Rev. Franklin Graham is calling on Americans to pray and repent on Wednesday, Jan. 14, at noon Eastern Time.
“If you think our nation is in trouble now, just wait,” Graham, the president of Samaritan’s Purse and the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association, posted on social media.
“As our streets boil over with hate, anger, crime, drugs, and just sheer hopelessness, is there something we can do?” he asked before answering, “You bet there is.”
Graham called for a “time of prayer and repentance this Wednesday, January 14, at 12:00 noon ET.” He explained, “As a nation, our sins are so great. We have increasingly turned our backs on God and His commands, embracing godless secularism.”
“We need to ask His forgiveness and seek His face. Pray for our leaders, and pray that God would bring calm to our streets,” the 73-year-old minister continued. “There are many who would like to stir things up—there are even those who would like to destroy this great country. Pray that these efforts would be thwarted and their plans would be brought into confusion.”
“Ask God to use His Church to be His instruments of peace in this time of great uncertainty,” Graham added, before reminding his followers to “please stop and pray” on Wednesday at noon.

Graham said it will “make a difference” if millions of people ask God for forgiveness, repent of their sins, and seek God’s face. “Let’s humble ourselves. Let’s give God the glory for this great nation and thank Him for His hand of blessing, protection, and mercy,” Graham concluded.

On Saturday, Jan. 10, Graham told his followers that “the only hope for America is God” and asked if they had seen the “the reports of protesters—or paid agitators—chanting unbelievable things like, ‘Save a life, kill ICE!’ or ‘Kristi Noem will hang?’”
