Declaring a day for prayer in UK (Coronavirus)

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

This coronavirus has taken over our lives. A helpless situation for all. Everything we hold dear is slipping away. The dark clouds of fear and uncertainty enveloping us. The human race vanishing like a vapour.
All measures or strategy fruitless. Mankind’s desperation.
Let us look on our creator.
The creator who made human race. When a equipment broken it is fixed by the manufacturer. God created human race and only He has solution. He is the one capable to save us in this situation

So let us take time to kneel before our God Almighty.

As 2 Chronicles:7:14 says, “ if My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land“.

Why it was rejected

It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.

This would be a matter for religious institutions, not the UK Government or Parliament.
