Idaho Officials Appreciate Prayer

Item: Prayer Breakfast: Idaho’s elected officials show they appreciate the power of prayer /Ralph Speer, Idaho Statesman guest column

More Info: It was also splendid to see two old Idaho political lions, Govs. Otter and Cecil Andrus, address each other playfully in political terms but agree spiritually, especially on the need for prayer. It was also remarkable to see unfolded for all in attendance the huge importance our own Gov. Andrus had in shaping the history of prayer breakfasts, including the National Prayer Breakfast. When he was appointed as Jimmy Carter’s secretary of interior, Andrus was pleased to meet Doug Coe, who had been working diligently with small groups of elected officials in Washington, D.C. The National Prayer Breakfasts really began in earnest after a brief meeting Coe had with former President Dwight Eisenhower.

Question: Do you believe that praying to a higher power has an impact?
