Obama released his annual National Day of Prayer proclamation on Wednesday, showering accolades upon the role that prayer plays in inspiring good works, while also doubling down on his commitment to defend religious liberty around the globe.
“In times of steady calm and extraordinary change alike, Americans of all walks of life have long turned to prayer to seek refuge, demonstrate gratitude, and discover peace,” Obama wrote. “Sustaining us through great uncertainty and moments of sorrow, prayer allows us an outlet for introspection, and for expressing our hopes, desires, and fears. It offers strength in the face of hardship, and redemption when we falter.”
The commander-in-chief went on to say that America was “founded on the idea of religious freedom” and that Americans, as a result, have the right to chose how they pray and whether or not they want to invoke the Almighty.
