At White House press conference, he urges American famlies to turn to God.
President Trump and members of his administration have involved business leaders in nearly every aspect of its response to the pandemic, leaning heavily on private-public partnerships to respond to the virus. Many of the business leaders who have been quick to respond attended the coronavirus task force press briefing at the White House Rose Garden on Monday.
Among those the president introduced were the leaders of Honeywell, Jockey, Procter & Gamble, United Technologies, and the “My Pillow” guy, Mike Lindell. The president beckoned the executives to the lectern to say a few words about their efforts, and most did with polite accolades and brief summaries of steps their companies are taking to assist in the fight against the virus.
Mike Lindell went further. After explaining how his companiy was dedicating three-fourths of its manufacturing capabilities to produce cotton face masks for health care workers, he sought and received permission to add a few words “off the cuff.”
“God gave us grace on November 8, 2016, to change the course we were on,” he said, referring to the date President Trump was elected. “Taken out of our schools and lives, a nation had turned its back on God.”
He then offered advice to families stuck at home because of various social-distancing guidelines. “I encourage you to use this time at home to get back in the Word, read our Bibles, and spend time with our families.”
“Our president gave us so much hope,” he continued. “Where just a few short months ago, we had the best economy, the lowest unemployment, and wages going up, it was amazing. With our great president, vice president and this administration and all the great people in this country praying daily, we will get through this and get back to a place that’s stronger and safer than ever.”
As the Lord Leads, Pray with Us…
- For men and women like Mike Lindell who are strong in their stands for the Lord during these times of crisis.
- For Americans to take to heart the message of praying daily, spending time in God’s word, and enjoying life with their families.
