HUD Secretary Scott Turner's Challenge of Prayer for Every American
"...What if 1 million people prayed for our country every single week between now and next July 4th? What if Believers all across this great nation got together with 10 people: friends, family members, colleagues, work associates—10 people each week, to pray for our country and our fellow citizens? Let that sink in..."
[Breaking Christian News] On Monday, an assembly of President Trump's Religious Liberty Commission convened at the Museum of the Bible in Washington, DC. It featured testimonies of American Christians who'd been persecuted in various ways, as well as remarks by faith leaders, the President and members of his administration.

One of those who spoke was Scott Turner, who is Trump's Secretary of Housing and Urban Development, and who has been called on to pray several times before cabinet meetings in the White House.
Not only did Sec. Turner remind those attending the assembly of the Power of God and of prayer, but he issued an important challenge to every American (Click Here to watch Sec. Turner's full remarks and prayer):
"Think about this," said Turner. "What if 1 million people prayed for our country every single week between now and next July 4th?
"What if Believers all across this great nation got together with 10 people: friends, family members, colleagues, work associates--10 people each week, to pray for our country and for our fellow citizens? Let that sink in.
"1 million people, every single week. Ten people getting together to pray for our country, and for her citizens. Think about the miracles that would take place over the next year. Think about the transformation that you and I could witness in communities all across the land.
"Sons returning to their fathers, daughters returning to their mothers. Families coming back together, health being restored, financial needs being met, mountains being moved. THINK ABOUT IT. If a million of us, every week, got together and prayed for this great country. How many know that God is well-able to do it? Amen! (Screengrab image: via DRM News)
"We're a nation that has always believed in the power of prayer ... on behalf of President Trump, and ultimately the Lord God Almighty Who calls us to pray without ceasing, I'm inviting ALL Americans to pray with unwavering faith for the renewal of our nation, and our fellow citizens..."
What if we Americans did this very thing? How many of us will take up this challenge? I, myself, am going to aim for this goal.
While we may not always be able to muster up 10 others to pray with us each week, remember Jesus' words in Matthew 18:20, "For where two or three are gathered together in My name, I am there in the midst of them."
