Americans nationwide have the opportunity to pray for the country July 5, when the Family Research Council (FRC) hosts Call 2 Fall.
The nationwide prayer vigil will focus on a call for the healing of America and total dependence on God. Organizers say after celebrating Independence Day July 4, it's only fitting for believers to "spend time on their knees in crying out to God to heal our souls and our land."
So far, nearly 20,000 people and churches have committed to praying, according to FRC President Tony Perkins.
"I'm encouraged because I think the church is coming to a point where we've come to the end of our own devices and we're looking to God for the prescription of what it will take to turn this nation around," he said.
Wellington Boone, pastor of The Father's House in Atlanta, took part in a conference call to announce the event.
"I'd rather be voluntarily humble that to be humbled by God," he said. "…I don't want God to have to turn me around by tribulation. I'd rather Him turn me around by revelation. I believe that this Call 2 Fall initiative is a revelation that I want to be a part of."
