Rev. Samuel Rodriguez, pastor of New Season Church in California and president of the National Hispanic Christian Leadership Conference, urged all Christians to "fall to our knees and pray."

"We pray for our leaders that God would give them clarity and wisdom. We pray that Iran's leaders would abandon terror once and for all," Rodriguez said in a statement shared with The Christian Post. "We pray for the protection of innocent families in Iran, Israel and across the region. Ultimately, we pray for peace in the Middle East."

He also thanked Trump for acknowledging God following the strikes.

"I am extremely grateful that the president of the United States of America finished his address to the nation by affirming love for God and asking for his sovereign protection," he stated. 

Rodriguez insisted that now is the time for Christians to stand boldly for their faith.

"May the Church stand united for such a time as this," he said. "We pray God brings unity where there is hurt and that He would bring hope to a broken world."
