LIVE: National Day of Prayer | CBN News

This year's theme for the 73rd National Day of Prayer is "Lift up the Word - Light Up the World" from the biblical passage in 2 Samuel chapter 22. It reads in part: "O Lord, you are my lamp. The Lord Lights up My Darkness." It is a message that organizers say is needed now more than ever.

"It seemed all we were talking about was darkness," Kathy Branzell, President of the National Day of Prayer Task Force told CBN's Faith Nation. "'Oh, America's getting darker, our schools are getting darker, my neighborhood's getting darker.'"

Branzell explained, "While that might feel true, the truth is darkness is the absence of light. This year by lifting up the Word, we know His Word in prayer won't return void and we're going to light up this world."
