditation…”
FB-ISAO encourages members to take time on May 6th to recognize this day. Since the last Day of Prayer, our nation has experienced great loss as the pandemic has taken many lives across the nation, an assault on our nation’s capital, continued protests and violence relating to racial and social justice issues, and a myriad of other challenges here at home and internationally. As President Truman said in 1952, may this day be an opportunity to “beseech God to grant us wisdom to know the course which we should follow, and strength and patience to pursue that course steadfastly. May we also give thanks to Him for His constant watchfulness over us in every hour of national prosperity and national peril.”
