Sorry.

Prayer seems to be all we have left.

Prayer seems to be all we have left.

A minister once asked why people say "All I can do is pray" as though it's a last resort, as though it's a token act. Prayer is the most powerful action we can take."

I hadn't thought about it before but it's so true. Once we lose control we consider God as a backup plan. But He's always been the one really in control and though I don't know where America is right now, He does know.

From Billy Graham's devotional "Hope for Each Day":

Because of Prayer

The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much. James 5:16

“John Knox prayed and God’s responses to his prayers caused Queen Mary to say that she feared the prayers of John Knox more than she feared all the armies of Scotland. John Wesley prayed and revival came to England,, sparing that nation the horrors of the French Revolution. Jonathan Edwards prayed and revival spread throughout the American colonies.”

“History has been changed time after time because of prayers I tell you history could be changed again if people went to their knees in believing prayer. Even when times are bleak and the world scorns God, He still works through the prayers of His people. Pray today for revival of your nation and around the world. “
