| National Day of Prayer 2008
The 57th Annual National Day of Prayer took place on Thursday, May 1, 2008. The theme for this year was "Prayer! America's Strength and Shield" and was based on the verse from Psalm 28:7 which states: "The Lord is my strength and shield; my heart trusts in Him and I am helped." |
| "Somebody's Praying"
Somebody's prayin', I can feel it Somebody's prayin', for me Mighty hands are guiding me To protect me from what I can't see Lord I believe, Lord I believe Somebody's prayin' for me Angels are watchin', I can feel it Angels are watchin' over me. There's many miles ahead 'till I get home Still, I'm safely kept before your throne. Lord, I believe. Lord, I believe Angels are watchin' over me. Well, I've walked the barren wilderness Where my pillow was a stone And I've been through the darkest caverns Where no light has ever shown Still, I went on 'cause there was someone Who was down on their knees And Lord, I thank you for those people Prayin' all this time for me. Somebody's prayin', I can feel it Somebody's prayin' for me Mighty hands are guiding me To protect me from what I can't see Lord I believe, Lord I believe Somebody's prayin' for me Somebody's prayin' for me. "Somebody's Praying" Lyrics/Music: JOHN G. ELLIOT "This beautiful version preformed by:" ~Ricky Skaggs~ |

As a man of prayer, Ricky Skaggs joined with millions in praying for America on May 1. "We are praying that a drawing toward Christ in relationship would take place. Prayer always precedes revival...no revival ever started without prayer. Prayer shows a dependency upon God." - Ricky Skaggs |
| National Day of Prayer
May 1, 2008 10:00 a.m. - 1:00 p.m Westwego Gym 1200 Avenue D Westwego If there has ever been a time that our land has needed to be restored, it is now. We lifted up our nation, its leaders and families to God in prayer. This special day was set aside for the entire nation to pray and was an awesome opportunity to teach our children about the power of prayer. It was also a great time to teach or review just how we became "One Nation Under God" in your history lessons. The children were the ones who lead the prayers, recited patriotic quotes and sang songs that honor God and our nation. The day ended with some fun outdoor activities and lunch. Activities Included: Pledge of Allegiance Pledge to the Bible Opening Prayer Reciting the Preamble to the Constitution Patriotic Quotes Songs Prayer for our Nation, Leaders and Families Closing Prayer Craft Lunch and Games |
