Thursday May 6 is designated as the National Day of Prayer for this year. Annually, the first Thursday in May is set aside as a national observance that was first signed into law by President Harry S. Truman in 1952. It encourages people of all faiths to dedicate themselves to prayer for our nation. This blog post is devoted to including children in this prayer observance.
The theme for this year’s prayer is “Lord pour out Your love, life and liberty”, based on 2 Corinthians 3:17 “Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.” To include children in this day, there are available online many different activities such as games and a prayer puzzle as well as free prayer books for children and many other downloadable and printable information and activities. There is also information on teaching children to pray. Please check out the links below for teaching tools and activities so that your children can learn the importance of prayer and participate in a fun and meaningful way.
