Prayer has nourished countless souls and powered moral movements \u2014 including essential fights against racial injustice, child labor, and infringement on the rights of disabled Americans. Prayer is also a daily practice for many, whether it is to ask for help or strength, or to give thanks over blessings bestowed.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Biden did not say from whom the blessings were bestowed.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe First Amendment to our Constitution protects the rights of free speech and religious liberty, including the right of all Americans to pray,\u201d he continued. \u201cThese freedoms have helped us to create and sustain a Nation of remarkable religious vitality and diversity across the generations.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Biden then segued to how prayer could enable people to confront issues such as \u201cthe existential threat of climate change,\u201d proclaiming, \u201cToday, we remember and celebrate the role that the healing balm of prayer can play in our lives and in the life of our Nation. As we continue to confront the crises and challenges of our time \u2014 from a deadly pandemic, to the loss of lives and livelihoods in its wake, to a reckoning on racial justice, to the existential threat of climate change \u2014 Americans of faith can call upon the power of prayer to provide hope and uplift us for the work ahead. As the late Congressman John Lewis once said, \u2018Nothing can stop the power of a committed and determined people to make a difference in our society. Why? Because human beings are the most dynamic link to the divine on this planet.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Biden, whose administration is pursuing a leftist agenda and has pilloried the Trump administration consistently, concluded with another of his many calls for \u201cunity\u201d:<\/p>\n<blockquote readability=\"16\">\n<p><em>On this National Day of Prayer, we unite with purpose and resolve, and recommit ourselves to the core freedoms that helped define and guide our Nation from its earliest days. We\u00a0celebrate our incredible good fortune that, as Americans, we can exercise our convictions freely \u2014 no matter our faith or beliefs. Let us find in our prayers, however they are delivered, the determination to overcome adversity, rise above our differences, and come together as one Nation to meet this moment in history.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/politics\/biden-national-day-prayer-god-trump-obama-proclamation\">Fox News<\/a> noted of former Presidents Trump and Obama: \u201cTrump\u2019s\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/trumpwhitehouse.archives.gov\/presidential-actions\/president-donald-j-trump-proclaims-may-4-2017-national-day-prayer\/\">2017 proclamation<\/a>\u00a0mentioned God five times, his\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20180504012117\/https:\/www.whitehouse.gov\/presidential-actions\/president-donald-j-trump-proclaims-may-3-national-day-prayer\/\">2018 proclamation<\/a>\u00a0mentioned God five times, his\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/trumpwhitehouse.archives.gov\/presidential-actions\/presidential-proclamation-national-day-prayer-2019\/\">2019 proclamation<\/a>\u00a0mentioned God seven times and his\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/trumpwhitehouse.archives.gov\/presidential-actions\/proclamation-national-day-prayer-2020\/\">2020 proclamation<\/a>\u00a0mentioned God 11 times. \u2026 Obama\u2019s\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/obamawhitehouse.archives.gov\/the-press-office\/2011\/04\/29\/presidential-proclamation-national-day-prayer\">2011 proclamation<\/a>\u00a0contained two references to God.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
