“I am praying that God would remember our beginnings as a country and send us national revival.”
It’s odd that you say this, because that is also my EXACT prayer every single day.
I’ve been praying this, too. For the conversion of America, a turning back to God. Glenn Beck has been spelling this out. We’re in this mess because too many in our country have turned away from God, and we have to pray them back, and become closer to God, ourselves.
Good leaders, a good economy, etc., are blessings from God. Too many people are dismissive of this truth, because they do their thing, and the world has blinded them. They need God’s grace to see, and we who know, must ask Him for that grace on their behalf.
Although it doesn’t seem like it sometimes, God is in control, and in the end, He will be glorified. He will never leave us, nor forsake us, and He is already hearing our prayers for our beloved country.
BTW, lately if somone cuts me off in traffic, or does something annoying or stupid, I realize that this person is one of the people I pray for when I pray for everyone in America. So I calm down and pray for them individually. :-)
Keep the faith. It’s obvious that the Holy Spirit is moving us to pray as we ought. Take heart from that.
