The National Day of Prayer, an annual event that began in 1952 with a joint resolution of Congress, kicked off on Capitol Hill Thursday morning with a call to Christian arms via this year’s theme: “Prayer – America’s Hope.”
Shirley Dobson, chairman of the prayer task force, opened ceremonies with a thanks for all “to come and worship the Lord and to ask for His favor” on our country.
“We’ve come here in a time of crises,” she said. “In 1991 … America was in great distress. An economic downturn and employment plagued many families.”
