“ Thank You God for the inspiration of the National Day of Prayer!
Calling for Unity of people, unity of prayer under One God!
Please make every day of this nation, a day of prayer, day of patience, day of peace, day of generosity and justice. O Glorious, Compassionate and Merciful Lord!
Bless our hearts with love and humility, our minds with vision and wisdom, and our wills with power and determination to serve You and Your creation!
You are the God of Hope, Help and Healing!
Please guide us and help us to represent and reflect Your mercy, justice and reconciliation in a world suffers from the forces of injustice, corruption, poverty, ignorance, brutality and bloodshed.
Please bless our local and national authorities with the devotion, courage and leadership and bless America to be a shining light of sincere support for freedom, democracy and protection of human dignity and rights.
Again- thank you, O Lord for having us together as one neighborhood, one community and one family, please forgive our mistakes and shortcomings and help this interfaith network and this family to work together happily with love, loyalty and respect, Ameen ”
