National Day of Prayer ~ May 6th

 

Sometimes I am amazed what travels around the internet. This piece was sent to me and I thought it would be a good piece to share with you ~

 

We are speeding towards one world government and the second coming at a rapid pace. I remember reading about the children of Israel who turned from God time and time again, only to realize their mistake and pray for forgiveness. Each time God would forgive them and they

would walk with him for a time. So, I am going to ask you to join me in praying for our Nation everyday. God is in control. The President did not encourage participation in the National Day of Prayer. He called it an event. He thinks it should be private prayer instead of Public Prayer.

May God have mercy on America and protect our troops. In Texarkana last week, there were signs in people’s yards that read: “America: Prayer, our only hope” with 2 Chronicles 7:14 underneath. We certainly need God’s help!

 

I have no idea who started this, but I certainly agree with its message. A preacher on TV said that if we pray for our nation, things will turn around. After a day of contemplation and soul searching, I have decided to reach out to you about something that has been troubling me.

Our nation has been on the slippery slope for quite some time. If you look around you, you will find corruption, greed, moral decay and a steady move away from things that made us great. The principles upon which this nation were founded are no longer our backbone. However, we can reverse this trend.

 

2 Chronicles 7:14 states: 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 I will hear from Heaven and will forgive their sin and heal their land.” I am convinced that we must pray for our Nation and its

leaders and ask for forgiveness. So I ask you to join me in this plea to our Lord. Would you please ask your friends to pray everyday? If we each ask 25 people to pray once per day for a whole week … can you imagine how many prayers that would be? 25 to only the 5th power would yield 9,765, 625 prayers lifted up to our Creator. He will hear us and, in faith, will answer us.

 

Let me just add a quote by Ronald Reagan: “If we ever forget that we are one nation under God, then we will be a nation gone under.” I truly believe that this is why the USA is in the shape we are in today. Most people have forgotten that we are one nation under God! Let us as Christians stand up and remind people of this!
