WASHINGTON (BP)--As the honorary chairman of this year's National Day of Prayer, Henry Blackaby will address hundreds of government officials and other dignitaries on Thursday, May 4.

Not surprisingly, the noted Southern Baptist discipleship leader wants Christians to pray about his upcoming message at the Cannon Office Building, since he considers this year's observance one of the most crucial in the 54-year history of the National Day of Prayer.

Ominous threats from terrorists and the moral decay of American society are two factors making prayer vital to the nation's future, Blackaby said.

"I think it will be an astounding gathering that will have far-reaching implications. That's why I think the message that will be brought will be absolutely crucial," said Blackaby, whose message will reflect the day's theme of "America, Honor God."
