A Prayer for Understanding


Let Us Pray,

Our Heavenly Father, we give thanks to you for the continued survival of our Republic.

This great land is still a beacon of hope for millions of people around the globe.

Our Judeo-Christian culture and the wisdom of our Founding Fathers have given us the ability not only to survive, but to help other in time of stress and protect them from cruel dictators and despots.

The future of our nation and the welfare of our men and women in the armed forces is of deep concern and troubling. Due to our own neglect and like of responsibility, we have put fools in charge of our defense forces. The blood of our young men and women are being sacrificed in Iraq and Afghanistan for no reason.

We pray to You Almighty God that you will give all of our people wisdom and understanding. We do see rays of light that give us hope and for that we praise and glorify Your name, Heavenly Father.

We pray in the name of Your Son, Our Lord and Savior, Jesus of Nazareth.

Amen
