In God's Hands: A Prayer for America
Personal Journey and Mother's Influence
As a Christian, my journey began when my mother read the Bible to me in Spanish as a child. Although I didn't understand much, but the seeds were planted. She taught me the Lord's Prayer and that I should always be grateful to God. As I got older and became a husband and father, I started drifting away from going to church. Despite this, my mother prayed daily for my protection from evil. While I save the many stories of how I found myself in the middle of some negative situations, I’ve always managed to walk away, but I’ll leave those stories for another time. I didn’t know it at the time, but my mother was a patriot. She emigrated to United States in 1968 and always said, “America is her country now! This is where I’m going to raise my kids”
A Mother's Final Prayer
Exactly four years ago today, just before she passed away, I stayed with her for a couple of days. It was great because she spoiled me by cooking all my favorite dishes. It’s the way she expressed her love with others, so I was lucky! One morning, I awoke to hear her, despite her battle with pancreatic cancer, on her knees, eyes closed, hands held together, speaking to God. She prayed for the protection of her children, her grandchildren, the rest of the family, and her closest friends. Her prayer lasted until she ran out of things to ask for. She ended her prayer with "In Jesus Name." Her words were poetic, spoken from the heart and her message sent directly to God. For me, it was a masterclass in prayer, a testament to her relationship with God. Through her example, she taught me the importance of prayer. As a born-again Christian, I realized that God had delivered on her eternal salvation. Right before she left this world, I recall the peace I felt, knowing she was on her way to Heaven, and as a Christian who has accepted Jesus as my Lord and Savior, I will reunite with her later. This unity in faith and hope is what we need to bring to our nation in these troubled times.
Serving God and Honoring Mother's Memory
One way I serve God is by serving in church. Not only do I Bible reading, but I also teach Sunday school for teens. I’m actually learning more about Christian apologetics, but I’ll touch how to defend the faith another time. In my mother’s honor, I've selected Psalm 85 (see Appendix 1) for tomorrow's Bible reading. Psalm 85 is a prayer for any nation seeking divine intervention during times of difficulty, change, or crisis. The hope for a restored and harmonious relationship with God resonates deeply, offering a model for spiritual renewal and national revival. The United States under President Joe Biden is facing a crisis. Therefore, this choice is a personal tribute and a call to action.
National Crisis and Call to Action
The recent Trump-Biden Presidential debate for the 2024 election has exposed several significant risks to the nation, highlighted by evidence of President Biden's noticeable drop in cognitive performance. This situation raises the critical question: who is running the nation?
National security is at risk as doubts about the President's cognitive abilities could embolden adversaries like Russia, China, and Iran, potentially leading to more aggressive actions in regions such as Taiwan and the South China Sea. Additionally, there are concerns about the administration's readiness to manage ongoing and potential conflicts, which may impact U.S. military responses in Ukraine and Israel.
Constitutionally, there is speculation about a crisis if the President is deemed unfit for office, raising issues about who is in control and whether there is a cover-up. Politically, worries about the integrity of the 2020 election and the possibility of similar issues in the future suggest that the current administration might prioritize political power over national welfare. The Democratic Party could face a significant collapse, leading to major Republican gains in Congress. Lastly, the media is criticized for protecting the President and not addressing these concerns, which could result in a lack of transparency and accountability. This makes public awareness and reaction crucial as the nation questions who will steer the country until election day.
Awakening and Political Call to Action
It's crucial to understand that about 75% of the U.S. population are considered 'low information voters,' understandably because they work hard to support their families and make ends meet. However, now is not the time to remain in the dark. The country is at a tipping point, and we are at risk of losing it. Those already at the front line of the political fight say we live in post-constitutional America, meaning the power-hungry Democrats have already canceled the Constitution, evidenced by the lawfare encapsulating Biden's opponent for the 2024 presidential election. Until we have a leader like President Donald J. Trump, the safety of citizens worldwide remains at risk. The call to action is this: I encourage Christians of all denominations to contemplate the state of current conditions and pray for leaders to put their divisive politics aside and take action by voting for the re-election of President Donald J. Trump. The debates starkly revealed what the political right has long known: Democrats are waking up to the fact that the Biden administration, supported by the corrupt media, has once again misled them again, this time, about Biden's mental state.
Democratic Party in Turmoil
The realization among Democrat fundraisers, big-money donors, and political pundits that the Biden Administration has gaslit them marks a pivotal moment. The Democrats are in turmoil and looking for their political messiah to replace Joe Biden. Unsurprisingly, they skipped over Vice President Kamala Harris because she was not good enough. I believe this is the beginning of the end of the unelected Administrative State, which is an opportune time for the populist to take back their country, ensuring peace for Americans and people worldwide. Before we start, like all good stewards of this great nation, we need to take some time, get on our knees, close our eyes, and pray to God for the urgency to strengthen our nation through faith and action.
Prayer for America's Future
Now is the moment to raise people's awareness of the risks and inspire them to take action. This is not just a political speech but a call for divine intervention. Let us pray for our nation's future and act to secure it together. Our faith is not just a personal belief, but a powerful force that can guide our actions and decisions. Let us invoke the divine to guide us in these challenging times. From an America First Patriot to another, I’d like to share this prayer I put together for you called, “In God’s Hands: A Prayer for America”.
In God’s Hands: A Prayer for America
Dear Heavenly Father,
You have shown great favor to our nation in the past and guided us through many challenges. We come before You now, seeking Your mercy and forgiveness for our land. We acknowledge the iniquities that have brought us low and ask for Your grace to cover our sins.
Lord, You have turned away Your fierce anger before and brought peace to our people. We pray that You would once again turn us back to You, O God of our salvation. Let Your anger cease and revive us anew so we may rejoice in You.
Show us Your mercy, O Lord, and grant us Your salvation. We are in a critical time of change and we need Your intervention more than ever. As we look forward to President Donald J. Trump's re-election, we pray for Your guidance and support. Let Your wisdom and righteousness guide our leaders and our people.
We come to You in a time of vulnerability, with compromised leadership in our nation's history. Protect our country from harm and division. Shield us from those who seek to undermine our values and principles. Empower us to stand firm and unwavering in the face of adversity.
We will listen to what You, Lord God, will speak, for You promise peace to Your people. Help us not to return to folly but to steadfastly walk in Your ways. May Your salvation be near to those who fear You, and let Your glory dwell in our land.
Let mercy and truth meet together in our nation; let righteousness and peace embrace. May truth spring forth from the earth and righteousness look down from heaven. Lord, give us that which is good and let our land yield its increase.
May righteousness go before You and prepare the way for Your steps. Lead us in Your paths, and restore our Republic for the good of the United States of America and the world.
In Jesus' name, we pray,
Amen.
Appendix: Psalm 85 (KJV) - God’s Past Mercies
Lord, thou hast been favourable unto thy land: thou hast brought back the captivity of Jacob.
Thou hast forgiven the iniquity of thy people, thou hast covered all their sin. Selah.
Thou hast taken away all thy wrath: thou hast turned thyself from the fierceness of thine anger.
Turn us, O God of our salvation, and cause thine anger toward us to cease.
Wilt thou be angry with us forever? Wilt thou draw out thine anger to all generations?
Wilt thou not revive us again: that thy people may rejoice in thee?
Shew us thy mercy, O Lord, and grant us thy salvation.
I will hear what God the Lord will speak: for he will speak peace unto his people, and to his saints: but let them not turn again to folly.
Surely his salvation is nigh them that fear him; that glory may dwell in our land.
Mercy and truth are met together; righteousness and peace have kissed each other.
Truth shall spring out of the earth; and righteousness shall look down from heaven.
Yea, the Lord shall give that which is good; and our land shall yield her increase.
Righteousness shall go before him; and shall set us in the way of his steps.
