First thing Wednesday morning, evangelist Franklin Graham issued his congratulations to the presumptive Republican nominee, Donald Trump.
“Congratulations are in order for Republican presidential candidate Donald J. Trump this morning after his win in Indiana makes him the presumptive nominee for his party. We need to continue to pray for major change in Washington and in our country through whoever is elected. Let’s pray for God’s will to be done and that He will give this nation leaders at every level who will look to Him for wisdom and direction,” Graham posted to Facebook.
The evangelist has been on a campaign in his own right—The Decision America Tour. Graham is working his way through all 50 states to campaign for God and encourage Americans to turn back to the Lord, especially in a time of political upheaval.
“Regardless of who your candidate of choice is—or was—remember, they are only human. Without God in the equation, they will ultimately fail. Our hope can’t rest in any candidate or political party—the only hope for America is in God and His Son, Jesus Christ.
“That’s why I’m in Kentucky today—and going to all 50 states this year—to hold #DecisionAmericaTour prayer rallies at every Capitol. We’re asking God to forgive our sins and heal our land. Let’s pray for a movement of repentance of our sins to sweep across this nation.
“‘Some trust in chariots, and some in horses, but we trust in the name of the Lord our God.’ (Psalm 20:7),” he concluded.
