Q&A: Joni Eareckson Tada on Prayer
Each year on the first Thursday in May, citizens of the United States celebrate their freedom to gather, worship and pray. Millions will answer the call to prayer on May 5, the 60th annual National Day of Prayer.
This year’s theme, “A Mighty Fortress Is Our God,” is based on Psalm 91:2: “I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.”
Author and international advocate for people with disabilities, Joni Eareckson Tada is serving as the 2011 Honorary Chairman and will give the keynote address at the national observance in Washington, D.C., to be held at the Cannon House Office Building.
A few weeks ago, Joni spoke with us by phone about the event and about the role of prayer in her own life.
