63RD CONSECUTIVE ANNUAL OBSERVANCE OF THE NATIONAL
DAY OF PRAYER; AND PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
WHEREAS, public prayer and national days of prayer have a long and significant
history in American tradition dating back to the first call to prayer in 1775 when the
Continental Congress asked the colonies to pray for wisdom in forming a nation; and
WHEREAS, in 1952 the Congress of the United States by a joint resolution
enacted legislation setting aside an annual day of prayer for the nation, and in 1988 this
law was amended permanently setting the day as the first Thursday of every May; and
WHEREAS, the National Day of Prayer enables us to recall and teach the way in
which our forefathers sought the wisdom of God when faced with critical decisions, thus
reaffirming the spiritual principles upon which this nation was founded; and
WHEREAS, in these trying times, when the world is so unsettled and when many
of our brave citizens and members of the military are far from home, making great
sacrifices and defending freedom for those abroad and those here at home, we humbly
ask God for their protection and pray for peace throughout the world; and
WHEREAS, this year is the 63rd anniversary of the consecutive annual
observance of the National Day of Prayer, and its theme being "One Voice, United in
Prayer", 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 humanity; and
WHEREAS, on this day Americans across our nation and state will join in united
prayer to acknowledge our dependence on God, to give Him thanks for blessings
received, to request healing for wounds endured, and to seek His guidance for our
leaders and His grace and protection upon us as a people and a nation;
NOW, THEREFORE, I Connie White, in conjunction with the Town Council of
the Town of Trophy Club, Texas by the Power vested in me as Mayor of Trophy Club,
hereby proclaim Thursday, May 1, 2014, as a DAY OF PRAYER in Trophy Club to
