Mahama Pledges National Day of Prayer and Thanksgiving

Former President John Dramani Mahama has announced plans to establish an annual national day of prayer and thanksgiving in Ghana. This initiative aims to unite all religious communities in the country to express gratitude and seek divine guidance. Speaking during an engagement with religious leaders in Ho, Volta Region, Mahama highlighted the significance of thanksgiving in both personal and national contexts, drawing inspiration from similar practices in countries like the United States and Zambia.

Mahama stated that while hard work is essential, spiritual intercession is also crucial for progress. He believes that a collective day of prayer will invoke God’s blessings and prosperity for Ghana. This day would involve both Christian and Muslim communities, fostering a sense of unity and shared purpose.

Religious leaders at the event praised Mahama’s peaceful campaign and expressed their support, praying for a peaceful election and encouraging him to continue trusting in God.
