I am praying for America

Dear America,

I am praying for you today. My prayer comes from 2 Chronicles 7:14 - "if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land."

As we celebrated your 234th birthday this week thoughts of early American life, the American Dream and the reality of American today washed over me like a cold winter ocean wave. You have come a long way since those days of the revolution but I wonder today if we've gone too far. It is too late to re-establish the principles, morals and values that made this a great nation? Have we traded in our right to Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness to be tolerant and politically correct.

So my prayer for you America is: Dear Heavenly Father, I call on your name today for my wonderful country America. She is a beautiful country Lord fill with some many wonders. Her people are the most spectacular in all the world. But she needs your help Lord. Her people are forgetting their roots, their ancestors, their beginnings. Her people are mighty and wonderful but they are losing their way. They have allowed tolerance and fear keep them from taking a stand for their country and their way of life. America is still the best country in the world but I fear she is faltering. Lord, please hears these cries for help for America and her people. For her leaders in government and in the churches who should be asking for your guidance and directing the people in your ways. For her workers who can't find jobs and her children who are struggling to get a safe education. America is in desperate need of your healing, protection, direction and most of all your forgiveness. Lord, once again reach out your hands of blessing upon this great nation and help her to regain the strength to be the Godly nation and world leader that you created her to be. I ask these in the name of your holy Son Jesus Christ - Amen.
