The annual one was started in 1952 according to the website for the National Day of Prayer. Roosevelt was the first to call for one at a specific time and for a specific reason. Technology made that one possible on a large scale.

I had to look it up.

My father in law was a preacher. I am well versed in Preacher Stories. Haha.

Husband was researching something and came across a story about the Roosevelt prayer. He then had to look it up in multiple newspapers from the time. The stories are all very moving. They weren’t fake news. They were real stories by real citizens of small towns and big towns across the country.
