Gary Bauer: My Prayer For 2024

We're getting ready to say goodbye to 2023. Honestly, I won't miss it. 

 

From continued sky-high inflation to record illegal immigration, from the ongoing war in Ukraine to the war in Israel and the explosion of anti-Semitism in America, it's been a challenging year.

 

If we could ask for just one thing in the New Year, I believe it should be that America would turn back to the God of the Bible. 

 

America is facing multiple challenges, many of which can be traced to the decline of our Judeo-Christian values. 

 

We have an epidemic of broken families and children without fathers in the home. There is an epidemic of corruption on Wall Street, in government and even at your local school board. 

 

There are epidemics of despair, depression and drug addiction. There is an epidemic of gender confusion. 

 

There is an epidemic of violent crime. A growing number of people don't fear punishment in this life and don't believe in eternal life. 

 

We need a revival here in America.

 

Our nation was founded by people who came here to freely worship God. Christian pastors gave birth to the revolutionary fervor that won our war of independence. 

 

George Washington said it was only because of God's hand that we prevailed over the British empire. And our founders boldly declared that our liberty comes from God, not government. 

 

My prayer for 2024 is that America will rediscover the wisdom and truth of the Bible and turn our hearts back to the God.

 

And I promise that throughout the year ahead, with your prayers, continued support and God's blessing, I will continue to "fight the good fight" for Faith, Family and Freedom!
