The pas- tors from many of the churches took part in the service. The theme for 2019 was "Love One Another," based off of John 13:24, "Love on another just as I have loved you." They asked people to commit to pray for the country and its leaders. The four priorities this year are 1) Ask God to bless the United States of America; 2) Pray for America to love one anoth- er, beginning among Christ's followers; 3) Pray for the center of influence in America; 4) Ask God for the Nation- al Day of Prayer to become a catalyt- ic spiritual movement across America.
