I don't think I would ever have believed that it would turn out to be this different. But it is.<br /><br />As you and some of your commenters have said, we do need a call to repentance and prayer. If the church (the body of Christ) had not become so much like the world, then maybe the outcome would've been better.carlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04346285464750146290noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32960314.post-29035811422584947112010-07-05T01:46:26.285-04:002010-07-05T01:46:26.285-04:00Yes I checked and it was Charles Stanley of In Tou...Yes I checked and it was Charles Stanley of In Touch Ministries who preached this morning about this natioin and praying for it. I went on his sight http://www.intouch.org/ and he had a place where I believe you could even listen to what he said. This nation is in a slide and shifting and I do not feel good about it. God though, Never changes.

He too believes it is moving in the wrong direction. He too believes prayer is the answer. I do too. We can do many things too, but God is still on the throan and He still hears our prayers. As a nation we all need to pray daily earnestly for our country and leaders as well as we do for family and friends and situations. We find time to talk about our concerns and fears for our country...so we know we have time to pray also for Him to change these factors and have mercy on our nation. We need to fall on our knees and ask forgiveness. I too know how we used to be and it is hard to believe but some young people cannot even remember how we used to be different. I tear up easily over this beautiful country and never imagined this wonderful country would have leaders who tell other leaders how bad we are etc. Who don't seem proud of all American has ment and done for the world. Of our history or its founders. We have never been perfect but we strived to do right. Leaders who want to change our very nature, to turn us little by little into the countries that we so despised during the Cold War. Are we living now in a paralel universe and the real America is out there someplace ?...some days I actually wonder.

Our church service today was about praying for this country which is in deep trouble. It's amazing how many people sense the malaise, feel the anxiety about the whole general state of things. Prayer is the answer. It is such an "aha" moment to read your post today and match it with the message I heard at church - one and the same message.Susan Humestonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14374042568634619411noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32960314.post-85650942056653253972010-07-04T13:16:31.195-04:002010-07-04T13:16:31.195-04:00Amen, Brenda!
