POUR OUT TO THE GOD OF HOPE AND BE FILLED
Romans 15:13

The National Day of Prayer is an annual observance held on the first Thursday of May, inviting people to pray for the nation. It was created in 1952 by a joint resolution of the United States Congress, and signed into law by President Harry S. Truman. Communities across the nation gather together to pray for education, media, business, families, church, government, and military.

Uvalde’s National Day of Prayer Gathering will be held May 1st at 6:00 PM at the Civic Center.

2025 National Prayer For America

God of hope, fill us with all joy and peace
in believing, so that we will abound in
hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.

You have caused us to be born again to
a living hope through the resurrection of
Jesus Christ from the dead; therefore,
we hope in what we do not see.
This world is not our home or reality,
but the Lord is our Rock,
our Truth, our certainty.

God of hope, we pour out our praise
and are filled with Your powerful presence.

We pour out repentance of sin and are filled
with forgiveness and righteousness.

We pour out pain from the attacks of the
enemy—anxiousness, fear, anger—and You
fill us with courage, assurance, and love.

We pour out our needs, the desires of our
hearts, and are filled with Your Kingdom
provision and purpose.

We pour out our hearts for our nation, for
the people and places, relationships and
responsibilities the Lord has established: the
Church, Family, Education, Business,
Military, Arts, Entertainment, Media, and
Government. May all who live, serve, and
steward in these be filled with Your purpose,
wisdom, strength, and truth.

Let Your lovingkindness, O LORD, be upon
us, as we have hoped in You.

In abounding hope, anchored by our hope
in the name of Jesus, we pray. Amen!
