The American constitution guarantees its people the right to freely practice their religion. The first amendment of the constitution states, “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances. Recently, there has been increasing attacks on the freedom of religion. Christians in the marketplace, in schools and universities and in the public square are having their voices silenced. We need to pray for the protection over religious freedom and for boldness to proclaim the truths of God.
Prayer Points
