By Movieguide® Contributor
The National Day of Prayer is celebrated on May 2 when people are asked “to turn to God in prayer and meditation.” In honor of the special day, this curated list features movies where prayer brings miracles. While Moveiguide® encourages daily conversation with the Lord, we join our fellow brothers and sisters in Christ to pray for America in observance of the holiday. These films demonstrate the miraculous power of prayer.
MIRACLE AT MANCHESTER

UNBROKEN: PATH TO REDEMPTION
UNBROKEN: PATH TO REDEMPTION picks up where Angelina Jolie’s 2014 movie UNBROKEN ends, but showcases Olympic athlete Louis Zamperini’s faith journey toward Jesus back in America. UNBROKEN: PATH TO REDEMPTION is an emotionally stirring tear jerker, with great production values and a powerful ending, though caution is advised for older children due to some mature content, such as alcohol addiction.
