Governor Hutchinson Calls for Special Day of Prayer

Arkansas,

Yesterday Governor Asa Hutchinson issued a proclamation designating Sunday, March 29, a special day of prayer in Arkansas.

The governor is calling on Arkansans to pray for the state of Arkansas and for the Nation amid the COVID-19 outbreak.

The proclamation reads in part,

“As Arkansans, we strengthen our faith through prayer, and today, we come together united as a state seeking God’s reassurance and thanking Him for his guidance . . . In Deuteronomy 31:8, we are reminded of God’s promise, ‘The Lord Himself goes before you and will be with you; He will never leave or forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged’ . . .”

You can read the entire proclamation here.

Please help spread the word that Sunday, March 29, is a special day of prayer for our state and country.

I hope you and your friends will join with us in praying for our state, our nation, and our leaders.
