God and the Founding: Prayer Before the Nation Was Born
Episode Description: In 1746, a French fleet set sail to burn Boston — and God sent a storm that destroyed it after a congregation prayed. In 1755, a young George Washington survived four bullets through his coat and two horses shot from under him, calling it miraculous Providence. And in 1774, the very first motion in the very first Congress was to open in prayer. The Founding Fathers were not distant deists. They were men who called their nation to its knees — and built prayer into the foundation of American government.
Scripture: Proverbs 21:1; Jeremiah 29:12-13; 2 Chronicles 7:14
