"I can assure you the President and I know the most meaningful work—the transformative work in this country—happens in places just like this; it happens in houses of worship and in the hearts of the American people. We know the truth is [that] no podium the President and I ever stand behind will be of greater consequence than your pulpits. No policy we ever enact will be more meaningful than the ministries that you lead. No action ... we take will ever be more powerful than the love and compassion and the prayers for the American people." -Vice President Mike Pence

As you pray for those of us in positions of authority that have been entrusted by the American people in our positions, I also encourage you, in these too divided of times across this country, to just pray for America. Pray for all the people of America. Because I truly do believe that those ancient words that have seen our nation, through much more challenging times than we could imagine in our time, are every bit as true today: That if His people who are called by His name will humble themselves and pray, He'll do like He's always done through the long and storied history of this country. He'll hear from Heaven and He'll heal this land—(applause)—this one nation, under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. So, keep on praying.

At home and abroad, I'll promise you, President Trump and I are going to continue to fight for what we know is right. But as I close, let me say we also recognize that the most important work in America doesn't happen in the White House, on Capitol Hill, or in any public office for that matter.

I can assure you the President and I know the most meaningful work—the transformative work in this country—happens in places just like this; it happens in houses of worship and in the hearts of the American people.

We know the truth is [that] no podium the President and I ever stand behind will be of greater consequence than your pulpits. No policy we ever enact will be more meaningful than the ministries that you lead. No action ... we take will ever be more powerful than the love and compassion and the prayers for the American people.

So, thank you for the honor of addressing you. Keep changing hearts. Keep reaching people all across this community, and this state, this nation, and this world. Keep changing lives. And we'll keep making American great again.

Thanks everybody. God bless you. And God bless America. Subscribe for free to Breaking Christian News here
