Please join us at the Carroll County Airport on Thursday, May 4, at 8:00 a.m. for the 2023
National Day of Prayer as we turn to the Father in prayer and in reverence to His holy
name.
The 72 nd annual National Day of Prayer theme and Scripture reference is
“Pray fervently in righteousness and avail much.”

James 5:16B

Prayer has been an integral part of our lives for centuries, and the call to prayer is as
relevant as ever. Ever since our nation’s founding, our leaders have called for days of
prayer and thanksgiving. Originally signed into law by President Harry Truman in 1952,
the National Day of Prayer in the United States is a day when people of all faiths are asked
to pray for our nation.
The National Day of Prayer is a national observance in which anyone can participate,
regardless of faith background. Over 40,000 prayer gatherings are held every year, which
means that millions of people are taking part in this day of corporate and individual
prayer as an expression of their spiritual lives. This day of devotion is an opportunity to
exalt the Lord and ask for His blessings for our nation, state, county, and our neighbors.
The general public is invited to attend. The event is sponsored locally by the Carroll
County Chamber of Commerce. For more information, please contact the Chamber at
