The National Day of Prayer and the “discomfort of uncertainty”

Request your copy of Wrestling with God today!Article DescriptionThe 2026 National Day of Prayer is today. Millions of Christians around the US will pray for our nation personally and in gatherings with other believers. To a skeptic, this must seem an unprovable assertion, a self-fulfilling prophecy akin to a horoscope. Such skeptics are right: we cannot prove to them, or even to ourselves, that time spent in prayer today or any other day is warranted, that the God to whom we pray is the God we believe him to be. However, today we discuss how our inability to prove our faith through reason invites us to focus less on what we “too much discuss” and “too much explain,” as T. S. Eliot noted, and more on the God who should be the object of our worship and service.About Denison Forum and The Daily ArticleToday's Daily Article was written by Dr. Jim Denison and narrated by Chris Elkins.
