WASHINGTON, D. C., (WOWO): Thursday afternoon, U.S. Congressman Marlin Stutzman released the following statement in observance of the National Day of Prayer:

“On this National Day of Prayer, we come together to seek God’s wisdom for our nation, His discernment for our leaders, and His blessing for our communities. Our heritage has endured times of uncertainty and prosperity because our hope is not found in man’s strength or Washington’s power. We remember our great blessing of liberty, given to us by our Creator, and ask for His continued protection. May God continue to bless America.”
