Did you know it is the 75th US National Day of Prayer today?
This year’s theme: GLORIFY GOD AMONG THE NATIONS - SEEKING HIM IN ALL GENERATIONS
I Chronicles 16:24 Tell of His glory among the nations, His wonderful deeds among all the peoples.
Kathy Branzell, President of the National Day of Prayer Task Force, gives background on the prayerfully selected verse and theme for this year: “In 2026, our theme is inspired by a passionate prayer of Thanksgiving, prayed by King David in 1 Chronicles 16 after bringing the Ark of the Covenant to Jerusalem. This chapter records Israel celebrating the return of the Ark after being separated for 70 years earlier. While God was always watching over Israel and just a prayer away from them and King David, the Ark of the Covenant represented the presence of God having been constructed at the command of God and carried by the Levites with Moses as they wandered and waited to enter the Promised Land and eventually stolen from the tabernacle in Shiloh at their defeat in the battle in Ebenezer. I’ll pause here in its history for now. Thankfully, we have an entire year to unpack 365 days or more of all the prayers and prompts we can glean from this theme.”
My kids’ school is again hosting an event tonight at 7pm. Feel free to come and join us if you live in the area.

The specific 7 spheres of influence to be covered in prayer are Families, Church, Education, Media (including Arts/Entertainment), Business (and Workplace), Military and Government. Whether you are in the US or not, we can all pray over these 7 areas.
As a family, we try to cover one of these areas each day of the week. Sunday is Church, Monday is Families, Tuesday is Education, Wednesday is Business (and community), Thursday is Media, Friday is Military and Saturday is Government. Which area is God leading you to add to your prayer list? What area will you pray over right now?
