"President Donald J. Trump has called
for a National Day of Prayer this Sunday. While there is never a lack
of serious issues to pray about, the level of anxiety and even fear
among citizens is at a level many of us have never seen before. The need
for national corporate prayer by Christians is indisputable. [President Trump's message via Twitter: "It is my great honor to declare Sunday, March 15th as a National Day of Prayer. We are a Country that, throughout our history, has looked to God for protection and strength in times like these...."]
"While some politicians and media pundits are working overtime to have
us believe that the federal or state government can save us, we know
that God is sovereign (Psalm 103:19)
over the affairs of all creation. It is to Him we must turn when we
encounter various trials. While we should heed the recommendations of
scientists about hand-washing, social-distancing, and stocking our
pantries, we shouldn't panic or worry.
The Illinois Family Institute offered this message in response to President Trump's tweet.
