Cry Out For America

1 Then Jesus told his disciples a parable to show them that they should always pray and not give up.  2 He said: "In a certain town there was a judge who neither feared God nor cared about men.  3 And there was a widow in that town who kept coming to him with the plea, 'Grant me justice against my adversary.'   4 "For some time he refused. But finally he said to himself, 'Even though I don't fear God or care about men,  5 yet because this widow keeps bothering me, I will see that she gets justice, so that she won't eventually wear me out with her coming!' "  6 And the Lord said, "Listen to what the unjust judge says. 7 And will not God bring about justice for his chosen ones, who cry out to him day and night? Will he keep putting them off?  8 I tell you, he will see that they get justice, and quickly. However, when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on the earth?"  Luke 18:1-8 (New International Version)

 

Tomorrow has been designated as a day of prayer for America.  It is certainly apparent that we are living in very critical times.  Decisions have been made and continue to be made that will affect our nation for many years to come.  There is a great need for persistent and consistent prayer.  Will you join with us in this time of prayer for our nation?  Each of us need to find time to pray whether we participate in a time of corporate prayer in our communities or in our local churches.  You may live in a community that is not conducting a time of prayer or your local church may have chosen not to participate in a time of corporate prayer but that does not have to be a hindrance to you spending time in prayer.  You can find a place of solitary prayer, call out to God, and let Him know that you are placing your trust in Him.  Is God finding faith in the modern day church or have we become a church that is more motivated by works than we are trusting God?  We are being called to trust God in the midst of our adversaries as well as in the midst of our difficulties.  Take a moment and leave a comment if you plan on praying for America on 9-11-12.  Let us come together in agreement and cry out for the soul of our natiion.  God will hear the cry of His people!

 

9-11-12 also affords us the opportunity to remember the innocent victims that lost their lives at the hands of the terrorists.  9-11-12 also allows us to remember those men and women of our Military Force that place themselves in harms way on a daily basis.  We possess the right and the freedom to pray because of these brave individuals.  We can celebrate the goodness of God as we reflect on His blessings to each of us.
