The Declaration of Independence

There is no such thing [as morality] without a supposition of a God. There is no right or wrong in the universe without the supposition of a moral government and an intellectual and moral governor.
 ~John Adams

"The religion which has introduced civil liberty is the religion of Christ and His apostles...to this we owe our free constitutions of government." ~ Noah Webster

The Presidents of the United States of America... http://www.whitehouse.gov/history/presidents/alphabetical.html

I believe with all my heart that standing up for America means standing up for the God who has so blessed our land. We need God’s help to guide our nation through stormy seas. But we can’t expect Him to protect America in a crisis if we just leave Him over on the shelf in our day-to-day living. 
~Ronald Reagan, November 16, 1982

The National Day of Prayer

...is a legally established day to come together on public property to pray for our nation and leaders. The constitutional rights of the National Day of Prayer observance is founded on the freedom of speech and freedom of religion; enabling all  Americans the right to celebrate. First proclaimed in 1775 by the Continental Congress, the government continued the tradition of declaring days of prayer and fasting until 1783. These declarations were revived during troubled times.

President Abraham Lincoln called the nation to a day of prayer and humiliation in 1863 to acknowledge national sins. (Lincoln's original 1863 Thanksgiving Proclamation came - spiritually speaking - at a pivotal point in his life. During the first week of July of that year, the Battle of Gettysburg occurred, resulting in the loss of some 60,000 American lives. Four months later in November, Lincoln delivered his famous "Gettysburg Address." It was while Lincoln was walking among the thousands of graves there at Gettysburg that he committed his life to Christ. As he explained to a friend: When I left Springfield [to assume the Presidency] I asked the people to pray for me. I was not a Christian. When I buried my son, the severest trial of my life, I was not a Christian. But when I went to Gettysburg and saw the graves of thousands of our soldiers, I then and there consecrated myself to Christ.)

In 1952 President Harry S. Truman signed Public Law 324 which required the President to “set aside an appropriate day of each year, other than Sunday, as a National Day of Prayer.

Inconsistent date setting made organizing a national effort to celebrate the day very difficult. Vonette Bright, founder of the National Day of Prayer Task Force, spearheaded an effort to establish a fixed annual day for national prayer. With the support of Senator Strom Thurmond, Congressman Tony Hall of Ohio and other Congressmen, a bill passed both houses of Congress establishing a fixed national day of prayer.

No man can study the movement of modern civilization from an impartial standpoint and not realize that Christianity and the spread of Christianity are the basis of hope of modern civilization in the growth of popular self-government. The spirit of Christianity is pure democracy. It is equality of man before God—the equality of man before the law, which is, as I understand it, the most God-like manifestation that man has been able to make.
~ William Howard Taft, in an address to a missionary gathering in 1908

Cleanse my soul O Lord, I beseech thee, from whatever is offensive to thee, and hurtful to me, and give me what is convenient for me. Watch over me this night, and give me comfortable and sweet sleep to fit me for the service of the day following. Let my soul watch for the coming of the Lord Jesus; let my bed put me in mind of my grave, and my rising from there of my last resurrection; O heavenly Father, so frame this heart of mine, that I may ever delight to live according to thy will and command, in holiness and righteousness before thee all the days of my life.
~George Washington, Wednesday Evening Prayer from his daily prayer journal

When a Christian people feel themselves to be overtaken by a great public calamity, it becomes them to humble themselves under the dispensation of Divine Providence, to recognize His righteous government over the children of men, to acknowledge His goodness in time past, as well as their own unworthiness, and to supplicate His merciful protection for the future.
~ John Tyler, following the death of William Henry Harrison, April 13, 1841
