One of the most lamentable developments in recent politics has been the Left’s decision to insult the importance of “thoughts and prayers.”
Believers utter the well-meaning phrase as a sign of heartfelt charity for those who suffer any kind of tragedy. Yet some of the most prominent figures on the Left, who never let a crisis go to waste, go so far as to call “thought and prayers” meaningless.
Thankfully, the attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump on Saturday evening has evoked a different response to the power of the Almighty.
“Thank you to everyone for your thoughts and prayers yesterday, as it was God alone who prevented the unthinkable from happening,” Trump posted on Truth Social hours after the attack.
Prayerful Christians saw their thoughts and prayers for President Trump’s temporal well-being fulfilled on Saturday. May the Lord use its deep impact to lead him and all people to His everlasting blessedness.
