PRAYER FOR OUR COUNTRY

Lord, as we think of our country there are many needs and many crises that come to mind.  But if we consider the roots of our problems they all stem back to ways in which our populace and our leaders have in large measure contradicted your teachings and violated your Laws.  We pray for correction to come to our nation.  Help us to see the errors of our ways and change our thoughts and actions.  We pray for Dr. Ben Carson and others who genuinely revere you and who have platforms from which to communicate to our nation.  Give wisdom and grace as well as protection to those who will speak accurately for you, and give a spirit of humility and discernment to our populace to recognize, value and support what is right.  Your Kingdom come and Your will be done in the USA we pray.  Thank you for Your abundant mercy and your available grace.  May we be of a mind and heart to accept them both.  Amen.
