It is my honor to present the following proclamation: WHEREAS, the history of our Nation is indelibly marked with the role that prayer has played in the lives of individual Americans and indeed the United States as a whole; and WHEREAS, our greatest leaders have always turned to prayer in times of crisis; and WHEREAS, we acknowledge that prayer is a deeply personal experience and the way on which it finds expression depends on our individual dispositions as well as on our religious convictions; and WHEREAS, the virtues of prayer have a common bond with our hope and aspirations; our sorrows and fears; and deepest remorse and renewed resolve; our thanks and joyful praise; and most importantly our love all turned toward God; and WHEREAS, we join with our President, the Governors and the Mayors of our United States and invite all Salisburians to join us in earnest prayer for our Nation, our State, and our City. NOW, THEREFORE, I, Karen K. Alexander, Mayor of the City of Salisbury, North Carolina, DO HEREBY PROCLAIM Thursday, May 6, 2021 as NATIONAL DAY OF PRAYER in Salisbury, and encourage our fellow citizens of Salisbury to join in prayer, asking that God’s light may illuminate the minds and hearts of our people and our leaders, so that we may meet the challenges that lie before us with courage, wisdom and justice. This the 4th day May 2021.
