Republicans on Thursday recognized the National Day of Prayer, thanking God for all He has done for the country and seeking His guidance for the time to come.
“On this National Day of Prayer, Americans join to thank God for the blessings, freedom, and prosperity He has bestowed upon our great country,” the Republican National Committee (RNC) said in a statement, praying for those in the military “making sacrifices to preserve our liberties and protect the free world, as well as the law enforcement officers protecting us here at home.”
“Today, we ask God for His guidance, peace, and wisdom,” the RNC added.
Sen. Rick Scott (R-FL) recognized the day by reminding Americans how fortunate they are to live in a country where one can “pray and worship freely without fear or persecution.”
“There’s no doubt prayer is powerful. No matter what you are going through, remember you can always go to the Lord in prayer,” the senator added:
