 Today, it's an honor to join you and present a proclamation for the National Day of Prayer. Today is our nation and city and world are being challenged by the coronavirus. This day of prayer is needed more than ever. Please remember in your prayers, the first responders, the clinic and hospital staff that care for those who are sick. Also remember the government leaders who search for the best options to protect the residents in each community. We likewise remember and pray for the souls that we have lost during the pandemic. The proclamation reads from the office of the mayor of the city of Sheboygan. In prayer, let us ask God's light may illuminate the minds and hearts of our people, our leaders, so that we may meet the challenges that lie before us with courage, wisdom and justice. In prayer, let us recall the confidence, the promise of old, that if we humble ourselves before God and pray and seek His face, He will surely hear and forgive and heal and bless our land. By joint resolution of Congress, approved in April 17th of 1952, the recognition of a particular day set aside each year as the National Day of Prayer has become a cherished national tradition. Since that time, every president has proclaimed an annual National Day of Prayer resuming a tradition that was begun in the Continental Congress. Now therefore, I, Mike Van der Steen, as mayor of the city of Sheboygan, do hereby proclaim Thursday, May 7th of 2020 as a National Day of Prayer in Sheboygan and I call upon all of our citizens to join me in prayer that day and I ask them to gather at noon in their homes with their families to give thanks for every good thing that God has done for us and seek His guidance and strength and in the conduct of our lives in the future. Thank you very much and may God bless all of you and God bless the city of Sheboygan.
