A Presidential Proclamation
Donald Trump Declares National Day of Prayer this Sunday, March 15,
Amid Coronavirus Battle
President Donald Trump announced Friday on Twitter a National Day of Prayer on Sunday as the country combats the spread of the coronavirus.
The National Day of Prayer will take place on Sunday, March 15.
The president's declaration immediately sparked anger from anti-religious critics but drew praise from people of faith.
The president on Friday declared a State of Emergency to help mobilize the country to fight the virus.
"The next eight weeks are critical. We can learn and we will turn a corner on this virus," Trump said.
It is my great honor to declare Sunday, March 15th as a National Day of Prayer. We are a Country that, throughout our history, has looked to God for protection and strength in times like these. No matter where you may be, I encourage you to turn towards prayer in an act of faith. Together, we will easily PREVAIL!

A Message from CHPP
A Message from Capitol Hill Prayer Partners:
Calling our Members to a Day of Repentance, in alignment with the Presidential Proclamation
Dear Friends,
Tonight, we are richly blessed to learn that the President of the United States, Donald John Trump, has called the nation to a Day of Prayer in the face of the looming crisis caused by the outbreak of the coronavirus.
May our Lord bless our President richly, as he asks our nation to turn to Him, in prayer.
Tonight, in addition to the Presidential Decree, we ask that all of you please consider, too, the need to be in a state of REPENTANCE before our Lord, asking Him to show us His mercy in this time of need.
We base our supplication upon the Word in Scripture, 2 Chronicles 7:14. It is written:
" . . . if My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land."
Here, then, in addition we offer our own prayer of repentance, below:
Lord, we humbly repent before you. Have mercy on us. Please heal and cleanse us and our land.
Lord, we confess that we have not placed You first in our lives. We have created other idols, including ourselves. We repent.
Lord, we confess that we have killed the innocent, in the womb and those in nursing homes through euthanasia instead of calling upon Your miracles for Life. We repent.
Lord, we confess that we have sanctified sexual perversions, approving them as a lifestyle instead of following Your Word. We repent.
Lord, we confess that we have relied on our own thinking and ways of the world instead of searching out and following Your Destiny for this nation, including being a Light for Your Gospel to reach others worldwide.
Lord, we confess that we have failed to follow Your solution in Your scriptures to heal a nation, including personal and corporate repentance.
Lord we ask you to save us. We ask for your help. We repent that we have been asleep and allowed such corruption because we have not been placing You first as You commanded. Lord we thank you for our President and his stand for you. We ask that you would deliver him and deliver us from those who are intent on removing You from our nation.
Lord, in Jesus' Name, help us honor not just a Day of Prayer but also a National Day of Repentance to uproot these sins. Lord forgive us and restore the Godly roots that You planted in this precious nation.
Amen.

About CHPP
About Capitol Hill Prayer Partners
Our Mission Statement
Capitol Hill Prayer Partners (CHPP) is a ministry which is positioned on Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C., helping members of the Body of Christ to "pray for those in authority over us" in our federal government. Our primary purpose is to offer intercession on site for the members of Congress and their staffs each day that the Senate and the House of Representatives are in session; and our chief prayer focus is that "God's will be done in earth, as it is in heaven." [Matthew 6:10].
Because Jesus Christ has shed His blood for all, we, too, pray for ALL, in a nonpartisan manner. Also, because the scriptures indicate that "the effectual, fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much" (James 4:17), we are confident that fervent prayer, offered in the halls of the highest chambers of government in our land, can avail much for America. Capitol Hill Prayer Partners welcomes those who feel called to join us, engaging in this strategic work of intercession for our nation: "For there is no power but of God; the powers that be are ordained of God." [Romans 13:1]
