Declare a National Day of Prayer for Covid19

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

To declare a National Day of prayer against the Covid 19 Virus.
We have seen this in America but we have also seen a rising up of the church across social media platforms. However all we see is panic and talk of this having years of affects. The only thing that will change this is God. The Bible has stories of similar things and when people turned to God things changed.

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.
