(USA)–And, on Thursday, May 2nd, thousands of Americans will gather at courthouses, businesses, around school flagpoles, in places of worship and public arenas for the National Day of Prayer. In light of recent international events, the emphasis will be prayer for the country’s leaders. President George W. Bush is expected to issue a special proclamation as all 50 governors join in the observance. This is also a time when the hope of Christ can be clearly seen.
