God heard and answered all of the prayers for Congressman Steve Scalise! And he gives all the glory to God! Thank God and praise Him—He is at work in our nation. Share a prayer of thanksgiving with Congressman Scalise HERE.

Come and hear, all you who fear God; let me tell you what he has done for me. I cried out to him with my mouth; his praise was on my tongue. (Ps 66:16-17)

“U.S. Rep. Steve Scalise credits ‘the power of prayer’ for being alive after a bullet nearly killed him.

The Majority Whip returned to Congress on Thursday to thunderous applause. He walked in leaning on leg supports but under his own power. As soon as he entered the chamber, the entire House of Representatives erupted with shouts and cheers.

‘It starts with God,’ the Louisiana Republican told his peers. ‘He really did deliver for me and my family.’

He told them that since the shooting he has experienced a spiritual revival. ‘It just gives you that renewed faith and understanding that the power of prayer is something you cannot underestimate.’. . .

Scalise told the packed House that after he was shot, he was unable to move. ‘I just started to pray,’ he shared. ‘And (prayer) gave me an unbelievable sense of calm. At that point, it was in God’s hands.’

‘I prayed for very specific things. And, I will tell you, pretty much every one of those prayers were answered,’ Scalise said, barely keeping his composure. ‘I’m definitely a living example that miracles really do happen.’”(Excerpted from Life Site News, reporting by Fr.

Lead me, O LORD in Your righteousness because of my enemies; make Your way straight before my face. For there is no faithfulness in their mouth; their inward part is destruction; their throat is an open tomb; they flatter with their tongue. Pronounce them guilty, O God! Let them fall by their own counsels; cast them out in the multitude of their transgression, for they have rebelled against You. But let all those rejoice who put their trust in You; let them ever shout for joy, because You defend them; let those also who love Your name be joyful in You. For You, O LORD, will bless the righteous with favor You will surround him as with a shield. Psalm 5:8-12. O Lord, we are so thankful for Your care of Congressman Scalese, that you’ve blessed him and surrounded as with a shield. The enemies are rampant, so God, we pray for constant protection for Your servant as he serves You and works righteousness in Washington. Please give him much wisdom and discernment as he confronts the enemies and works hard for Americans who want to be free of tyranny, and have healthy and safe children and families. God, Please bless Congressman Scalese mightily. In Jesus Name, Amen
