Among them: Christian singer Anne Wilson, a performer who typically doesn’t speak about politics and feels it’s not her “place” to do so.
But the attempted assassination compelled Wilson to deliver a powerful proclamation to her fans — one that led her to passionately speak about the need for humility and prayer.
“I have my platform to focus on the hope of Jesus and leading others to HIM through music,” Wilson wrote on Instagram. “However, sometimes there are moments that call for speaking out. The tragedy that took place this weekend was one of those moments.”
Wilson said she was “shocked, heartbroken, disturbed and angry” after hearing about the attempted assassination and “felt hopeless” as she pondered the state of the world.
“What happened this weekend was despicable,” she continued. “It is pure evil. No president should ever be in that situation. My pastor said it best in yesterday’s sermon, ‘politics are secondary to our relationship with God.’ No matter what your political beliefs are, as Christians we are called to pray in situations like this.”

Wilson said prayer isn’t a mere suggestion, but an expectation by God. Thus, she implored believers to humble themselves before the Lord and pray.
