[Statement] Dr. James Dobson Calls on Americans to Observe the National Day of Prayer

May. 4, 2017

WASHINGTON—Dr. James Dobson issues the following statement regarding the National Day of Prayer:

“The mission behind the National Day of Prayer, ‘to mobilize prayer in America and to encourage personal repentance and righteousness in the culture,’ is more needed than ever. My wife, Shirley, chaired the National Day of Prayer Task Force for 25 years, so I’ve seen firsthand what can happen when we invite the presence and power of God into our lives, our families, our schools, and our institutions.

“But it all begins with prayer.

“So please join with Shirley and me in carving out a day of concentrated prayer for our country, for our elected officials, and for our personal walk with God.”
