The last time an even split occurred was in 1979.
For state legislators and attorneys general as they seek to ensure beneficial outcomes for their residents and constituents.
Pray for America’s Faith Community
“Prayer is how we communicate with God and how He sometimes communicates with us. It is the way we enter into a conversation and a relationship with God. God has commanded us to pray. A prayer has four simple steps. They are evident in the Lord’s prayer found in Matthew 6:9-13:
1) Address our Heavenly Father,
2) Thank Him for blessings,
3) Ask Him for blessings,
4) Close in the name of Jesus Christ.
Prayer can be said in one’s mind or out loud. Praying aloud can sometimes focus one’s thoughts. You can utter prayers at any time. … Jesus Christ taught us to pray always, with sincerity, and avoid vain repetitions. We must pray with unwavering faith and real intent.“ – Rachel Bruner & Krista Cook, Learn Religions, November 2024
