The Rev. Franklin Graham is calling America to prayer, imploring Christians and citizens more broadly to turn back to the Lord and appeal to Him to help heal the United States.
Amid rampant social dysfunction that has Graham concerned, the famous evangelist told CBN News in a recent interview he’s also been “thrilled” to see the younger generation “beginning to search for God.”
“They’ve been left cold by education, and … many churches have quit even giving invitations and preaching the Gospel,” Graham said. “And so there’s a lot of young people out there that are searching, looking. I’m glad they are — and I hope they get into the Word of God, get into the Bible.”

He went on to say that he doesn’t see Scripture predicting a great revival during the end times, despite some of the positive faith trajectories society is currently witnessing.
“I see things are going to get bad and go from bad to worse as we get closer to the end times,” Graham said. “I think we’re seeing that. But, at the same time, you have things like Charlie Kirk, who had a political platform, but as he got closer and closer to the end of his life, he was saying he is nothing without Jesus.”
He continued, “He was standing and stronger on his faith in Jesus Christ, and we saw, at his memorial, what, 100,000 people were there, and they estimated like 100 million were watching.”
