“A Time for Prayer” Launches at Cruz for President

HOUSTON, Texas – Presidential candidate Ted Cruz today announced the formation of a national prayer team, "A Time for Prayer," scheduled to launch on December 1.

"Heidi and I are grateful for the prayers of people all over this nation," Cruz said. "We experience the power of prayer every day. We're organizing ‘A Time for Prayer’ to establish a direct line of communication between our campaign and the thousands of Americans who are lifting us up before the Lord. Our nation is in desperate need of God's favor – these are dangerous days for America, but these are also days of great hope. United in prayer and in purpose, we are committed to reignite the promise of our nation."

U.S. Presidents have long requested and relied on prayer. The Continental Congress called the colonies to prayer as they prepared to form the nation. In his Inaugural address on March 4, 1857, President James Buchanan alluded to the importance of prayer, "In entering upon this great office I must humbly invoke the God of our fathers for wisdom and firmness to execute its high and responsible duties." Lincoln called for a day of fasting and prayer in 1863. And in 1952, Congress passed a resolution signed by President Truman declaring an annual day of national prayer.

“A Time for Prayer”, led by Cruz Crew volunteers, is dedicated to a focused season of prayer on behalf of the nation, presidential candidate Ted Cruz, his family and staff, and the campaign.

Those interested in joining the National Prayer Team can visit www.tedcruz.org/pray to sign up. Members will receive weekly emails containing prayer requests and a short devotional. Each Tuesday, members will be invited to a 20-minute prayer conference call. The program launches on December 1.

May God's Love continue embracing the Cruz family, especially their precious daughters, Caroline and Catherine, and continue giving Ted Cruz peace and wisdom!

The acorn does not fall far from the tree. Ted’s Father Raphael is a freedom fighter and a minister of the gospel. Ted carries that legacy into DC and makes his father proud. They know that that the malaise in America is political, economic, social and spiritual. Ted is able to lead in all of the aforementioned, he was born for such a time as this!

Conservative Review - Presidential Candidates Comparison - as of 11-18-15

From Conservative Review's "About" page:

Our Mission

The mission of Conservative Review is to provide best-in-class analysis and commentary on conservative political speech, votes, positions, and elections.

Why?

At some point or another, every voter has felt like they have been duped - sold a fake bill of goods. Politicians and candidates run ads telling conservatives what they want to hear because campaign ads, like it or not, work. Politicians are selling a product, themselves, to you the voter. To cut through the talking points and the smoke and mirrors, Conservative Review employs two main tools: the Liberty Score and our in-depth profiles.

“They know that that the malaise in America is political, economic, social and spiritual.”

The malaise is spiritual and that is why we have the social , economic and political problems .

I hope they call for prayer for spiritual repentance.
