Quote of the Day
“We pray that he would be mindful of the poor and that the good, and that he would be invested in the elevation, the alleviation of suffering happening on farms in the Midwest and the families preparing to bury their loved ones in Minneapolis remind him that we are all Americans.”
Jackson delivered the intercession Thursday morning at the bipartisan National Prayer Breakfast, where he asked God to open the president's heart to greater compassion as Trump stood behind him with his eyes cast down.
