Lord Jesus, we pray for our nation and the world today.

May the Lord stop every attempt at evil. May He cause every voting system to work correctly in spite of tampering. May He quell any violence or other upheaval by silencing and disarming those so inclined. May He pour out His Spirit on our nation to cleanse and transform for the glory of His mighty name. And may we walk in His peace that passes understanding, in His love that heals wounded hearts and points lost souls to Him, and in His power that enables us to influence our neighbors and our nation for His kingdom. In Jesus’ name.

Amen! And seeing all of these believers assembled here reminds me of yesterday evening when at the 6:00 hour, millions of believers joined in prayer for our nation. It was an honor and privilege to be a part of that massive gathering whose voices were lifted to heaven. The Church on earth prayed and God heard our prayers.

And again I say Amen!

Yes! From 6 to 6:05, I prayed fervently and knew that my soul was united in prayer with millions of believers.

"And another angel came and stood at the altar, having a golden censer; and much incense was given to him, so that he might add it to the prayers of all the saints on the golden altar which was before the throne. And the smoke of the incense went up with the prayers of the saints, out of the angel’s hand, before God. Then the angel took the censer and filled it with the fire of the altar, and threw it to the earth; and there followed peals of thunder and sounds and flashes of lightning and an earthquake." - Revelation 8:3-5 LSB

I don't like that 'fire and throwing and thunder and earthquakes at all'. But if it comes from the Ring being destroyed in Mount Doom, and Sauron's tower of Barad Dur being thrown down, and he being turned into a shadowy cloud and blown away on the winds, and all his orcs go mad and kill themselves: well then I could go along with that. I'll wait and see.

Yeah its the same exact comment, non-sequitur in this thread, and from a different name, as yesterday's (which was also a non-sequitur), with same link that I would not open. Dragnet, trolls, 3-letter agencies.

God bless America, land that I love,

Stand beside her and guide her

Through the night with a light from above.

From the mountains, to the prairies,

To the oceans white with foam,

God bless America,

My home sweet home.

Funny true story. A week or so ago we were at a family birthday party for a ten year old. After dinner we were set to cut the cake. After a rousing round of Happy Birthday someone broke out in song God Bless America. Everyone at the party joined in the song. Afterward someone said a new tradition has been added we’re going to sing that at every birthday celebration. ❤️

My grandson was recently playing a district soccer game. When the national anthem was played, the announcer asked everyone to join in. One young girl started singing and halfway through, I decided not to let her sing alone and robustly joined in. Immediately many around us began to loudly finish the anthem. Patriotism is contagious.

I like to think it's the Holy Spirit flooding you with God's LOVE!! When this "Lapsed Lutheran" started going back to church after decades of New Age tomfoolery, I'd weep when the worship songs began. So choked up!! Because I was so convicted of my sin...but I am redeemed! Set Free! Thank you, Jesus! 🙌🏼👑🙌🏼

Heck. I still cry at the Anthem at football games. Something about 60,000 Americans, in one place, still respecting our country that gets to me. Trump's best statement of the campaign, "We don't have to live like this." I hate what the Progressives have done to my country. We don't have to put up with this crap.

I have never thought of that song as a prayer. I have thought of it as a patriotic song. But it really is a prayer, which we can all and pray today.

About 25 years ago, I was at a Shirley Jones concert in Milwaukee. For the last song of the evening, she sang America The Beautiful. She and her orchestra performed a beautiful rendition. When she was done, there wasn't a dry eye in the entire audience of thousands.

And I'm proud to be an American

Where at least I know I'm free

And I won't forget the men who died

Who gave that right to me

And I'd gladly stand up

Next to you and defend her still today

'Cause there ain't no doubt I love this land

God bless the USA

I was at a karaoke party last weekend and all 16 of us belted out Trumps campaign song. The one Democrat couple looked very uncomfortable in the kitchen 🤣

When our daughters were growing up it was their elementary school's song. All of the children knew it and sang it at every gathering! It was wonderful!

I have been humbly praying throughout yesterday, the night. and this morning.

Praying for God's mercy on this country founded on Him. Satan, through his spiritually clueless and deluded disciples, is jealous and wants this country for himself.

We still have so many people of faith in our country, and we are fighting this battle through the one weapon, the strongest weapon which THEY don't have: prayer.

Keep praying, dear friends. 🙏🙏🙏
