Sen. Scott Hosts 14th Annual Prayer Breakfast

WASHINGTON — U.S. Senator Tim Scott (R-S.C.) today hosted the 14th Annual South Carolina Prayer Breakfast, joined by Senator James Lankford (R-Okla.), Senate Chaplain Barry Black, the South Carolina congressional delegation, and hundreds of South Carolinians. Senator Scott focused his remarks on the theme of Proverbs 13:12: “Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but a desire fulfilled is a tree of life.”

Watch the full remarks from Senator Scott and all the speakers here.

“I talked a lot about hope deferred makes the heart sick, because it does, but a longing fulfilled is a tree of life. The really good news about this is that the longer it takes, the sweeter it is. Sometimes it takes a very long time for us to be able to see the fruit on the tree,” said Senator Scott.

“Tilling the soil takes time and it is hard. Breaking up tough ground is hard. It’s even harder when it’s you, and all of us have areas that are hardened from pain, hardened from misery, hardened from challenges, hardened by life. But the good news is He is more than able to meet you where you are,” he continued.
