Today Marks 63rd Annual National Day of Prayer; DC Lawmakers Urge Americans to Pray for Nation

Today (May 1, 2014) marks the 63rd annual National Day of Prayer. This year's theme is "One Voice, United in Prayer," the CBN (Christian Broadcast Network) website reports.

An estimated 40,000 events nationwide will mark the day, including many at local, state, and national government buildings.

In Washington, D.C., lawmakers will observe the National Day of Prayer on Capitol Hill, where congressmen -- like Rep. James Lankford of Oklahoma -- are urging Americans to pray for the nation.

"There is still a God in heaven who hears our prayer" and "cares about our lives," Lankford said.
