Since 1988, the first Thursday in May has been Pray for our country! observed each year throughout the United States of America as a National Day of Prayer.  Since then, many of us have witnessed the removal of prayer from schools and legal institutions.  Our nation seems to be collectively turning from Christianity.  It still comes as a surprise, however, that this year, President Obama did not issue a proclamation establishing the 7th of May, 2009, as a National Day of Prayer until late afternoon of that day.  The USA is in desperate need of that from which it runs.  The very God which it rejects is its only hope.

Listen to the following speech given by President Ronald Reagan on August 23, 1984.  Let us fall on our knees and cry out for the nation in which we make our earthly home!
