From wikipedia:

The National Day of Prayer (36 U.S.C. § 119) is an annual day of observance held on the first Thursday of May, designated by the United States Congress, when people are asked “to turn to God in prayer and meditation”. Each year, the president signs a proclamation, encouraging all Americans to pray on this day.The modern law formalizing its annual observance was enacted in 1952, although it has historical origins to a mandate by George Washington, the first president of the United States.

The Pima County Board of Supervisors on Tuesday passed a resolution which proclaimed May 3, 2012 as National Day of Prayer. For events all over Pima County commemorating this day, go to www.pimandp.org.

Here it is the first Thursday in May and time to reflect & pray to whichever God you believe in. But prayer is not always a matter of religion, as you may be praying to some Higher Power if not a God-like figure such as Jesus Christ, Muhammed, Buddha, Krishna, Bahá’u'lláh.

Let us join today in collective prayer for all that is good and positive in our world, including the safety of all missing children.

Let us pray on this National Day of Prayer.

The House of Representatives approved a bill that would grant thousands of young, illegal immigrants the chance to become American citizens Wednesday night.

Called the DREAM Act, the proposal would permit young people brought illegally into the U.S. by their parents the opportunity for citizenship. However, that’s contingent on them completing two years of college or military service.
The vote was 216 to 198.

The White House lobbied hard for the bill’s passage, lauding it as a step towards a comprehensive reform of the nation’s immigration laws.

Supporters say the measure would strengthen the U.S. economy and boost military readiness.

Critics contend that the legislation offers what they call “amnesty” for illegal immigrants.

The Senate plans a vote Thursday to try to summon the DREAM Act to the Senate floor. It is expected to fail.
Rep. Luis Gutierrez (D-IL), one of the main backers of the DREAM Act, believes this is the last chance he has to pull this legislation across the finish line.

“Once the Congress of the United States changes hands and the House of Representatives is in the hands of the Republican Party, I don’t see any movement on comprehensive immigration reform,” Gutierrez said.
