“Sir, in the Sacred Writings, except the Lord build the house, they labor in vain who build it.”
—Benjamin Franklin to George Washington, speaking at the Constitutional Convention, June 28, 1787
Doctor Franklin continued:
“I therefore beg leave to move that henceforth prayers imploring the assistance of Heaven, and its blessings on our deliberations, be held in this assembly every morning.”
"...if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land."
