2008 NDP Theme poster
National Day of Prayer for Virginia

The Theme for 2008 is "PRAYER: America's Strength and Shield" and the Scripture is "The Lord is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in Him and I am helped." Psalm 28:7

We all long to see revival and spiritual awakening come to our nation - the kind that changes lives, behaviors, ethics, cultural norms, and even the structures of society. In fact, we desperately need it. But with all our prayers, repentance, and evangelistic efforts over the past decades, our nation seems to be getting further and further from God’s standards. The darkness around us seems to be getting darker and darker.

The 2008 Prayer for our Nation 

Dr. Ravi Zacharias, 2008 Honorary Chairman prays:

Holy Father, in a world where so many are hungry, You have given us food in abundance;

In a world where so many are hurting, You offer to bind up our wounds;

In a world where so many are lonely, You offer friendship to every heart;

In a world longing for peace, You offer hope.

Yet, we are so stubborn and resistant. Have mercy upon us, Lord.

Our nation is at a crossroads this year;  we look to you to be our strength and shield.

Please give us the guidance to elect one who will honor you and to respond to the wisdom from above

so that our hope may be renewed and our blessings be treasured. Amen
