Pray for America

I received this from a friend and decided I wanted to do more than forwarded it in an email, I wanted to post it on my blog:

ONE MINUTE EACH NIGHT....

This is the scariest election we as Christians have faced in a while and from the looks of the polls, the Christians aren't voting Christian values. We all need to be on our knees.

Do you believe we can take God at His word? Call upon His name, then stand back and watch His wonders to behold. This scripture gives us, as Christians, ownership of this land and the ability to call upon God to heal it. I challenge you to do so. We have never been more desperate than now for God to heal our land.

"If my people, which are called by my name shall 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." (2 Chronicles 7:14)

During World War II, there was an adviser to Churchill who organized a group of people who dropped what they were doing every night at a prescribed hour for one minute to collectively pray for the safety of England, it's people, and peace. This had an amazing effect as Axis bombing stopped. There is now a group of people organizing the same thing here in the United States of America and our citizens need prayer more than ever!!!

If you would like to participate: each evening at 9:00 PM Eastern Time (8:00 PM Central, 7:00 PM Mountain, 6:00 PM Pacific), stop whatever you are doing and spend one minute praying for the safety of the United States, our troops, our citizens, for peace in the world, the up-coming election, that the Bible will remain the basis for the laws governing our land and that Christianity will grow, not dwindle, in the U.S.

Someone said if people really understood the full extent of the power we have available through prayer, we might be speechless. Our prayers are the most powerful asset we have.

Please join us in this very righteous and worthy endeavor. Not only is it Biblical, but it is something that each one of can do in a time where we feel so helpless about the direction our nation is headed. I invite each of my fellow bloggers to copy and paste this on their own blogs and spread the word as far as we can across America. Shoot, let's reach out to the world. A world at peace where the freedoms of her citizens are honored, wow, how would that be?

I can't take credit for the idea, but I like it and think we can all make a difference.

Candace,


Great blog.  I feel exactly the same way.  I firmly believe that prayer will help to bless our land.  I also believe, however, that people like you and me, and every other Christian who has the faith and courage to do so, can make a difference by taking the council of Elder Ballard and publishing everything we can to share the gospel.  Thanks for sharing.  Thanks for your faith and testimony.  Thanks for having the courage to stand up and be counted!
