John,

Today is our 2021 National Day of Prayer. Since 1952, Americans have joined together on the first Thursday in May in prayer and meditation for our nation.

This special day of reflection is now 70 YEARS STRONG!

I love the theme the National Day of Prayer Task Force chose this year: “LORD Pour Out Your LOVE, LIFE, and LIBERTY.” Here is this year’s theme verse:

“Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.”

- 2 Corinthians 3:17

Today, I have thanked God for the blessings in my life – my wonderful husband, children, and grandchildren, the amazing life we’ve lived in western Minnesota, and for being born and having the opportunity to step up and lead in the greatest country in the world.

Please pray for our nation and our leaders today. We face unprecedented challenges and we’re at a pivotal moment in our nation’s history.

We must do ALL we can to defend our religious freedom and faith-based traditions, which are under assault from the emboldened left in our country.

May the Lord’s light guide and comfort you, and guide our nation to better days ahead.

- Michelle
