42 - A PRAYER TO SAVE AMERICA | Benjamin Franklin (Founding Father) | Revolutionary War

That critical summer of 1787 the delegates to the Constitutional Convention were on the path to failing miserably.

For a month the delegates had argued over a forgettable list of ego-driven proposals, accomplishing nothing.

Benjamin Franklin spoke addressing the head of the Congress:

“I have lived, sir, a long time, and the longer I live the more convincing proofs I see of this truth, that God governs in the affairs of men. …If a sparrow cannot fall to the ground without His notice, is it probable an empire can rise without His aid?

"We seem to be growing further apart as passions rise. There is too much at stake. I therefore beg leave to move that henceforth prayers imploring the assistance of heaven…be held in this assembly every morning before we proceed to business...”

God answered that humble acknowledgement of the power of prayer. The Constitution of the United States was born.
