In a historic gesture, Governor Bill Lee joined Rep. Monty Fritts and Sen. Mark Pody calling for Tennessee to join together for 30 days of prayer and fasting beginning July 1.
In a accompanying letter the Resolution calls those who are physically able and spiritually incline to join in this 30-day season of prayer and intermittent fasting during July for God’s grace, mercy and blessing for Tennessee and our nation.
Many believe an upcoming election can fix the ills of the United States. Scripture explains in II Chronicle 7:14 the answer lies in prayer and repentance.
This scripture states when God’s people pray and seek him and repent, then he will heal the land.
Pody and Fritts invite churches across Tennessee to read the Resolution on July 1st.
They invite those who hear to “examine our lives in light of God’s Word and confess of our sins”.
And they ask that the Church “acknowledge…we…have failed to stand for the principles of God, ask for His Forgiveness and Mercy, and commit to stand firmly on those principles going forward”.
The letter ends by inviting “those who are able, join in prayer and intermittent fasting as a means of demonstrating our desire for repentance.”
Fritts states the success of this bill is not a document on paper, but the feet and hands action of local congregations who earnestly join this effort on their knees.
He invites those willing to organize county observances to contact Fritts office in Nashville, whose number is below.
A copy of the resolution can be obtained from the office of Senator Mark Pody 615-741-2421 or Representative Montry Fritts 615-741-7658 or emailing ofoneaccord@yahoo.com.
