Jonathan Roumie Calls America Back to Prayer
'The Chosen' actor references nation's 250th birthday
As Americans prepare to celebrate the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, it needs prayer more than ever.
“For 250 years, we have endeavored to be one nation under God, indivisible with liberty and justice,” actor Jonathan Roumie from “The Chosen” said during last weekend’s Rededicate 250 event in Washington, D.C. “May we be that nation once more. May we rededicate ourselves to all that the Lord is calling us to these next 250 years, and may we — the citizens of the United States of America — never cease praying for our leaders, for each other, for our nation and for the world.”
Roumie has spent the past eight years in his role as Jesus and for the past six years has been a spokesperson for the Hallow prayer app. “If God hands you the assignment of portraying on a global stage his own son, the savior of the world, the alpha and omega, the great I Am, and you do not have faith — Lord help you,” he said, according to “Crosswalk Headlines.”

Roumie said prayer is vital not only for those in the spotlight but essential for every American, both for their own spiritual lives and for the future of the nation.
“He wants the prayers of all of his children, because that’s who we are,” he said. “We are his, and he is ours, whether you realize it or maybe not yet. Our existence on earth is merely a rest stop between the mortal and the immortal, the earthly and the divine. God has always been there long before us. He always will be — now and forever, world without end.”
Faith was at the core of the nation’s founding and is essential to its future, Roumie said.
“At the heart of the vision for what America could be was faith — faith in God, faith in liberty and faith in the seemingly impossible task of building a nation,” he said. “The founding fathers’ belief in the American experiment, fortified by their faith in God, formed the bedrock of a virtuous people and proved that this noble endeavor was not only imaginable but achievable against all odds.”
