President Obama says He Prays "all the time now"

Aimee Herd (July 29, 2009)

"This is something where you just hope that you are aligning your work with His purposes, and that you're attuned to the needs of the people you're there to serve."

In a recent Nightline interview, President Obama told ABC News' Terry Moran that his prayer habits have intensified since taking office, and that he prays "all the time now."
