President John Dramani Mahama has asserted that while prayer and faith remain important pillars of national life, they must be complemented by hard work, discipline and responsibility.
Addressing the 2026 National Day of Prayer in Accra this Wednesday, President John Dramani Mahama stated that faith and prayer must be underpinned by hard work, discipline, and personal responsibility to secure Ghana’s economic prosperity and sustainable development.
The President urged citizens to move beyond prayer, fostering a robust work ethic and demonstrating commitment in their daily lives to drive national transformation.
He maintained that aspirations for growth can only be realised through a synergy of belief and purposeful action, where every citizen contributes to the nation’s success.
Referencing biblical history, the President underscored that authentic faith requires practical application to foster meaningful change.
“Our national journey reminds us of an enduring truth, ‘faith without works is dead,’ says James 2:26. And prayer without responsibility cannot transform an economy. Hope without discipline cannot create prosperity.
“Throughout history, God’s people have always combined faith with hard work. When Nehemiah rebuilt the walls of Jerusalem, the people prayed but they also laboured. When Joseph prepared Egypt for the years of famine, they also planned wisely.”
