Lord, we thank You for each person who comes to this thread and makes a commitment to faithfully pray and intercede for America and ask You to bless them in Jesus’ Name....amen

There have been several times in our history when events took place that seemed beyond our control, that things were in motion that offered only a dark future. I would imagine the days after Dec. 7 1941 were like that, also the beginning days of the Civil War as the country split apart. Glued to our TV's all day on 9/11, we had no idea what 9/12 would bring.

Yet, thru it all, God's Hand was there as He brought forward men of courage and valor to lead us. We turned to Him, and He reminded us He was with us and in control.

Events of the past year or so have been quite disturbing, as we watch folks who should never have them acquire (or strive towards getting) nuclear weapons. We watch in amazement and sorrow as more and more people in America and the world turn their backs on the Lord and seek to erase Him from the face of the earth. And we see our leaders emphasize that all we need to do is put our trust, faith and hope in THEM and everything will be ok.

All of this convinces me personally that the time of Christ's return is growing ever so nearer and we should prepare ourselves. Not to cower, but to preach. Not to worry, but to rejoice. And to pray always.

Father, be with this nation as we struggle to hold on to what is right, against the tide that pushes against us and seeks to silence us. We ask for the strength to continue the fight and be shining cities on hilltops, until the triumphant return of Your Son and our Savior, Jesus.

"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."

Powerful passage, powerful message.
