The theme for 2015 is “Lord, Hear Our Cry,” emphasizing the need for individuals, corporately and individually, to place their faith in the unfailing character of their Creator, who is sovereign over all governments, authorities, and men. Scripture for this year is I Kings 8:28: “Hear the cry and the prayer that your servant is praying in your presence this day.”
“Pray that as a nation we would return to God. As we call on God, let us do so by genuine faith, believing that He hears our prayers. God can heal this great land, for which our forefathers fought and died. We need spiritual renewal, we need a revival in America, and we need each and every one to pray. Lord, Hear Our Cry!” said the Rev. Franklin Graham, son of evangelist Billy Graham, said in a statement on the National Day of Prayer Task Force, based in Colorado Springs.
