Tennessee’s governor issued a proclamation this week that acknowledges “God’s sovereignty,” seeks forgiveness for “our many transgressions” and invites citizens of the state to pray and fast for God’s guidance.

It was the third such proclamation from Gov. Bill Lee, who was inaugurated two years ago and issued a similar “Day of Prayer, Humility, and Fasting” proclamation in 2019 and 2020.

This year’s Day of Prayer, Humility, and Fasting was held Monday.

I signed a proclamation to dedicate tomorrow, October 11, as a Day of Prayer & Fasting. I invite all Tennesseans to join Maria & me as we pause to acknowledge our blessings, seek God’s guidance for our state & ask Him for healing, grace & favor for the days ahead. pic.twitter.com/KWUrPIJr35
