The National Day of Prayer is more than a tradition—it is a chance to unite our voices, lift our hearts, and call for transformation in our communities and our nation. At a time when division and injustice seem to dominate, prayer reminds us that change begins with faith and collective action. Here’s how you can take part in a simple but powerful three-step process.

Step 1: Form a Prayer Circle

Start by gathering a group in your community—a prayer circle. This can be as small as a few friends meeting in a living room or as large as an entire congregation coming together in a sanctuary. The size doesn’t matter; what matters is unity. Each prayer circle will plan its own event for the National Day of Prayer, ensuring that people are joined together with one purpose: to pray for change, for justice, and for renewal.

Step 2: Promote Your Event

Once your prayer circle has planned its gathering, spread the word. Use social media, church bulletins, community newsletters, or simply word of mouth. The goal is to invite others to join in, so that on the National Day of Prayer, voices across your community rise together in one chorus of faith. Promotion isn’t about numbers—it’s about ensuring that everyone who longs for change knows they have a place to pray.

Step 3: Gather, Pray, and Share

On the National Day of Prayer, bring your circle together for the event you’ve planned. Document the moment—take photos, share reflections, and talk about why this day matters to you. Then pray. Pray for transformation. Pray for compassion. Pray for justice. Pray for good. Afterward, share your story with the wider National Day of Prayer community so that leaders and neighbors alike can see that we are united, not divided, in how we want to treat one another in this world.

Plan.

Promote.

Pray and Share.

Scripture reminds us:

• “If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face…then I will hear from heaven.” — 2 Chronicles 7:14
• “With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.” — Matthew 19:26

This National Day of Prayer, let’s show our leaders—and ourselves—that unity, compassion, and justice are possible when we come together before God.
