Christians Gather On Capitol Hill To Fast and Pray For America

CBN News reported:
Christians are gathering on Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C. to fast and pray all week.Leaders say they are humbly calling upon God in a time when our country needs it the most.With the upcoming presidential election and the recent financial problems, these believers are asking for God's mercy and divine direction."God is really our only hope," said Katie Mahoney."Now is the time to pray that the right leaders will come," explained Nathan Rummage.The non-partisan prayer group also placed a 16-foot cross on the west lawn of the Capitol building.

These believers have the right idea. Yes; we are to vote and get involved in the political process. However, we must never forget that the most important thing you can do is fast and pray for our nation. Have you prayed for America today? When was the last time you fasted for America? The answers to these questions may in part explain why our nation has left its Christian foundations. However, it is never too late to change; we must begin to fast and pray for America and specifically the November elections. In addition to the Presidential election, there are many seats in Congress that will be decided. Let us commit to fast and pray for revival in our land and for a return to righteousness.
