Call to national prayer
"It is the duty of nations as well as of men to own their dependence upon the overruling power of God, and to confess their sins and transgressions in humble sorrow, yet with assured hope that genuine repentance will lead to mercy and pardon, and to recognize the sublime truth, announced in Holy Scripture, and proven by all history, that those nations only are blessed whose God is the Lord."
– Abraham Lincoln, March 4, 1865
Abraham Lincoln understood the need for a reliance on God, especially during times of national peril. Our American presidents have a long history of advocating prayer – and even fasting and repentance of national sins – during times of national jeopardy.
