During the salam Oregon protest, there was a man called the prayer man who was at the protest who was going to be there from sunrise to sunset just praying. He was the only one there who was praying in front of the capital during the protest. He said “I committed to god to be here today no matter what.” he was praying to get the energy out there into the world. He thought that God sent him to the capital to be there for a purpose.
He couldn’t see the big picture but he was doing what was asked from god. The prayer man thought that it was important to have a relationship with God. “ men are not perfect” he said. He said that because you have to rely on your own dependent. The prayer man thought that if you have a relationship with God then you know when people are deceiving you and being misleading towards you.
The prayer man thought that mobs aren’t apart of christ because christ is a small voice, not a big voice that everybody hears. The prayer man was praying for the peace of the country so we are not divided by hate and fear. “ the united states is a united body.” the prayer man’s family was on the pay flower. Apart from the Minnesota cowboys, he was also part of Cherokee and some of his family were the first Mormons that were in the united states.
Before the prayer man was at the capital god told him what to bring to the protest and that was candles and the American flag and God told him what to do during the protest. He fasted for a few prior to the protest. The prayer man was there from sunrise to sunset just praying in front of the capital,
The prayer man wasn’t there for himself he was there for god to help people heal from this hate and fear that has been happening in the country. He wanted to concentrate the ground of the capital so people who would stand on the ground of the capital would feel peace. All the prayer man wanted was to bring peace.
