Governor Dr. Robert Bentley has proclaimed Friday, March 30, "Day of Prayer Over Students Across Alabama." At the request of First Priority of Alabama, Governor Bob Riley proclaimed the first statewide Day of Prayer Over Students in 2006. First Priority will once again be coordinating this prayer emphasis encouraged by the recent proclamation of Gov. Dr. Robert Bentley.
First Priority coordinates hundreds of local school Christian campus clubs. First Priority is encouraging Alabamians to pray for students as they are faced with challenges such as peer pressure to abuse drugs and alcohol, negative influences in the media, school violence and gang activities, fear and low self-esteem.
First Priority Greater Birmingham President Greg Davis says, "We are very encouraged by the Governor's proclamation. We want to ensure everyone understands that Day of Prayer is not an event; it's simply 24 hours of continuous prayer over students, teachers and school administrators across our state. There are numerous ways parents and concerned adults can get involved and demonstrate prayerful observance of this important day."
