Americans will gather Thursday, May 6 for the annual National Day Of Prayer. The region will host both in-person and virtual gatherings.
The theme for this year’s celebration is “LORD pour out Your LOVE, LIFE, and LIBERTY.”
Both organizers and participants hope to see the nation turn back to God, and are asking for a revival of the church, families and government – the three institutions established by God in the Scriptures.
PrayKC is organizing several of the regional events with locations spread out across the metro.
“In all our years in
Kansas City, we cannot recall a time we were more desperate for prayer and breakthrough in our city and nation than right now,” stated Pastor Gary Schmitz, director of PrayKC. “Through prayer, we are able to tap into God’s wisdom, strength, protection, and peace. He stands ready to respond to our needs when we humbly ask for divine intervention.”
Schmitz says that God is the one who gave us the promise in 2 Chronicles 7:14: “If my people, who are called by My name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land.” As we humbly and diligently seek Him, we’ll be changed, and we’ll see transformation in America through prayer!
