The National Day of Prayer 2014 is on May 1st, and churches, community organizations, and neighborhoods across the country are ready to intercede on behalf of our nation's leaders.
The Day "stands as a call for us to humbly come before God, seeking His guidance for our leaders and His grace upon us as a people," the National Day of Prayer's Task Force website states.
All faiths are invited to participate in the annual observance, which was signed into law in 1952.
"The National Day of Prayer belongs to all Americans. It is a day that transcends differences, bringing together citizens from all backgrounds," the website continues.
