NATIONAL DAY OF PRAYER
A Nation United in Prayer – May 1st
By Del Albright
Every year, on the first Thursday of May, Americans from all walks of life take a moment to pause, reflect, and pray. This National Day of Prayer reminds me of the foundational values that built this country—faith, family, freedom, patriotism, and peace.
It’s more than a tradition. It’s a national reminder that no matter what challenges we face, we are stronger when we seek clarity, hope, and healing together.
As someone who has walked the path of military service, fought in combat, led outdoor adventures across this great land, and advocated for the responsible use of our public lands, I can tell you — the soul of this nation lies in the hearts of those who believe in something greater than themselves.
On this day, I pray for:
-
Our Nation — to find unity in purpose, strength in diversity, and resolve in hard times.
-
Our Families — to thrive in love, guided by values that last generations.
-
Our Health — to continue the journey of physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being.
-
Our Land — that we continue to be good stewards of the beauty we’ve been blessed with.
-
Our Peace — that we learn to listen, forgive, and support one another in meaningful ways.
Whether you're sitting quietly in the woods, driving a backroad trail with your family, or standing beside your neighbor at a community gathering — take a moment this May 1st. Say a prayer. Share a thought. Be still. And remember, we're all in this together.
Let’s keep the faith, cherish our freedoms, and stand tall for what we believe in.
God bless America.
