Here is something different from one in charge. Tennessee Republican Governor Bill Lee is calling for an entire month of prayer and fasting. He wants the people to ask for God’s hand of mercy and healing in Tennessee.

In what has been described as a “historic gesture,” Tennessee Governor Bill Lee has signed a bill calling for 30 days of prayer and fasting beginning July 1 in the Volunteer State.

House Confirms

Tennessee House Joint Resolution 0803 asks the state’s people “to seek God’s hand of mercy and healing on Tennessee.”

A letter signed by Tennessee state Senator Mark Pody and Representative Monty Fritts accompanying the resolution invites “those who are physically able and spiritually inclined to do so to join in a 30-day season of prayer and intermittent fasting for the month of July as a means of humbling ourselves to receive God’s grace, mercy, and blessing in Tennessee and in our Nation.”

Comparison To Bible

The wording of the legislators is reminiscent of 2 Chronicles 7:14 in which God says, “If My people, who are called by My name, will humble themselves and pray and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from Heaven, and I will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.”

I totally agree. This has been a long time coming. We need to bring the God of all creation forefront in r lives. We need to acknowledge He is sovereign. We need to humble ourselves & ask for forgiveness. We need to ask Him to restore His blessings to America. Righteous people need to stand for Christian values & morals. We r appointed by God to set examples of mercy & love.
