From CBN:
This year’s theme is “Glorify God among the nations, seeking Him in all generations,” focusing on intergenerational unity and giving glory to God for the nation’s history.
It’s drawn from 1 Chronicles 16:24: “Tell of His glory among the nations, His wonderful deeds among all the peoples.” (NASB)
Kathy Branzell, president of the National Day of Prayer Task Force, tells CBN News younger generations are increasingly turning to faith not just as a “death destination” conversation, but as a source of “hope for today.”
Branzell pointed to growing spiritual hunger among younger Americans, highlighting Gen Z’s willingness to openly share their faith on college campuses and during spring break outreaches. She also encouraged believers to develop consistent prayer habits by finding prayer partners in their communities and workplaces, stressing that prayer should become a “holy habit” rather than an occasional ritual.
This year’s National Day of Prayer event will take place at Statuary Hall on May 7 and feature several prominent Christian and government leaders, including Speaker of the House Mike Johnson, evangelist Will Graham, Senate Chaplain Barry Black, and House Chaplain Margaret Grun Kibben. Organizers hope the gathering will inspire Americans to stop complaining about the nation’s problems and instead intercede faithfully for revival and healing.

At a time when America faces deep division, confusion, and spiritual challenges, the National Day of Prayer serves as a powerful reminder that God still hears the prayers of His people. Let’s continue to cry out for awakening, repentance, and national rededication to the Lord.
