Former President John Dramani Mahama has promised to establish a yearly national day of prayer and thanksgiving, uniting all religious beliefs to give thanks and ask for divine direction for the nation.
Addressing religious leaders in Ho, Volta Region, Mr Mahama stressed the significance of expressing gratitude no matter the situation, referencing biblical teachings and global instances.
Attending national thanksgiving and prayer events in countries like the United States and Zambia inspired him to start a similar tradition in Ghana.
“Even though God expect to work hard to improve our circumstances, also recognize that spiritually you must intercede for God to open the gates for you and so in the United States, in Zambia and so many countries I have been to, I have been invited to a National thanksgiving and prayers dedication and so we intend to introduce a national day of prayer and thanksgiving,” he said.
Mr Mahama added that, “We will give thanks to God for all that God has done for us because he said count your blessings and if you appreciate what the Lord has done for you he will do even more for you”.
Mr Mahama said this collective prayer and thanksgiving will invoke God’s blessings and prosperity for the nation.
“So we will hold a national day of prayers for both the Christian and Muslim communities so that all of us together will continue to intercede for God to open the gates for Ghana so that our country will prosper,” Mr Mahama said.
