What the petition asks

The aim of this petition is to call upon the government to invite her Majesty the Queen to lead the Nation in a day of Prayer the same way King George V and King George VI did. In order to ask Almighty God to forgive the sins of the Nation in humility, and end the war on terror.

During World War 1 the British army was in trouble and over 300000 French troops had been killed, Paris was within the grasp of the German Army. King George the V called a National day of Prayer. The Germans were stopped by the British Army with rumours of an intervention of an angel on the battlefield. 3 months before the War ended King George V called another day of prayer at St. Margaret’s Westminster both houses of Parliament in attendance. The tide turned and the war ended 3 months later.
