Pray for Ted Cruz

The New York Times reports Sen. Ted Cruz has created a “national prayer team” for his presidential campaign.

Cruz, who has aggressively courted the support of evangelicals, said the creation of the team would “establish a direct line of communication between our campaign and the thousands of Americans who are lifting us up before the Lord.”

“Group members will receive emails containing prayer requests and a short devotional every week, the campaign said. They will also be invited to take part in a 20-minute ‘prayer conference call’ each Tuesday.”
