Proclamation on the National Day of Prayer for all Americans Affected by the Coronavirus Pandemic and for our National Response Efforts
whitehouse.gov ^ | March 14, 2020 | President Donald J Trump

Posted on 03/14/2020 7:05:35 PM PDT by ransomnote

From The White House

In our times of greatest need, Americans have always turned to prayer to help guide us through trials and periods of uncertainty.  As we continue to face the unique challenges posed by the coronavirus pandemic, millions of Americans are unable to gather in their churches, temples, synagogues, mosques, and other houses of worship.  But in this time we must not cease asking God for added wisdom, comfort, and strength, and we must especially pray for those who have suffered harm or who have lost loved ones.  I ask you to join me in a day of prayer for all people who have been affected by the coronavirus pandemic and to pray for God’s healing hand to be placed on the people of our Nation.

As your President, I ask you to pray for the health and well-being of your fellow Americans and to remember that no problem is too big for God to handle.  We should all take to heart the holy words found in 1 Peter 5:7:  “Casting all your care upon him, for he careth for you.”  Let us pray that all those affected by the virus will feel the presence of our Lord’s protection and love during this time.  With God’s help, we will overcome this threat.

On Friday, I declared a national emergency and took other bold actions to help deploy the full power of the Federal Government to assist with efforts to combat the coronavirus pandemic.  I now encourage all Americans to pray for those on the front lines of the response, especially our Nation’s outstanding medical professionals and public health officials who are working tirelessly to protect all of us from the coronavirus and treat patients who are infected; all of our courageous first responders, National Guard, and dedicated individuals who are working to ensure the health and safety of our communities; and our Federal, State, and local leaders.  We are confident that He will provide them with the wisdom they need to make difficult decisions and take decisive actions to protect Americans all across the country.  As we come to our Father in prayer, we remember the words found in Psalm 91:  “He is my refuge and my fortress:  my God; in him will I trust.”

As we unite in prayer, we are reminded that there is no burden too heavy for God to lift or for this country to bear with His help.  Luke 1:37 promises that “For with God nothing shall be impossible,” and those words are just as true today as they have ever been.  As one Nation under God, we are greater than the hardships we face, and through prayer and acts of compassion and love, we will rise to this challenge and emerge stronger and more united than ever before.  May God bless each of you, and may God bless the United States of America.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, DONALD J. TRUMP, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim March 15, 2020, as a National Day of Prayer for All Americans Affected by the Coronavirus Pandemic and for our National Response Efforts.  I urge Americans of all faiths and religious traditions and backgrounds to offer prayers for all those affected, including people who have suffered harm or lost loved ones.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this fourteenth day of March, in the year of our Lord two thousand twenty, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and forty-fourth.

DONALD J. TRUMP

Father in Heaven, I pray that you help us feel your comfort and assurance and that you bring calm to our nation. Father I ask that you heal the sick and guide the actions of our President, his administration, and all medical health staff/doctors in treating the illness. Father, please remind us that this illness is not a surprise to you and that nothing can overwhelm your might and love. Forftify us, grant us strength Lord, so we may confidently and resolutely work together to help each other and our nation through this emergency as you have always help us through every emergency we've been through in the past. Father in Heaven, please grant us courage, strength and failthfulness, remind us to pray and strengthen our feeble faith to create in us an unwavering resolution. As we work our way through our challenges, crush America's enemies and the enemies of all that is good. Expose threats, harms and strategies and protect us, our president, his warriors and all patriots. And Father, please grant us the peace that surpasses all understanding and use us to encourage one another. Thank you for all the lavish blessings you have given our country and our people. I ask all these things in Jesus' name, Amen.

Just my 2 cents. It appears that the devoted prayers of many people (I wasn’t among them) praying for the election of 2016 is what brought us President Trump.

I don’t beleive he’s asking for prayer in desperation, but that prayer has kept the nation since it’s founding and can help steady those who are panicking and bring us together, focused and calm, and prepared to deal with any and all challenges. :)

A National Day of PRAISE for his allowing only 1800 deaths before he acted on H1N1.
