- Scripture and appeals for the Holy Spirit’s guidance were central to the gathering’s message of national renewal.
Concerned for the nation’s spiritual state, congressional and faith leaders joined to seek God’s intervention and guidance. They emphasized unity built on Christian truth and called for renewed moral strength to face challenges like violence and deception.
“This is a nation that is broken. The people are broken, and we desperately need you, Lord. We desperately need your hand of guidance,” prayed Rep. Andrew Clyde, expressing the need for divine leadership and unity without compromise with evil.
Prayers also sought restoration among congressional leaders, an end to division, and boldness for pastors to lead the nation toward righteousness.
“Help us to be peacemakers. Help us to stay on the truth, without being caustic, without being unkind, but help us to stand and reach out to those that oppose us. We’re to pray for our enemies. So that’s what we’re doing here today,” Christian author Frank Turek prayed, addressing rising anger and violence.
The group lifted up President Trump in accordance with 1 Timothy 2, praying for protection, wisdom, and attentiveness to the Holy Spirit’s guidance as he continues to lead.
“May that still small voice of the Holy Spirit continue to speak into him and guide him moment by moment as he continues to guide this nation,” prayed Rep. Mark Harris, also appealing for safety and openness to God’s counsel.
Attendees prayed for truth to triumph over falsehood in public discourse, especially on issues like sexuality and the sanctity of life, affirming that only God’s ways bring true freedom and hope.
With a closing prayer, Dr. Ben Carson acknowledged God’s blessings on America’s founding, asking the Lord to preserve liberty and faith despite forces working against them.
Let us continue to seek God’s guidance for our leaders and our land, praying boldly that America stands as a beacon of faith, family, and freedom.
