In anticipation of President Barack Obama’s last State of the Union Address on Tuesday night, Rev. Franklin Graham said he could already reveal the condition of our nation – it is broken, morally, spiritually, politically, and racially.
The reverend added that he hoped President Obama would “turn to God for wisdom and direction” in leading America for his last 12 months in office.
“Tonight the president is set to give his final State of the Union address,”said Rev. Graham in a Jan. 12 post on Facebook. “I can tell you the state of our union.”
“Our nation is broken -- it's broken morally; it's broken spiritually; it's broken politically; it's broken racially,” he said.
“The state of our union cannot be fixed unless we repent of our sins individually and ask our nation to do the same,” Rev. Graham continued.
”I've just led a Decision America Tour prayer rally in the capital of Florida--#2 of 50!” he said. “Now I'm on way to Baton Rouge to pray with the people of Louisiana for their state and this nation tomorrow at noon.
“Mr. President, I hope in the time you have remaining in office that you will turn to God for wisdom and direction about how to lead this nation,” said Rev. Graham. “May your last 12 months be the best and most beneficial for this country. ‘Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord’ (Psalm 33:12).”
Franklin Graham, 63, is the son of world-renowned evangelist Billy Graham. Franklin Graham oversees the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association and the international Christian relief group Samaritan’s Purse. He is married and has five children.
