Prayer For America


I can not believe that tomorrow is the day we will be FINALLY voting for the next president of the US. Amidst the many commericals, debates, news reports, and polls, I am positive that I am ready for it to all be over. EXCEPT.....
My heart is burdened for the direction that the nation is taking. It seems like we are headed straight away from God and his will for our nation. I literally have been sick at my stomach wondering if this is the beginning of the end. The only recurring thing that filters through my mind is this scripture from the OT:

II 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.

No matter who wins tomorrow, It is imperative that we as christians make prayer for this county a priority. Praying for God's mercy on the sinfulness that we have as a nation. Praying that God will heal our nation of our apathy, and our embracing of this sinful culture. We consistently miss the mark, and we need His presence to get us back on track.

Pray. Pray. Pray.
It's our perscription for healing!
