“Today, we ask God for His guidance, peace, and wisdom,” the RNC added.
Sen. Rick Scott (R-FL) recognized the day by reminding Americans how fortunate they are to live in a country where one can “pray and worship freely without fear or persecution.”
“There’s no doubt prayer is powerful. No matter what you are going through, remember you can always go to the Lord in prayer,” the senator added:
