Bill > SCR604

This concurrent resolution urges the people of South Dakota to dedicate the month of July each year to prayer and fasting, seeking divine healing and mercy from "the Lord Most High," a term referring to God. The resolution, which is a formal expression of opinion from both the South Dakota Senate and House of Representatives, emphasizes the historical reliance on Providence and Judeo-Christian values in the founding of the United States and South Dakota. It acknowledges societal challenges such as corruption, violence, addiction, mental illness, broken families, and harmful cultural tendencies, attributing these issues to a departure from divine principles. By engaging in prayer and fasting, the resolution calls for repentance, forgiveness, and a renewed commitment to God's guidance to foster healing, unity, and righteousness within the state and its people.
