National Day of Prayer in San Antonio

May 3, 2011

San Antonio will participate in the National Day of Prayer on Thursday, May 5th.

The details are shown on the San Antonio National Day of Prayer website:

Join hundreds of Believers at the Steps of City Hall on Thursday, May 5th at Noon as we worship, pray and seek the Lord’s will for our city and cry out for His mercy upon our nation.

Arrive by 11:30 for pre-service music led by Community Bible Church. Come early and stay late as God would lead you. Our country needs you to intercede for our needy land.

The official prayer for the day was written by Joni Eareckson Tada – 2011 Honorary Chairman.

Almighty God,

You are our Mighty Fortress, our refuge and the God in whom we place our trust. As our nation faces great distress and uncertainty, we ask your Holy Spirit to fall afresh upon your people — convict us of sin and inflame within us a passion to pray for our land and its people. Grant the leaders of our country an awareness of their desperate need of wisdom and salvation in You until sin becomes a reproach to all and righteousness exalts this nation.

Protect and defend us against our enemies and may the cause of Christ always prevail in our schools, courts, homes, and churches. Lord God, send a spirit of revival and may it begin in our own hearts.

Remember America, we pray. Remember the foundations on which this country was built. Remember the prayers of our nation’s fathers and mothers, and do not forget us in our time of need.
