‘Heal our land’: U.S. governor signs call for 31 days of prayer, fasting

In days gone by, America’s leaders periodically called for prayer and fasting.

When there was a crisis facing the nation. The founders did it, later presidents have done it.

And now Tennessee’s governor has signed a proclamation calling for 31 days of prayer and fasting in the state, starting July 1.

The plan, out of the state House as Joint Resolution 803, asks citizens to “seek God’s hand of mercy healing on Tennessee.”
