Prayer for America

There are those who say, "Well, there's nothing left to do but pray." There's a sense of desperation in that statement, isn't there?

Prayer should not be done in desperation by those who call themselves Christ followers. In 1 Thessalonians 5:17 we are told not to stop praying, much less leave it to the last possible thing to do in a situation. Prayer should be a constant activity in our day.

That doesn't mean that we are to continually pray, but that throughout the day we should pray from time to time as we go about our daily routines.

We should have been praying for this year's election for some time now. We shouldn't be leaving it to the last moment. If you haven't been praying for this year's election, please start today. Reach out to God and pray from your heart.

Pray for this country too. Pray for peace and protection. Pray that we'll be a light once again to the world. Pray for a revival, the likes of which we've never seen. Pray that our new leaders will govern us in a way that is pleasing and glorifying to God. If ever we needed God, it is now.

Whatever happens next Tuesday, let it not be because God's children didn't pray. Together, in prayer, we wield tremendous power and who can withstand the awesome power of God when His children ask Him for help?

One last thing. Don't let any poll keep you from voting. Your vote does count. It's your privilege and responsibility to vote.

God bless you and may God bless America.
