The 57th Annual National Day of Prayer will take place Thursday, -May 1, 2008. The theme for this year is "Prayer! America's Strength and Shield" and is based on the verse from Psalm 28:7 which states: "The Lord is my strength and shield; my heart trusts in Him and I am helped."

19. Jesus appears to all the apostles, leads them out to the Mount of Olives, and ascends to heaven (Luke 24:44-53, Acts 1:6-12, 1 Cor 15:7b). There must be a time gap in Luke 24:33-49 (probably between verses 43 and 44, as indicated here), because Jesus' command to stay in Jerusalem (Lk 24:49) must belong after the appearances in Galilee. So when all the apostles met together, Jesus said to them, "This is what I told you while I was still with you: Everything must be fulfilled that is written about me in the Law of Moses, the Prophets and the Psalms."

Then he opened their minds so they could understand the Scriptures. He told them, "This is what is written: The Christ will suffer and rise from the dead on the third day, and repentance and forgiveness of sins will be preached in his name to all nations, beginning at Jerusalem. You are witnesses of these things. I am going to send you what my Father has promised; but stay in the city until you have been clothed with power from on high."

"Will evildoers never learn—those who devour my people as men eat bread and who do not call on the LORD? There they are, overwhelmed with dread, for God is present in the company of the righteous." - The Bible: Psalm 14:4-5
