Prayer in America Quotes

“With freedom came an implicit understanding for most people of the need to turn to God through prayer. Americans quickly concluded that to secure their future they needed to set parameters in their lives, determining what was right and wrong, acceptable and not acceptable in a civilized society. In that journey, prayer helped Americans to cope with one another, to bond with a higher power, and to forge their own prescriptions for a fulfilling life.”
― James P. Moore Jr, Prayer in America: A Spiritual History of Our Nation
