Christian Leaders Call for Fasting and Prayer as America Faces Critical Crossroads
Last night, former President Donald Trump joined Christian leaders from across the nation in a powerful prayer call to prepare for tonight’s debate. The event, which gathered prominent Christian leaders like Jack Graham, Paula White, Jentezen Franklin, and many others, emphasized the importance of faith as Trump steps into a high-stakes political moment.
Jack Graham, pastor of Prestonwood Baptist Church, expressed his gratitude on social media, saying, “Last night Donald Trump gathered with thousands of Christians for prayer in preparation for the debate tonight. This is the best preparation imaginable. America needs God and Trump knows it.”
Trump’s involvement was not just symbolic. According to Jenny Korn, a communications strategist, Trump stayed on the line to pray with each pastor personally. She highlighted this by tweeting, “He joined THOUSANDS from across the nation. He stayed on the line to pray w/ every pastor.”
Jentezen Franklin, senior pastor of Free Chapel, called on believers to join him in prayer and fasting for the upcoming debate and the nation’s future. Franklin shared, “I urge then, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercession, and thanksgiving be made for all people – for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness” (1 Timothy 2:12). Franklin is encouraging a sun-up to sun-down fast today as believers seek God’s guidance for America, underscoring the spiritual weight of the political season.
This prayer call signifies how deeply Trump values the prayers and support of the Christian community, particularly in pivotal moments like these. As the nation watches the debate tonight, millions of believers will continue in prayer, seeking wisdom and direction for America’s future.
