National Day of Prayer - 2026 National Prayer

Almighty God, King of Glory, we confess our sins and repent of our pride that sought our own glory and comfort, allowing evil to take root instead of Your fruit in our hearts, homes, culture, and country. Please forgive us.

Now, with this declaration of rededication, we humble ourselves, pray, and seek Your face, turning from our wicked ways, that You would heal our lives and our land. Please purify and renew our hearts with holy attributes, affections, attitudes, and actions—to love You with all our heart, soul, mind, and strength. We give You glory as we repent and rededicate our lives and our nation to You.

For 250 years You have guarded and guided America in wisdom, grace, mercy, and love. We praise and thank You for our Founding Fathers, for all who sought You in fervent prayer throughout history and answered Your call to defend justice and freedom; to protect and serve, preach and teach, innovate, communicate, learn, work, worship, and establish our laws. May Your Kingdom come, and Your will be done in our lives, our families, the Church, Education, Business, Military, Government, Arts, Entertainment and Media as it is in heaven. We prayerfully commit to "Glorify God Among the Nations, Seeking Him in All Generations."

In Jesus' name, Amen!

National Day of Prayer - Pray for Arts, Entertainment & Media

Glorify God Among the Nations, Seeking Him in All Generations. Creator God of all that exists and the Giver of all gifts, we dedicate our gifts and talents back to You in Arts, Entertainment, and Media seeking to express our awe and Your glory. Lord God, Creator of heaven and earth, You have given us abounding beauty and unfathomable glory that surrounds and fills the universe. Open our eyes and hearts to You in worship and praise as we see and experience all that You have given us and the gifts to learn more, explore, express our awe, and celebrate Your goodness as we reflect and magnify You through the arts, entertainment, and media. Cleanse our screens, stages, and sports from anything that does not glorify You and draws people away from You. Please pour out Your love and write Your Word on the hearts of the hurting who need healing. Bring forth truth in writing, posting, and messaging in all media. Be glorified in every talent, ability, and gift You have given, that we may sing, dance, draw, write, paint, sculpt, play sports, act, invent, and create in reflection and in dedication to You, the God who created us and all that exists for Your glory.

National Day of Prayer - Pray for Government

Glorify God Among the Nations, Seeking Him in All Generations. Lord of heaven and earth, we dedicate our government and pray that all who serve will seek Your authority, purposes, and glory. God of every generation and nation, we seek Your face as we pray for our government. May every person who serves in government surrender his or her life, and seek Your will in the laws and leadership of our land. We pray that You would be glorified in each branch; Executive, Legislative, and Judicial, that every person would be a holy branch committed and abiding in You, The Vine. Please compel them to work in godliness, according to Your will and Word, for Your glory and not their own benefit, knowing that You are the rewarder of obedience. Please saturate them in Your wisdom, knowledge, and understanding. Prompt them to seek You as they steer and steward this great nation where You have lavishly shed Your grace and blessings for 250 years. To You alone be the glory, praise, and honor.

He will receive blessing from the Lord and righteousness from the God of his salvation. Such is the generation of those who seek him, who seek the face of the God of Jacob."

Psalm 111:6-9: "He has shown his people the power of his works, in giving them the inheritance of the nations. The works of his hands are faithful and just; all his precepts are trustworthy; they are established forever and ever, to be performed with faithfulness and uprightness. He sent redemption to his people; he has commanded his covenant forever. Holy and awesome is his name!"

Psalm 33:10-12: "The Lord brings the counsel of the nations to nothing; he frustrates the plans of the peoples. The counsel of the Lord stands forever, the plans of his heart to all generations. Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord, the people whom he has chosen as his heritage!"

Almighty God, Author of our days and every opportunity, we seek Your plans and purposes daily in every decision in our workplace, knowing all we do is unto You. Every job has Kingdom purpose; a place to serve You, to be salt and light and use our God-given abilities to glorify You even if we don't see the results right away or every day. Keep us from seeking prideful or personal fame, or the love of fortune that distracts from Your plans and steals Your glory. You are the rewarder of obedience, excellence, and diligence. Guide us to be spiritually successful, to carry our load, making You known in word and deed as we work to glorify You and support our families.

Glorify God Among the Nations, Seeking Him in All Generations. Heavenly Father, we dedicate our families to You, loving and supporting one another as You have loved us. Everlasting Father, thank You for bringing us into Your family, that the blood and love of Jesus have given us access to the Father so we can be called children of God. Thank you for establishing our families and creating us for relationships. We pray for the covenant of marriage as You ordained it from the beginning. Draw every family to seek you in their decisions, priorities, and activities. You establish where we live, work, serve, and worship. We pray every generation would pray, study Your Word, seek You, and glorify You together as Your family.
