Revival in America: The Bible Verse Presidents Have Prayed Since 1775

Revival in America: The Bible Verse Presidents Have Prayed Since 1775

Revival in America has never come from human effort. It comes from the Holy Spirit, and history shows U.S. presidents have prayed this exact truth since before the nation was even born. In today's Daily Hope, Pastor John Dickerson traces one verse, Zechariah 4:6, Not by might, nor by power, but by my Spirit, through American history. A year before the United States existed, the Continental Congress called for a day of fasting and repentance in 1775. President Truman signed the first National Day of Prayer into law in 1952. President Jimmy Carter quoted this same verse in 1979. Each one pointed to the same truth: revival is not something we produce through willpower, it is something the Holy Spirit brings when we repent and pray. This message is part of a series on America's Great Awakenings, tracing the moments God has moved powerfully across the nation as we pray for the next one.

What Happened to the Woman Behind Roe v. Wade?

Jane Roe, the woman at the center of Roe v Wade, believed for years that some things were too far gone for God to forgive. Then everything changed. In today's Daily Hope, Pastor John Dickerson tells the true story of Norma McCorvey, the woman who became known as Jane Roe in the case that legalized abortion nationwide in 1973. Years later, a pastor led her to faith in Christ, and Norma described it like being handed a cup of water she did not know she was thirsty for. Drawing from John 4:15 and the story of the woman at the well, Pastor Dickerson shows how McCorvey moved from confusion and regret to forgiveness, purpose, and a passion for defending life. Her striking 2005 Senate testimony reveals the moment she asked God to forgive her and dedicated the rest of her life to helping women and children. This message is part of a series on America's Great Awakenings, tracing the moments God has moved powerfully across the nation as we pray for the next one. Daily Hope with Pastor John Dickerson exists to help you take one step closer to God every day, no matter where you are in your journey.

Why Apollo 8 Read Genesis 1 from the Moon

Why did the Apollo 8 astronauts read Genesis 1 from the moon? During one of the most uncertain seasons in American history, they chose to share the Bible's opening words with an estimated one billion people around the world. In today's Daily Hope, Pastor John S. Dickerson reflects on this unforgettable Christmas Eve broadcast and reminds us that God often opens unexpected doors for His truth to shine. Just as Scripture brought hope in a time of fear and division, God still calls His people to faithfully represent Christ wherever He gives us influence. As we pray for the next Great Awakening, may we be ready to step through every door God opens and boldly point others to Him.

The Man Who Led Billy Graham to Christ | Luke 1:50

What if one prayer you prayed today reached millions of people — long after you're gone? In today's Daily Hope, Pastor John S. Dickerson tells the true story of Mordecai Ham, the traveling evangelist who led a 16-year-old farm boy named Billy to the Lord. That boy was Billy Graham — who went on to share the gospel with over 250 million people live, with more than two million known conversions. It all traces back to one faithful servant, on his knees in a hotel room, praying for souls he couldn't yet see. Luke 1:50 says God's mercy extends to those who fear Him from generation to generation. Mordecai Ham didn't know what God would do through that revival meeting in Charlotte. You don't know what God will do through yours either. Keep being faithful with the gifts you have. Text "DAILY" to 71093 to receive Daily Hope videos sent to your phone every day.
