Did You Know the GOP Convention Has a Prayer Room? It Is Very, Very Shiny

A peculiar place, the RNC official prayer room is located at the very top of the convention center. The room is well marked but comically located between concession stands. Approximately the size of a cubicle, the room is heavily lit and is punctuated by a stainless steel that lines the walls, sharply reflecting the florescent lighting. The glare is accented by seven metal chairs facing a plastic table with a single open Bible on top. The Bible, is open to Proverbs 3 and the first verse visible is:

Trust in the Lord with all your heart
and lean not on your own understanding;
⁶in all your ways submit to him,
and he will make your paths straight.

An RNC official told TheBlaze that the room is meant for the courtesy of the convention attendees.

“Some delegates have strong religious beliefs and need a quiet place to pray and reflect,” the official said. Will the far off room get much use? The official does not know. Shrugging his shoulders he says, “It is a courtesy you probably wont get at the DNC.”

With the Hurricane just missing Tampa it seems like some convention prayers may have already been answered. Now more are needed for New Orleans.

In CONTROL, Glenn Beck presents a passionate, fact-based case for guns that reveals why gun control isn’t really about controlling guns at all; it’s about controlling us. Find out more HERE.

Who needs a Prayer Room? One can pray anywhere, anytime, OH. and you should confess you sins to get in sync with God, so that your prayers get above the celing!

  SERIOUSLY you need to shut your pie hole
  
  Matthew 6:6 But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.

I appreciate it anytime someone makes the Bible available for all people – to read and reflect on His word. Now get ready for the complaints – it’s not politically correct, some people are offended…

  I am a TB Lightning season ticket holder and my seats are not far from that room, it is used as a sports memorabilia stand. Looks like they took out all the stuff and just put up a curtain in front of the entrance. If you look on floor you will see team logo.Area is about 10×12 feet. The walls are designed to hang shelves and hangers from. This is not a “specially” set up room, sure it was just put there as a courtesy.

God raises up the humble and takes down the proud. We need God’s help. I’m thankful Mitt Romney is living this TRUTH so God can and will raise him up!

  mitt romney is a cult member who teaches another gospel – NO ONE should be happy having to vote for him if you are a born again HOLY SPIRIT filled Christian.

Is that a picture of Mitt praying conservatives don’t discover that he is throwing them under the bus today?

  Obviously you have never seen a “Mormon” temple room. They don’t contract the lowest bidder to build their temples; rather, they use the best materials along with employing the best contractors.

I hope the Republican delegates are smart enough not to visit the local Tampa strip clubs. I am sure MSNBC and others have cameras waiting 24/7 to capture any delegates on tape and contrast that with this prayer room.

  No worries. It appears terminal a-hole, Occupy supporter, and whoremonger Joe Redner is bleeding money.

  I hope he loses a ton of money.
  
  All you need to know about this douchebag is that he owns nearly every sex-oriented business in town, one of his prostitute daughter’s been charged (in 2008) with criminal transmission of HIV. Another daughter and his ex-wife are convicted prostitutes (who work together). A simple bing search of “joe Redner daughter” will verify all you need to see.
  
  Oh, then there’s this: my church spoke out against him opening a strip club less than 2 miles from our campus. He spent an entire day boycotting us outside the church spouting hateful language, replying to “God bless you” with “Joe says F-k you” (not surprisingly, he’s an Atheist), and literally spitting in the faces of people who volunteered to bring him some water.
  
  The man is Satan-spawn.

That is what make us different from liberals. We, conservatives, need to turn America back to God. Away from evil.

Just dawned on me –

ANY of you guys out there have an “in” at the RNC convention – text a Conservative and pass the word – Have them ALL cheer “PRESIDENT RYAN!” when he steps up on the stage. If THAT doesn‘t chill Romney’s uncontrollable urge to pacify the McCain wing of the Repubs, nothing will. PASS THE WORD!

  LOL. Now that’s really FUNNY!!! Watching party line Romney voters eat their own is priceless.
  
  Romney and the RNC are doing “serious business” by stealing the peoples inclusion in the delegation process.
  
  One needs to go join OWS for acting like an idiot by showing his understanding of the Chicago style campaign they are running. The other is deciding to remain an idiot.

This is a very nice contrast to the article I just read about the DNC dedicating two hours for muslim prayers. The choices have never been clearer. Choose between constitutional government or marxism/progressivism/liberalism/shariaism. Please make the right choice Nov. 6!!

  Indeed. With the differences between the Tea Party and OWS as apparent as the ones between Middle earth and Mordor in the Lord of the Rings, who needs Hollywood? Look around yourself for a tale between two diametrically opposed forces battling one another.

  Mitt Romney is bowing his head to Satan and praying for a victory over mankind’s freedom. If you believe Romney is a conservative you are in a sad confused state of mind. This man has dirt all over himself. He and the RNC are at this very moment removing the people from the delegation process and replacing them with hand picked delegates chosen by the RNC.
  
  It would be much safer for you to put your faith in God. Do not put it behind this man because he is in this for himself. The RNC is playing you all like a fiddle and its shameful to yourselves and painful for the rest of us to watch.

  Prayer needs a private and quiet room, made only for you and God.
  Human matters, like the ones you are asking for, MUST be taken in the public arena, out in the stage of the RNC, on the campaign trail, in every town hall meeting and in Congress.

Good for the RNC. It’s a nice option for those that desire it.
The DNC will probably have a room for drinking, smoking, or maybe a few “girls” for company.
