A Call for Prayer for this Nation-Day Two

This is day two of my call for prayer for this nation. Ironically, on the television in the background, is playing, "Rome: Rise and Fall of an Empire."  Barns are being burned. The Romans are being starved into submission. Caesar had more gall than the Gauls against whom he was fighting. Caear is victorious. We know the story of the crossing of the Rubicon. We are at our own River of Rubicon. Do we give up or do we, even if outspent and "outpowered," continue to "fight" the forces that seek to destroy this nation? The die is cast. Now I do know that ultimately the Roman Empire fell, but that is for another day. The Roman Empire lasted one thousand years. We are short by a little over seven hundred and fifty years. Although the US is not truly an empire in the Roman sense, let us not go under as Rome did. Let us pray to the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob to aid us.

With that in mind,  I give you the following:

Psalm 51:1-2, 10

1 Have mercy upon me, O God, according to thy lovingkindness: according unto the multitude of thy tender mercies blot out my transgressions.
2 Wash me throughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin.
10 Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me.

Another irony is that this is the Psalm in which King David cried out to God for forgiveness for his adultery with Bathsheba. As a nation we too have been "adulterous." We have replaced God in the public schools with cucumbers on condoms, called "sex education." The kids are learning plenty about sex, and can even spell that word, unlike many others, with more syllables. Now that that school territory is a "God-free zone," hopefully our places of worship are not the next zone in the "education" process.

"Hope" is being tossed around this election cycle. Here is a passage of real hope.

Jeremiah 17:7-8

7 Blessed is the man that trusteth in the LORD, and whose hope the LORD is.
8 For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters, and that spreadeth out her roots by the river, and shall not see when heat cometh, but her leaf shall be green; and shall not be careful in the year of drought, neither shall cease from yielding fruit.

Please continue to pray.
