WASHINGTON — President Reagan and both houses of Congress have proclaimed Thursday as a National Day of Prayer, with many churches and communities setting special observances.
A task force on the day urges Americans to focus on acknowledging dependence on God, renewing personal and corporate moral values and seeking God’s guidance for the nation’s leaders.
Americans also were urged to pledge themselves to the restoration of marriage and family commitments and to offer thanks for the many blessings the country has received through the years.
