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!
Amen!
Yes Father God...bring a mighty revival to our land.
You are bringing us to our knees. We have no one we can turn to but You, and You alone.
Lord I repent for my wayward condition and ask that You fill me with Your love and Your Holy Spirit's control..... HAVE MERCY OH LORD ON AMERICA!
You are bringing us to our knees. We have no one we can turn to but You, and You alone.

Yep. And that’s why we’re in the mess we’re in. MOST of us, myself included...are very guilty of NOT turning to Him for EVERYTHING...
Amen.
If My people, who are called by My name, will humble themselves and pray and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land. 2 Chron. 7:14
” Eternal Father, I am a sinner.
I remember, and I offer You that Great Sacrifice made for me; the Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity of Your dearly beloved Son, Our Lord Jesus Christ, in atonement for our sins and those of the whole world.
For the sake of His sorrowful Passion, have Mercy on us and on the whole world. “— The Divine Mercy Prayer (paraphrased)

Thy will be done in us. We are your stiff necked people. Father, by the sacrifice of Your son, Jesus Christ, and by the power of the Holy Spirit, and in His name, increase our strength, amplify our voice, and encourage us unto death to repent, that You will heal our land.

Hear us, oh Lord, as you heard Israel before the giant and numberless Philistines. We, too, cry out and beg for Your power in battle and trust You will deliver us from the hands of our enemy in our land. Let the Tabernacle of Your Love and Your commandments be returned to Jerusalem so we as David, too shall dance.

Blessed be the holy and undivided Trinity, now and forevermore. Amen.
Honestly, we are all likely guilty of that shortcoming.
And my God shall meet all your needs according to His glorious riches in Christ Jesus.
To our God and Father be glory for ever and ever.
Phil 4:19,20
I was also thinking of David and Goliath as I typed my prayer. That is how it is.
Yet God is capable and able....
Amen!
Didn’t read this until I typed my response and sent it to BG....yes, and yes to that verse!!!
Bump
God wants to bless us; He’s just waiting for the believers in this country to finally let Him. (At least, that is what I believe to be the case.)
” Yet God is capable and able.... “
But would His people heed His call? How shall He hear us until we are broken in spirit and turn, on time, fully, and with a seriousness enough to repentance to last daily, and for a life time. He knows. When will He relent? When we repent. Crying out is not quite the same as first humbling ourselves to repentance, huh? I hear little of repentance and remain wrestling the little foxes myself, daily. Obviously own repentance is on my mind. “ Mary, pray for me.” :) Thanks to you and peace, nic. Rita.
I join in these earnest prayers!
I do not know. ‘Pray without ceasing’ comes to mind.
Pray without ceasing. Amen. :)
Such a simple concept, isn’t that???
So Let it be said.
So let it be done.
Amen.
Amen.
