Script:
My fellow Alabamians:
Today, as we join across this great nation in observing the 75th National Day of Prayer, I am reminded how deeply faith has been woven into the fabric of our country.
From our earliest days, prayer has guided our leaders and strengthened our people. During the founding of our nation, men like President George Washington called on Americans to seek God's wisdom and remain steadfast in times of goodness and uncertainty.
It's a tradition that has carried us through hardship and triumph alike.
And as we look ahead to celebrating America's 250th birthday, we are reminded that the freedoms we enjoy today did not come easy. They required a firm reliance on faith.
This year's National Day of Prayer theme - "Glorify God Among the Nations, Seeking Him in All Generations" - calls on each of us to not only reflect on our past, but to be good stewards of the future.
Let us pray for our leaders each and every day.
We pray President Trump and leaders at every level of government be guided by wisdom, strength and a steady hand as they make decisions that will shape America today and tomorrow.
In Alabama, we know the value of faith. And we know when we come together in prayer, there is no challenge too great for us to overcome.
So today, I encourage each of you to take a moment. Pray for our state, pray for our nation and pray for one another.
May God continue to bless each of you, the great state of Alabama and these United States of America!
