Gov. Stitt Declares Statewide Day Of Prayer, Fasting For Oklahomans Affected By COVID-19

Governor Kevin Stitt has declared December 3 as a statewide Day of Prayer and Fasting for Oklahomans affected by the COVID-19 pandemic.

“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 Gov. 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.”

Governor Stitt also encouraged houses of worship to continue taking COVID-19 precautions in order to help slow the spread of the virus.

“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 Gov. 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.”
