Happy July 4th

Today is a rainy, possibly stormy day in Louisville. Kentucky. Our nation celebrates its 240th Birthday. Our history books are full of examples in which our nation faced some "stormy" days. But it was at those times that God would raise up "patriots", or "spiritual leaders", or just everyday normal people who would become "heroes" in a cause that was bigger than themselves. We are in need of men and women of this caliber today who will rise above the fray and realize that there is a cause that is greater than our egotistical approach to life. We must not allow this  narcissistic, self-engrossed, self seeking and self-absorbed approach to life become the "Trojan horse" that leads to the destruction of our nation. 

I would encourage, implore and even plead with you to take some of your time today and pray for our nation. Here are a few prayer points that are on my heart this morning.

Before you even look at my list, ask the Holy Spirit to direct your prayer life so that you can connect with the heart of the Heavenly Father for our nation. 

1) Pray for the Leaders of our nation. You could begin with the family leaders, the educational leaders, the spiritual leaders, as well as the governmental leaders.

2) Pray for our Armed Forces who are presently serving at various bases around the world and also include those bases located in our homeland.

3) Pray for the families of our military personnel.

4) Pray for the upcoming election in November.

5) Pray against the spirit of anger, frustration, division and violence that has such a strong grip on our land today.

6) Pray against those enemies who are out to destroy our nation and the principles of freedom upon which we stand.

7) Pray for another "Spiritual Awakening" across America.

Thank you for your prayers and may GOD BLESS AMERICA!!!
