Donald Trump put out a slew of retweets on Saturday night, many of them focused on evangelist Franklin Graham’s recent call for Americans to pray for the president.
Yes, Trump is calling for everyone to pray for him.
Thank you so much, Franklin! https://t.co/LK7sHUGrZ7 [1]

Graham said he plans to name Sunday, June 2 as a “special day of prayer” to protect Trump from his “enemies.”
“We’re on the edge of a precipice,” Graham told CNN [3]. “Time is short. We need to pray for God to intervene. We need to ask God to protect, strengthen, encourage, and guide the President.”

I also hope thousands of pastors across the nation will take a moment in their service this Sunday to pray for the President with their congregations. The Bible tells us, “The prayer of a righteous person has great power …” (James 5:16). I believe there is power in prayer! 3/3
