Praying for America

Today, we, as Christians in America, are facing the scariest election in the history of our country. From the indication of all the political polls, Christians are NOT voting or planning to vote for Christian and family values, but rather are getting caught up in the hype of change. We have read the Word of God and have heard it preached from our pulpits; yet, we have not taken a stand for life; we have looked the other way in not standing against homosexual and gay rights for marriage; and we have abandoned our rights to free speech regarding our faith and our rights to train and discipline our children according to God’s infallible laws.

In 2 Chronicles 7:14, God appeared to Solomon in the night and told him, “ If my people who are called by my name humble themselves, and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sins and heal their land.”

God has said the He will heal our land, but do we really believe His word and are we ready to take ownership of this land as His people? Are you called by His name….are you a Christian; then, my brothers and sisters in Christ, its time to get down to business … by getting down on your knees before Jehovah God? It is time to pray and seek His face if we truly believe that God will keep His promise.

We need God’s healing on this troubled land and we, those called by His name, need to lead by example. No more lip service, no more playing church, no more hypocrisy….honest humility before our Lord God ….seekers of the divine and infallible truth that is in Christ Jesus …repentant hearts that seek to do God’s will….and never-ceasing PRAYER….. IF WE DO OUR PART, HE IS ALWAYS FAITHFUL TO DO HIS PART.

We are blessed beyond measure, even with all that is wrong in our country; yet, how much longer will God withhold his judgment and spare us the fruits of our labor. As a nation that prints his name on our money, we have little regard for the holy name of Jehovah. It is time that we take back America and give God the honor due him. Let’s not wait …let’s start today…let’s lead the way.

During WWII, there was an advisor to Winston Churchill who organized a group of people to drop what they where doing every night at a prescribed hour. At that time, they were to spend one minute to collectively pray for the safety of England, its people and peace. This had an amazing effect for the bombing soon stopped.

There is now a group in America that is organizing to do the same thing as citizens of the USA collectively pray each evening at 9 PM eastern, 8 PM central, 7 PM mountain and 6 PM Pacific. Join us at that time as we, in one accord, beseech our Father to protect our country, our citizens and our military troops across the globe. Pray for peace in the world, for wisdom and courage for our leaders, for the upcoming elections and all that hangs in its balance…and most of all, PRAY FOR AMERICA….to once again, turn from her wicked ways and BE HEALED…that we may once again be know as “the land of the free and the home of the brave” and that we will truly become “ONE NATION, UNDER GOD, INDIVISIBLE ….WITH LIBERTY AND JUSTICE FOR ALL.”


Poem for today….Our Prayer:

Father, we beseech thee, to heal our country’soul Grant us your forgiveness; touch us, make us whole.
May we be found faithfully in all we do and say;
Hear us, Heavenly Father, in you Holy name, we pray…..


God Bless America….land of the Free and the home of the Brave.
