Are you praying?
Nicely said. Thank you for your fellowship in prayer on this thread.
Another thing I should have said, Verity, is because man is sinful, there will always be genocides. God allowed free will to men and when they stand aside and let evil happen, it is not the fault of God. It is our fault. There will be a day of reckoning, however, and those directly responsible for such abominable genocides and holocausts will receive their judgement. May God Bless America!
Amen.
No 'forgiveness' needed ....
Sort of figure granting forgiveness is well beyond me pay grade.
A man or women does not tend to lie when they have talked to God. He has sought forgiveness. Works for me.
I will need to pray more about that when the time comes. There is time for Gods to move in this thing, so I am not ready to worry about that right now.
FWIW- I do not think I will, at this time I can say that much, however, the appointing of justices coming with the next election is a huge factor for me.
Amen to your well defined prayer request Albion. His perfect will be done.
I truly resent being accused of baiting anyone. I simply asked a question that I wanted an honest answer to. I didn’t jump on this thread. I got pinged here somehow. I am praying for God to help us out of this mess but I’m not going to try and tell God how to do it.
I think your words sum up what most of us feel even as we are REALLY praying for Newt's victory tonight. Afterall, we ARE told to ask!
But--we also know that His will, not ours, must be done. And that can be a pretty bitter "cup" to swallow at times. Yet I truly believe that when such a cup is given--no matter how "galling" it may taste (as would be the case if Romney wins Florida, and--worse--the nomination), it is meant to somehow "work together for good" for those who love God.
Now as to just exactly how?
I HAVE NO CLUE!!:)!
Lord, hear our prayers.
God entervened in Noah's Day...and again in Sodom and Gamorrah...and ceertainly at Jesus Birth, death and ressurection....but it was not as Man determined...He did not come as a King...nor did HE leave as the King people thought he should have been.
So how do you know if God hasn't intervened in this election?.... I say because we see plenty of evidence there's warfare occurring you can pretty much establish He is a part of this...
If you are relying on Newt to save the Republic then you are extremely misguided.
Amen!
Dearest Lord, hear our prayer.
You have promised us that “lo, I will be with you always, even until the end of the world” so abide with us as the darkness deepens, for your presence is needed to comfort us tonight. We look forward to the dawning of a new day and we pray for your blessing and ask you to shine the light of your favor upon us as we battle on in the fight to save our nation. Today was not the end, but yet another beginning and only with your help can the evil that besets us in this most desperate fight be foiled. We love you, we praise you and we thank you for your most precious gift, Jesus Christ, your son, our Lord and in his name we pray. Amen.
Abide with me; fast falls the eventide;
The darkness deepens; Lord with me abide.
When other helpers fail and comforts flee,
Help of the helpless, O abide with me.
I need Thy presence every passing hour.
What but Thy grace can foil the tempter’s power?
Who, like Thyself, my guide and stay can be?
Through cloud and sunshine, Lord, abide with me.
Hold Thou Thy cross before my closing eyes;
Shine through the gloom and point me to the skies.
Heaven’s morning breaks, and earth’s vain shadows flee;
In life, in death, O Lord, abide with me.
MagnoliaB....I must apologize to you. You can call that post...posting while semi-awake. :(
Seriously..I am very very sorry. There was a person on here who ended up being zotted. I read your question, which WAS, I see now...incredibly innocent. And I was an incredible dweeb and “heard” you wrong.
Now...to have the mods remove my post. Please forgive me.
I’m relying on whomever God chooses, if He does so...to save the Republic.
That’s why we’re all praying.
Perhaps it’s His will NOT to save us...perhaps we HAVE gone too far, too long, down the wrong path. History has shown that when I country turns it’s back on God...it falls.
We’re praying for that not to be the case here.
Hey, FRers....we may not have won Florida...but we still have a long way to go. I know I don’t have to ask, but please continue your prayers..
Of course, prayers continue for Newt Gingrich and our country!
