Folks, we need to be on our knees, NOW, praying for Newt Gingrich and for our country. I don't want this to be political.....Newt was not my first choice, but after seeing what the press did to Sarah, then Mr. Cain, and what they're now trying to do to Newt, with of course the BLESSING of Romney....well, we need to stop this NOW. We can ALL agree that NONE of us wants O'Bama back in office, that is a given.
I have children...lots of YOU have children. I have grandkids, lots of YOU have grandkids. I do NOT want them to grow up in a country that is no longer free.
Gator113 said in this thread "I truly believe that God is trying to bless this country again.
‘Free will’ is a tricky thing.... if we use it right, then we can win..... if we use it wrong ...we go to hell.
Failure to recognize this clear guidance and blessing from God, will be at our peril.
By this time next year, there will be a beautiful New Morning in America, a morning of promise, a morning of dreaming again, a morning when our country begins to heal...... or... we will see the death of our children’s future while we watch this once great country burn to the ground.
Freeper MissMagnolia offered up this beautiful and heartfelt prayer in the above mentioned thread:
"O God, who by your Providence did lead our forefathers to this land where they found refuge from oppression and freedom to worship you, and who in this land has made the people the ministers of your just rule, turn their hearts to you, that holding their citizenship as a sacred trust, they may guard, defend and use it according to your will. Also, that serving you with willing, joyful and obedient hearts, they may cherish their freedom as a blessing of your Gospel. We beseech you ever to guide our Nation in the way of truth and peace so that we may never fail in the blessing which you have promised to those people whose God is the Lord. We also humbly implore you to regard Newt Gingrich, seeking to be the President of the United States, his counselors, and all others who will be in authority over us; that, guided by your Holy Spirit, they may be high in purpose, wise in counsel, and unwavering in duty; and in the administration of their solemn charge may wholly serve your will, uphold the honor of our Nation, secure the protection of our people, and set forward every righteous cause; through Jesus Christ, thy Son, our Lord. Amen."
Folks, we Christians have been remiss in not praying for America. We've been commanded by Jesus Himself to pray for our leaders. This country will fall, or not...depending upon OUR prayers.
This is going to be a daily thread, I need you all to contribute to it. IN PRAYER!!!
Heavenly Father, we come before You as one, asking your forgiveness for our failure to pray. For our failure to stand up for what is right and what is wrong. I ask for your forgiveness. Lord, please bless this country. Help us to all have Your strength to stand up against evil, to speak out for those who are in need of Your salvation. Lord, please give Newt the words he needs, at the time he needs, to fight the onslaught of evil being thrown at him. Please give him YOUR strength. Lord, hear our prayer....In Your Holy Name, Amen!
Hallowed be thy Name.
Thy Kingdom come.
Thy will be done in earth,
As it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our trespasses,
As we forgive them that trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation,
But deliver us from evil.
For thine is the kingdom,
The power, and the glory,
For ever and ever.
Amen.
AMEN and AMEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks for posting the thread! MM

Prayers for our country to find the candidate that can bring us back from the brink where we find ourselves right now. God give us all the wisdom to be able to make an informed decision when we go to the polls for the primaries and for the general election.
Lord, Father of the universe, you have created humans to work with you. Enlighten those who lead and govern us. You know how hard it is to be always fair, considerate and compassionate. Our politicians and leaders need your help and guidance, Lord. Grant them your love and benevolence and make them attentive to your perfect will. Heavenly Father, make them instruments of justice and freedom, genuine defenders of good. In your infinite mercy, Father, give them the desire to serve, and teach them to stand for the right causes through a conduct always faithful to you. Bless our political leaders and protect them, defend them against the evil one, now and forever. Amen.
IN JESUS NAME.AMEN
My one prayer to G-d is that he give his blessings to all the prayers on this thread.
But I do believe that America has only months left, as we know her. If we do not see a spiritual renewal that is evidenced in both human hearts being drawn to God’s righteousness and is manifested in all areas of life, including in the voting booth, America is “over,” at least as we know her. I am astounded that Barak Obama and his ideological colleagues have been able to inflict so much damage on this nation in a remarkably short time. Weak previous Republican and other Democrat leaders have not helped the nation either.
We are in a genuine emergency. This is not just another election. This is it. We will see America begin to turn now, or it is over.
-- Rev Jim Garlow
Matt 18:20
The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear?
The LORD is the stronghold of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?
When evildoers assail me to eat up my flesh, my adversaries and foes, it is they who stumble and fall.
Though an army encamp against me, my heart shall not fear; though war arise against me, yet I will be confident.
One thing have I asked of the LORD, that will I seek after: that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to gaze upon the beauty of the LORD
and to inquire in his temple.
For he will hide me in his shelter in the day of trouble; he will conceal me under the cover of his tent; he will lift me high upon a rock.
And now my head shall be lifted up above my enemies all around me, and I will offer in his tent sacrifices with shouts of joy; I will sing and make melody to the LORD.
Hear, O LORD, when I cry aloud; be gracious to me and answer me!
You have said, “Seek my face.” My heart says to you,
“Your face, LORD, do I seek.”
Hide not your face from me.
Turn not your servant away in anger, O you who have been my help.
Cast me not off; forsake me not, O God of my salvation!
For my father and my mother have forsaken me, but the LORD will take me in.
Teach me your way, O LORD, and lead me on a level path because of my enemies.
Give me not up to the will of my adversaries; for false witnesses have risen against me, and they breathe out violence.
I believe that I shall look upon the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living!
Wait for the LORD; be strong, and let your heart take courage; wait for the LORD!
(Psalm 27 ESV)
Amen and Amen!
Awesome news! :)
Amen.
Amen to all the prayers.
