Senator Cruz joins Rev. Rob Schenck (from Faith and Action) and Rev. Frazier White (a Democrat) in prayer for Saeed Abedini, a Christian who has been held and tortured in an Iranian prison for over a year for the crime of proselytizing.
With all the showboating and carefully chosen stances going on in D.C. right now, it’s nice to see a politician going to his knees in prayer for something bigger than a budget. I wish many other elected officials would join him there and raise some attention to the plight of persecuted Christians.

Wouldn't it be nice if people were praying about the budget? No one will die if the government shuts down this week, but unsustainable spending and Obamacare will profoundly affect the lives of millions in time.

“And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full. 6 But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.
