Many Christians are unaware that they live in a nation that has a law in place requiring our President proclaim a National Day of Prayer each year on the first Thursday in May:
The President shall issue each year a proclamation designating the first Thursday in May as a National Day of Prayer on which the people of the United States may turn to God in prayer and meditation at churches, in groups, and as individuals. (Public Law 105-225)
As citizens and residents of the United States and as believers in Christ Jesus, we not only have a spiritual responsibility according to 1 Timothy 2:1-2 to pray, but a civic duty as well to heed our President’s call to stand in the gap for our nation. Who but God’s people have the ability to enter into the very throne room of Heaven with prayers and petitions!

The theme this year is For Your Great Name’s Sake! Hear Us... Forgive Us...Heal Us! 
Taken from Daniel 9:19, which says, “O Lord, Listen! O Lord, Forgive! O Lord, Hear and Act! For Your Sake, O My God...”. 
We have two ways you can participate.  We will have a prayer relay and a prayer gathering.  The relay will be prayer every half hour from 7am-7pm.  You can sign up below and be either on the at church or in community team.  The Prayer gathering will be at Montague City Hall at 12 noon.  We will have a time of prayer in the public square.  We will have additional resources to help you pray available. 
We hope that everyone spends some time in prayer this day, even if it is not part of the two events.    
Scripture tells us again and again that our fervent prayer is effective.
That our loving God responds to His children’s earnest pleas in mighty ways that avail much.
