Vance observed in his remarks that Christianity has been inextricable with America since its founding, tracing its religious heritage and reliance upon God from Plymouth Colony Gov. William Bradford’s first Thanksgiving proclamation in 1623 through the Founding Fathers, the Civil War and the present day.

“In times of suffering and in times of triumph, millions of Americans continue to turn to prayer and their faith in God,” he said, but went on to warn of the ruinous consequences if that spiritual foundation erodes.

“If we do not see that God loves us, we have little reason and little inspiration to love one another. This love, which forms our morality, is the foundation of a peaceful and healthful society. That’s why it’s so encouraging to see a renewed sense of faith emerging among America’s young people,” he said.

“Defying predictions, the experts said that religion and faith were dying today. A wave of young Americans is returning to the pews, and we know that they’re looking for meaning, for authority, for direction, and of course for closeness with God. That should give all of us hope for our future together as Americans.”

“It certainly gives me hope as your vice president, because prayer is not merely something we do in times of crisis. It is a continual disposition of love toward God, and through that love toward one another, through our fellow citizens,” he said.

The current evidence of drought across the country and the coming El Nino indicate that Americans need to get into prayer for the nation NOW. My recent post published 13/05/2026, Biblical Prophesied End Times Famine is About to Hit the USA, demonstrates that unless God intervenes drought and famine are certain.
