National Calls to Prayer

Throughout the centuries, America has had a rich history of participating in times of prayer. Oftentimes, prayer proclamations were issued by the governor of a colony or state, or by the president of the United States. In fact, by 1815, some 1,400 official calls to prayer had been issued by governmental leaders. These included calls for both Days of Prayer and Fasting and Days of Thanksgiving. On these days, citizens and congregations would gather together at churches at various locations, pastors would preach a sermon addressing the topics outlined in the proclamation, and then they would all pray. We have recently posted several of these sermons from WallBuilders' vast library collection, including:
A sermon by the Rev. Jeremy Belknap of Boston in response to President John Adams' 1798 national Fast Day proclamation.
A sermon by the Rev. Eliphalet Gillet of Hallowell, Maine, in response to President John Adams' 1799 national Fast Day proclamation.
A sermon by the Rev. David Tappan in response to a 1798 statewide Fast Day proclaimed by Massachusetts Governor Increase Sumner.
A sermon by the Rev. Henry Colman of Massachusetts in response to a proclamation issued by President James Madison during the War of 1812.
As we approach the National Day of Prayer, it is a time for all Americans to "Seek the Lord while He may be found, and call upon Him while He is near." (Isaiah 55:6). On Thursday May 2nd of this year, there will be literally tens of thousands of groups gathering together to pray corporately with their fellow Americans. To find these locations, you can visit the National Day of Prayer official site. If you are unable to attend one of these gatherings, please take time to individually lift up our nation, government, leaders, military, families, businesses, schools, and places of worship, fervently asking for God's grace, mercy, and blessing on the nation as we humble ourselves before Him.

 [I]f 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 heal their land.
(2 Chronicles 7:14)
