Turning to prayer is a proper response

I am pleased to see the signs around Everett and Seattle asking God to Bless America. I am encouraged that the country is turning back to God. God has blessed America. For the 200-plus years that we have been a country, His hand is ever present.

Please pray for the victims, their families and friends and all Americans. Pray for the president and the Congress and all the military. They are the ones who have, for the same 200-plus years, protected us and our great freedoms.
