Governor Kevin Stitt has declared for Thursday, December 3, 2020, to be a statewide day of “prayer and fasting” for all Oklahomans affected by the COVID-19 pandemic.
This comes as hospitalizations have reached record levels, infection rates are rising and deaths crossed the 1,700 mark in Oklahoma.
“Oklahomans have always turned to prayer to guide us through trials and seasons of uncertainty, and I am asking Oklahomans of all faiths and religious backgrounds to join together with me on Thursday,” said Stitt.
“I believe we must continue to ask God to heal those who are sick, comfort those who are hurting and provide renewed strength and wisdom to all who are managing the effects of COVID-19.”
Stitt also is asking houses of worship to continue taking precautions to slow the spread of COVID-19 within their congregations.
“I believe our churches and faith communities have an incredible opportunity during this season to provide hope to Oklahomans who are struggling as we close a year that has been mentally, emotionally and physically draining,” said Stitt.
“It’s important that we continue to find safe ways to gather as we all do our part to protect our families, neighbors and communities from this virus.”
