WHEREAS, from our nation's humble beginnings, public prayer and national days of
prayer have played a vital role in the life and history of the United States 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 the call to prayer has continued throughout our history; and
WHEREAS, these times of national supplication were made official in 1952 when
President Harry Truman signed a joint resolution of the U.S. Congress which 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, throughout our history as a Nation, in times of crisis and in times of calm,
Americans have turned to prayer in the tradition of our forefathers who sought the wisdom of
God when faced with critical decisions, thus reaffirming the spiritual principles upon which
this Nation was founded; and
WHEREAS, the National Day of Prayer belongs to all Americans and is a day that
transcends differences, bringing together citizens from all backgrounds and walks of life to
honor God, to pray for our Nation, and to give Him thanks for the many liberties and blessings
we have received, among them the freedom to gather, worship and pray; and
WHEREAS, this year is the 70th Anniversary of the consecutive annual observance of
the National Day of Prayer, and its theme is: "LORD pour out Your LOVE, LIFE, and
LIBERTY", praying and proclaiming a promise of God in the theme verse, 2 Corinthians 3:17,
"Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty"; and
WHEREAS, on this National Day of Prayer we come together as leaders and citizens
in unity as one Nation under God to seek His divine wisdom, direction, protection, and
strength to meet the challenges that we face both present and future, and to offer gratitude
for the many blessings He has bestowed upon our communities, state, and nation.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, Alicia L. Fleury, in conjunction with the Trophy Club Town
Council hereby proclaim Thursday, May 6, 2021, as:
"A DAY OF PRAYER in Trophy Club"
to coincide with the NATIONAL DAY OF PRAYER.
PASSED AND APPROVED on this 27 day of April 2029) the Trophy Club Town
