Theme for this year’s Christian-oriented National Day of Prayer is "Prayer ... America’s Hope.” It is based on the verse from Psalm 33:22, "May Your unfailing love rest upon us, O Lord, even as we put our hope in You.” The day is coordinated by the National Day of Prayer Task Force, headed by Shirley Dobson, wife of Focus on the Family founder James Dobson.
