Today is National Day of Prayer

Howdy! Well, today is National Day of Prayer and I feel a little conflicted on it. Yes, it is a good thing to have a National Day of Prayer but shouldn't every day, ideally, be a day of prayer? My other concern is what we tend to pray for as American's. Setting those concerns aside, here is today's prayer, written by Dr. Ravi Zacharias:

"Holy Father, in a world where so many are hungry, You have given us food in abundance; In a world where so many are hurting, You offer to bind up our wounds; In a world where so many are lonely, You offer friendship to every heart; In a world longing for peace, You offer hope. Yet, we are so stubborn and resistant. Have mercy upon us, Lord. Our nation is at a crossroads this year; we look to you to be our strength and shield. Please give us the guidance to elect one who will honor you and to respond to the wisdom from above so that our hope may be renewed and our blessings be treasured. In God's holy name we pray."
Amen.
