Following the recent Texas church shooting where 26 people lost their lives and 20 more were injured. House Speaker Paul Ryan has asked the people to be strong and seek the face of God through prayers which led to a number of people mocking the line of communication with God.
The 45 year old country singer has replied the critics with a Facebook post which he named “Stop Mocking ‘Prayer.'”
“I’m sure you are fed up with people mocking prayer, Prayer … is our direct line of communication to God. If you don’t believe in God, then that’s your business, but don’t mock me if I pray.” He stated.
The multi awarding winning artist also recalled how prayers help him survived when he was a kid saying:
“Many times as a kid I remember praying for food. I remember praying that, ‘I hope that this bully does not kick my tail again today’ and the fear of getting on and off of that school bus, the fear of walking classroom to classroom, To hear people mock prayer — I don’t even know how to put it in words. It really makes me mad.”
