Whereas, We humbly ask almighty God in accordance with His sovereignty to heal our land of calamities, division, anger, and strife; and
Whereas, We further quote President Lincoln to, "earnestly recommend to all the People, and especially to all ministers and teachers of religion of all denominations, and to all heads of families, to observe and keep that day according to their several creeds and modes of worship, in all humility and with all religious solemnity, to the end that the united prayer of the nation may ascend to the Throne of Grace and bring down plentiful blessings upon our Country"; and
Whereas, We have confidence that in accordance with God's will, our nation and state will be healed and unified; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare September 24, 2020, as a Day of Prayer, Fasting, and Humiliation in the state of Michigan.
