national prayer

Whole country prays together

National prayer refers to organized religious observance conducted on behalf of or in the name of an entire nation, typically calling for divine guidance, protection, or blessing.

In the United States, the term often appears in contexts like the National Day of Prayer or the National Prayer Breakfast—official or semi-official events bringing together religious and political leaders.
