At First Liberty Institute, we believe every American has the right to pray—in their home, in their house of worship, at school, or in public. We also believe that prayer has power.
America’s First Congress opened with a prayer in 1789, a practice that continues to this day. Local governments in states, counties, and towns around America follow suit, opening official proceedings with a prayer. It’s not uncommon for school mornings and even major public events to begin with a moment of silence, affording individuals the opportunity to pray.
Prayer in America, however, is more than a formal invocation.
Fifty-five percent of Americans claim that prayer is a part of their daily life. * When tragedies strike our communities, we join hands with our neighbors across the nation in prayer for the victims and their families. And when Americans come together in prayer—joined in reverent unity and backed by a national heritage that esteems its potential—powerful things take place.
At First Liberty, prayer is integral to our ability to protect religious liberty for all Americans. If you are someone who believes in the power of prayer, we invite you to stand with us, praying for:
- Our cases
- Our clients
- Our staff
- Our volunteer attorneys
- Our supporters
- Religious liberty for all in America—and around the world.

The work of protecting freedom for all Americans is something we couldn’t do alone at First Liberty Institute. Thanks to friends like you who choose to stand with us in prayer, we don’t have to.
