Utah religious leaders are being urged to lead their congregations in prayer this weekend, specifically asking God to help those struggling with suicidal behavior or whose lives have been touched by suicide.
The nondenominational effort is part of the National Weekend of Prayer for Faith, Hope and Life. It also is a call for residents to reach out, listen and be kind to others, Lt. Gov. Spencer Cox said at a new conference Friday.
Cox was joined by a diverse group of religious leaders — including a Baptist minster, chaplains from the Utah National Guard and LeGrand R.
