As millions across America unite in observance of the historic National Day of Prayer — a nationally recognized day established by Congress and signed into law to encourage Americans to turn to God in prayer for the nation — renowned global prayer strategist, media personality, and North Texas National Day of Prayer Regional Coordinator, Dr. Shirley K. Clark, will host two powerful National Day of Prayer gatherings on Thursday, May 7, 2026.
The National Day of Prayer has served for generations as a sacred call for unity, repentance, healing, and spiritual awakening across America, bringing together churches, civic leaders, educators, families, and communities to seek divine wisdom and guidance for the nation. This year’s North Texas observance will feature both a virtual and an in-person gathering designed to mobilize prayer across the Seven Mountains of Influence and inspire hope, healing, and transformation locally, nationally, and globally.
The theme this year, “Glorify God Among the Nations – Seeking Him in All Generations,” will serve as the foundation for both events, as prayer leaders unite to pray over the Seven Mountains of Influence and key areas that impact families, communities, and nations around the world.
The events are free and open to the public and will be streamed live on major social media platforms.
