One Nation Back at Prayer: President Trump’s Planning A Service of Rededication on May 17

Imagine tens of thousands of people are gathered on the National Mall in Washington, D.C. You may picture images of blue-haired, underemployed protestors, waving professionally made signs as part of an astroturfed protest. Or you may remember the mobs of students protesting the Vietnam War, long hair hanging in their faces.

Now picture tens of thousands of ordinary Americans praying on the National Mall. That could be the next big gathering, coming Sunday, May 17.

President Trump announced his vision for a “National Jubilee of Prayer, Praise, and Thanksgiving” at the National Prayer Breakfast on Thursday, Feb. 5. The president didn’t just announce the Jubilee as a passing remark about upcoming events; he elaborated on the purpose for the event: ‘Quite simply, prayer is America’s superpower…. We are going to rededicate America as one nation under God.”
