Christian singer Lauren Daigle released a powerful, strongly worded statement on Wednesday, calling Americans to prayer and fasting in the wake of Charlie Kirk’s assassination.
Daigle, who posted her lengthy statement via images on Instagram, said she’s committing to reading Scripture on social media and praying with fans throughout the remainder of September.

The singer held little back in her reaction to Kirk’s death and the tragic social media response.
“It’s horrific that our country is in such a polarized state that we believe the ruthless killing of someone is greater than sorting out disagreements,” Daigle said. “What have we become? Is this barbaric behavior what our forefathers gave their lives for?”
The “You Say” singer questioned what is happening in America and reminded fans that the real battle isn’t one between human beings. Instead, it’s spiritual.
“It’s not party against party,” Daigle said. “We are in a spiritual battle. Good versus evil. Light versus dark — ‘For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.’”
