BY THE GOVERNOR OF THE STATE OF GEORGIA
A PROCLAMATION
WHEREAS:
DAY OF PRAYER IN GEORGIA
Since our nation's founding, Americans have turned to prayer for inspiration, strength and guidance in order to walk humbly with God. The national importance of prayer traces its roots to our Founding Fathers as they declared freedom of religion as one of our nation's greatest needs; and
WHEREAS:
A National Day of Prayer was first established by the Continental Congress in 1775, and the United States Congress in 1952 approved a joint Resolution setting aside a day each year to recognize the tradition of prayer in our nation; and
WHEREAS:
We are afforded the privilege of prayer and the joy of seeking guidance, strength, comfort and inspiration from Almighty God. Regardless of our individual beliefs and faith practices, we have an assurance that God hears our prayers and faithfully responds to our petitions; and
WHEREAS:
Georgians have been blessed, and we have faith that this is a direct result of the heartfelt prayers of citizens and families. We are proud to join with other states on May, 3, 2012, in a Day of Prayer; now
THEREFORE: I, NATHAN DEAL, Governor of the State of Georgia, do hereby proclaim May 3, 2012, as a DAY OF PRAYER in Georgia and encourage our citizens to pray for God's blessings on our nation and her people.
In witness thereof, I have hereunto set my hand and caused the Seal of the Executive Department to be affixed this 24th day of April in the year of our Lord two thousand twelve.
