Akufo-Addo requests prayers for both Ghana and himself.

has begged the Anglican Church to pray for him and the country.

He said that while a Christian may frequently be tempted to let hardships define them, victory is always assured through prayer.

The President offered the prayer on January 10 at the Jubilee House during the 2nd Presidential Eucharistic New Year Service, which was led by the Anglican Church.

The inaugural service took place last year, and President Akufo-Addo promised two more before leaving office.

Speaking to the congregation, the President emphasized Ghana's promising future and insisted that the nation's brightest days are still to come.

"Let me restate my conviction that the best days for mother Ghana lie ahead of us if we act in a spirit of fairness, diligence, integrity, and reconciliation.

“Even though we are presently confronted with difficulties in our economic performance, I do not doubt our collective resolve – as I said on 6th January – to work our way from these challenges and put our nation back onto the path of progress and prosperity.”

It is in this confidence that President Akufo-Addo asked for prayers from the Anglican Church.

“Let me in conclusion plead strongly with the church to bear the nation and me continually up in prayers. As God’s children we may be tempted to allow struggles to define our worth, however, our ultimate victory is guaranteed. We may stumble along the way but we will always – as Romans 8 says – be more than conquerors.”

The President also used the opportunity to congratulate the nation once again on the 30th anniversary of constitutional rule in the Fourth Republic.
