A PROCLAMATION OF THE TOWN COUNCIL OF THE TOWN OF TROPHY
CLUB, TEXAS, TO RECOGNIZE MAY 7, 2015 AS THE DAY OF PRAYER IN
TROPHY CLUB; RECOGNIZING THAT 2015 IS THE 64th CONSECUTIVE
ANNUAL OBSERVANCE OF THE NATIONAL DAY OF PRAYER; AND
PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
WHEREAS, the 64th observance of the National Day of Prayer will be held on
Thursday, May 7, 2015, with the theme "Lord, Hear Our Cry" as inspired by 1 Kings 8:28
which says, "Hear the cry and the prayer that your servant is praying in your presence this
day"; and
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 and challenging 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, on this day leaders and citizens 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 grace, guidance, strength
and protection upon us as a people and a nation.
NOW, THEREFORE, I Nick Sanders, 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 7, 2015, as a DAY OF PRAYER in Trophy Club to coincide with the

date of passage, in accordance with law; and it is so proclaimed.
