Proclamation 7547--National Day of Prayer, 2002
April 26, 2002
By the President of the United States
of America
A Proclamation
Since our Nation's founding, Americans have turned to prayer for
inspiration, strength, and guidance. In times of trial, we ask God for
wisdom, courage, direction, and comfort. We offer thanks for the
countless blessings God has provided. And we thank God for sanctifying
every human life by creating each of us in His image. As we observe this
National Day of Prayer, we call upon the Almighty to continue to bless
America and her people.
Especially since September 11, millions of Americans have been led
to prayer. They have prayed for comfort in a time of grief, for
understanding in a time of anger, and for protection in a time of
uncertainty. We have all seen God's great faithfulness to our country.
America's enemies sought to weaken and destroy us through acts of
terror. None of us would ever wish on anyone what happened on September
11th. Yet tragedy and sorrow none of us would choose have brought forth
wisdom, courage, and generosity. In the face of terrorist attacks,
prayer provided Americans with hope and strength for the journey ahead.
God has blessed our Nation beyond measure. We give thanks for our
families and loved ones, for the abundance of our land and the fruits of
labor, for our inalienable rights and liberties, and for a great Nation
that leads the world in efforts to preserve those rights and liberties.
We give thanks for all those across the world who have joined with
America in the fight against terrorism. We give thanks for the men and
women of our military, who are fighting to defend our Nation and the
future of civilization.
[[Page 698]]
We continue to remember those who are suffering and face hardships.
We pray for peace throughout the world.
On this National Day of Prayer, I encourage Americans to remember
the words of St. Paul: ``Do not be anxious about anything, but in
everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your
requests to God.'' The Congress, by Public Law 100-307, as amended, has
called on our citizens to reaffirm the role of prayer in our society and
to honor the religious diversity our freedom permits by recognizing
annually a ``National Day of Prayer.''
Now, Therefore, I, George W. Bush, President of the United States
of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution
and laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim May 2, 2002, as a
National Day of Prayer. I ask Americans to pray for God's protection, to
express gratitude for our blessings, and to seek moral and spiritual
renewal. I urge all our citizens to join in observing this day with
appropriate programs, ceremonies, and activities.
In Witness Whereof, I have hereunto set my hand this twenty-sixth
day of April, in the year of our Lord two thousand two, and of the
Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and twenty-
sixth.
George W. Bush
