Amidst War, America Should Turn to God

Today, Rep. Joe Wilson (R-SC) made the following remarks on the House floor:"Mr. Speaker, we live in extraordinary times. Never in history has the public been able to experience a war so vividly, watching battles unfold on their television screens as the heroes of our military secure freedom and liberty for the people of Iraq, and rid the world of the threat of Saddam Hussein and his weapons of mass destruction," said Rep. Wilson."As these battlefield images can fill us with anxiety, it is now more important than ever to take time to pray for God's protection over our valiant soldiers, and that He would grant wisdom, guidance, and strength to our Commander-in-Chief, President George W. Bush, and his team."I ask my colleagues to join me in supporting Congressman Todd Akin's proposal, H. Res. 153, to designate a national day of prayer and fasting. As it is written in the book of Psalms: ‘God is our refuge and strength, an ever present help in trouble.'"May God bless our troops, and may God continue to bless America," said Rep. Wilson.###
