SUMMARY:2026 National Day of Prayer
DESCRIPTION:This year’s National Day of Prayer theme is: Glorify God among the Nations– Seeking Him in all generations. \n\n“Every year we pray and seek the Lord for the National Day of Prayer theme that will guide our year and unite the tens of thousands of prayer gatherings we host from coast to coast. This year on May 7\, 2026\, we will unite and pray as our new 2026 theme calls us to\, “Glorify God Among the Nations\, Seeking Him in All Generations.” \nLast year our theme was inspired by a prayer that the apostle Paul prayed over the believers in Rome. \nIn 2026\, our theme is inspired by a passionate prayer of Thanksgiving\, prayed by King David in 1 Chronicles 16 after bringing the Ark of the Covenant to Jerusalem. This chapter records Israel celebrating the return of the Ark after being separated for 70 years earlier. While God was always watching over Israel and just a prayer away from them and King David\, the Ark of the Covenant represented the presence of God having been constructed at the command of God and carried by the Levites with Moses as they wandered and waited to enter the Promised Land and eventually stolen from the tabernacle in Shiloh at their defeat in the battle in Ebenezer. I’ll pause here in its history for now. Thankfully\, we have an entire year to unpack 365 days or more of all the prayers and prompts we can glean from this theme. \nWe are excited and delighted to share the 2026 National Day of Prayer theme with you\, and ask that you commit to pray with us each week as God blesses us as we seek Him in Scripture and fervent prayer and glorifying Him through the 2026 National Day of Prayer theme that prompts us to\, “Glorify God Among the Nations\, Seeking Him in All Generations.” \n–Kathy Branzell\, NDP Task Force President \n
