Answer 1

An earthly "national" day of prayer ignores the fact that a Christian's first allegiance is a heavenly government, God's Messianic Kingdom by Christ Jesus.

Jehovah's Witnesses believe that true Christians are "no part of this world". Thus, Witnesses pursue NEUTRALITY in political, nationalistic, and social controversy. The bible quite plainly teaches that Jesus himself refused to become involved in the secular controversies of his day, but instead devoted himself to preaching the "good news of the Kingdom".

The benefits of that Kingdom are permanent, while every human work can only benefit temporarily.

(John 17:14-16) The world has hated [the followers of Christ], because they are no part of the world, just as I am no part of the world. ...They are no part of the world, just as I [Jesus] am no part of the world.

(James 4:4) Adulteresses, do you not know that the friendship with the world is enmity with God? Whoever, therefore, wants to be a friend of the world is constituting himself an enemy of God.

(John 12:7,8,48-50) . . .Jesus said: “...You have the poor always with you, but me you will not have always. ...The word that I have spoken is what will judge [a person] in the last day; because I have not spoken out of my own impulse, but the Father himself who sent me has given me a commandment as to what to tell and what to speak. Also, I know that his commandment means everlasting life.

Answer 2

Better still, honor a National Day of Actually Doing Something. Instead of parroting magic words, you could go down to your local blood bank and donate blood.

Any God worthy of respect wants you to use the abilities He has given you to act on the world instead of just kicking back and thinking that He is going to take care of you.

It is insulting to God to treat Him as the Great Welfare Department in the Sky.

Hi Goldie. My prayer is, "Our Father, hallowed be thy name and thy kingdom come."
I don't need a national day, just a personal day between my father and I, and as many of them as I can. :-)
