About the National Day of Prayer
United States
Ends: May 01, 2025
DESCRIPTION:
The National Day of Prayer was created in 1952; however, throughout American history, many official National Days of Prayer have existed. It is non-denominational and not specific to any religion, and Sikhs, Muslims, Christians, Jews, and people from all faiths participate.
In recent years atheist groups have created an alternative to this day, known as the National Day of Reason. The constitutionality of the day is regularly challenged on First Amendment grounds.
Prayer has played an essential role in the American story and in shaping our Nation's leaders. President Abraham Lincoln once said, "I have been driven many times upon my knees by the overwhelming conviction that I had nowhere else to go. My own wisdom and that of all about me seemed insufficient for the day."
The late Coretta Scott King recounted a tough night during the Montgomery bus boycott when her husband, the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., received a threatening phone call and prayed at the kitchen table, saying, "Lord, I have nothing left. I have nothing left. I have come to the point where I can't face it alone." Dr. King said in that moment of prayer, he was filled with a sense of comfort and resolve, which his wife credited as a turning point in the civil rights movement.
