The resolution acknowledges the foundational role of Judeo-Christian values in the establishment of Alabama and the United States, emphasizing the importance of religious freedom as enshrined in both the U.S. and Alabama constitutions. It expresses gratitude for the blessings and resources that Alabama has received from Providence, while also recognizing the challenges faced by its citizens, including issues of corruption, violence, addiction, and the need for strong family structures. The resolution calls for a commitment to uphold these values and to seek divine guidance in addressing societal issues.
To this end, the resolution designates the period from September 1 to September 30 each year as a time for prayer and fasting in Alabama. It encourages citizens to seek forgiveness for their shortcomings and to ask for God's intervention in removing corruption, violence, and addiction, while also restoring families and fostering unity within the state. The resolution invites those who are able and spiritually inclined to participate in this annual observance, aiming for a transformation of communities, the state, and the nation through collective prayer and humility before God.
