America Rededicates to God

From National Eagle Forum

Thousands Gather in D.C. for a Day of Prayer, Praise and Reconciliation

On May 17, 1776, our Founding Fathers gathered for the Second Continental Congress in the midst of an impending war for freedom from British rule. The odds were against them, yet they had the biggest weapon in their arsenal: prayer. On that day, they called upon the thirteen colonies to dedicate a day to humiliation, fasting, and prayer. Exactly 250 years later, faith leaders, elected officials, and thousands of Americans came together in our nation’s capital to once again rededicate the United States of America back to God. The Rededicate 250 National Prayer Jubilee showcased God’s favor on our land and implored His blessings for the years to come. 
 
In an impressive feat, believers in God, regardless of denomination, united to worship our Creator. Pastors, priests, and rabbis joined musicians, lawmakers, and cultural influencers to lead people in worship. As actor Jonathan Roumie pointed out, the day also coincided with the Feast of the Ascension which is a remembrance of Jesus’s bodily ascension into Heaven. Speaker after speaker highlighted the threads of faith intertwined throughout U.S. history, affirming the words of King David in Psalm 33:12, “Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord; and the people whom He hath chosen for His own inheritance.”
