A Prayer for the Safety of Our Nation


OUR HEAVENLY FATHER - GIVER OF LIFE,

WE PRAY FOR THE SAFETY OF OUR NATION AS IT STANDS ON TREMBLING GROUNDS AND A QUESTIONABLE FUTURE.


THE MOVEMENT WITHIN OUR COUNTRY TO DE-EMPHASIZE AND DISCONNECT FROM OUR JUDEO-CHRISTIAN PRINCIPLES AND FOUNDATION SEEMS TO BE GROWING AT A RAPID PACE.

WE PRAY THAT THIS MOVEMENT WILL BE SHORT LIVED.


WE PRAY FOR YOUR PROTECTION OF THOSE WHO ARE FEELING THE PAIN OF UNEMPLOYMENT, CAUSED BY THE CURRENT ECONOMIC DOWNTURN.

WE PRAY FOR ALL OF OUR ARMED FORCES SERVING THE SECURITY OF OUR NATION, BOTH HERE AND IN FOREIGN LANDS.

WE PRAY FOR THE FUTURE OF ISRAELIS. ITS FUTURE IS BEING DISCUSSED THROUGHOUT THE HIGHEST LEVELS OF GOVERNMENTS.

WE PRAY THAT YOU WILL KEEP YOUR HAND ON OUR COUNTRY AND GIVE OUR PEOPLE THE WISDOM TO FOLLOW YOUR COMMANDMENTS.

THIS WE PRAY IN THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST, OUR LORD AND SAVIOR.

AMEN

John Underwood
