Zanesville, OH–Many around our community took part in a National Day of Prayer.

The annual observance brings together people of all faiths to pray for our nation.

“National Day of Prayer is observed one day a year, but we want to encourage everyone to pray every day. This is our connectivity to God himself,” Adam King, youth pastor at New Hope Full Gospel Church said.

A local service took place at new hope full gospel church where there were prayers and song. There was also a focus on getting youth more involved.

“Because I think eventually like everything else, if we don’t continue to serve our posterity in an impactful and effective way. Then whatever the cause is, it dies out. We lose that. So, we know in Psalms 78:4, that it actually says we’re actually deified and obligated to serve our posterity. It actually says we will teach the next generation about the glorious deeds of the lord,” King said.

The National Day of Prayer was created in 1952 by a joint resolution of congress and signed into law by President Truman.
