Tired of hearing about coronavirus 'thoughts and prayers'? Here's why it's important

President Donald Trump's spiritual advisor Paula White told David Brody, host of The Pod's Honest Truth, that Americans should not be criticized for turning to prayer to get through the coronavirus pandemic.
"In times of crisis, people care about prayer," she said.
Trump last week declared a National Day of Prayer for those affected by the coronavirus pandemic.
"Let us pray that all those affected by the virus will feel the presence of our Lord’s protection and love during this time. With God’s help, we will overcome this threat," he said in a release.
As Trump’s coronavirus task force was preparing to release a set of guidelines aimed at slowing the spread of the disease in the U.S., some criticized the president saying prayers and blessings were all well and good, but that more was need to speed up their response.

White stressed it didn't mean that jobs were neglected.
"Those of us of faith understand, faith without works is dead. We don’t sit around and tittle our thumbs but we also recognize that something are bigger than us."
