Republican Lawmakers Discuss the Importance of Month of Prayer & Fasting in Tennessee

Interview & Article by Tennessee Conservative News Reporter, Olivia Lupia.

On July 1, the Pray4TN movement kicked off to honor the resolution which declares 30 days of prayer and fasting in the state of Tennessee every July for those “physically able and spiritually inclined”, and on Saturday, August 2, believers gathered as a united body for a final wrap-up event across the street from the state capitol to worship and seek God’s hand over the state.

HJR0051sponsors Rep. Monty Fritts (R-Kingston-District 32) and Sen. Mark Pody (R-Lebanon-District 17) were unable to join the event due to last minute personal matters, but both attended several of the 95 county gatherings across the state and sent their regards to those who gathered near the capitol.

The Tennessee Conservative spoke with Senator Janice Bowling (R-Tullahoma-District 16), Representative and Congressional candidate Jody Barrett (R-Dickson-District 69), and Rep. Aron Maberry (R-District 68-Clarksville).

HJR0051 seeks to ensure Tennesseans will recognize the importance of asking “the Holy Spirit to move withing the halls of government, our classrooms, our businesses, our places of worship, and our homes, bringing peace, hope, love, kindness, goodness, gentleness, faithfulness, temperance, forbearance, and joy” each year, and the Pray4TN organizers are hoping the movement will continue to grow in each county and across the state.
