This Senate resolution commemorates the 250th anniversary of a historic declaration made by the Second Continental Congress on March 16, 1776, which designated May 17 as a day of humiliation, fasting, and prayer. The original 1776 resolution called on the American colonies to collectively pray for divine guidance and protection as they faced increasing British military threats and potential war. The Continental Congress urged colonists to confess their sins, seek God's forgiveness, and pray for strength to resist British forces while hoping their enemies' hearts might be changed toward justice and peace. This commemorative resolution, introduced by Senators Lankford and Warnock, was agreed to by the Senate and requires no funding or implementation timeline since it simply recognizes this historical milestone. The resolution acknowledges an important moment when America's founding leaders formally called upon their fellow colonists to unite in prayer during a critical period leading up to the Declaration of Independence.
