Sen. Cruz Recognizes National Day of Prayer

WASHINGTON, D.C. - U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) today released the following statement in recognition of the National Day of Prayer:

"Today on the National Day of Prayer, as people of all faiths and churches join together in hope and prayer for our great nation, we celebrate the power of prayer and our unique American freedom to worship.

"We pause to lift up those who are martyred for their faith in places of worship across the globe.

"We recognize that without the blessing of divine providence, our human institutions and plans would be for nothing. I invite all Texans to join me in prayer for this nation: that we may care for the poor and vulnerable; that we may defend the innocent, and seek justice for the wicked; and that America remain a beacon of freedom in the world."
