Meat for the Hungry

  Mayflower - www.britannica.com Although I’m tempted to write another article on the lawlessness we see, I’m not. Instead, I’m going to focus on good, especially since we are about to celebrate A m e r i c a ’ s 2 5 0 th B i r t h d a y . Lately, as I travel from here to there, I am blessed by the A m e r i c a 2 5 0 decorations. I have no idea the political beliefs of those who dwell in the beautifully adorned homes, but I know in my heart they love our country and are proud to be an A m e r i c a n .   Have you seen any of the interviews with World Cup Soccer Games visitors? These international guests can’t seem to say enough good about how amazing A m e r i c a is—that it is unlike any other country in the world—and how our people are so friendly.   While their words make my heart swell with gratitude, I know why we are this different, and so do you. A m e r i c a ’s g o o d n e s s came because it was founded on the One True and Living God, H i s g ...

FLAG robert-linder-fcFEnjBmm14-unsplash   Help us, LORD. Help us to hold on to the Democratic Republic of the U n i t e d S t a t e s o f A m e r i c a —this land You gave us all those years ago. Help us to remember the former things: The wars that were fought, the men who died, first to make this country free, and then to keep it free and preserve our O N E N a t i o n u n d e r G o d . We look to You for salvation—both physically and spiritually—for You are God, and there is no other. [1] There is none like You who has declared the end from the beginning, and from ancient times things not yet done.   For You were the One who said, “My counsel shall stand, and I will do all My pleasure.” [2]   Thank You, LORD God Almighty, for the prosperity You have given A m e r i c a and the f r e e d o m we have enjoyed for the past 2 5 0 y e a r s . But this land, this nation, You established as Your missionary nation to spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ, and tell t...

  FLAG robert-linder-fcFEnjBmm14-unsplash “Holy, holy, holy is the LORD of hosts; the whole earth is full of His glory!” [1]   Holy, holy, holy LORD, I am at a loss as to how to pray for A m e r i c a today. But when I asked, I felt You led me to pray specifically for our President, Vice-President, Secretary of War, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and all our military. These are the men You chose to be in power at this time in history, and to be Your servants as Cyrus the Great was Your servant. [2] Please give them wisdom, clarity, discernment, eyes to see You and the path forward, ears to hear Your voice, and hearts to understand Your will and how You want it carried out. Save our Republic, LORD God, for only You can.   Father, while domestic issues at home are on the rise, the Iran war is again taking its toll. These wonderful men You have placed in A m e r i c a ’ s highest offices do not understand the type of people they are dealing with in Ira...

  FLAG robert-linder-fcFEnjBmm14-unsplash Thank you, glorious LORD, for establishing this great nation and guiding our founding fathers in the writing of our Constitution. How we are blessed to see Your divine guidance in the formation of our federal, state, and local governments. We look to You to protect and keep each civil servant and administration from corruption.   As we celebrate A m e r i c a’ s 250 years of history, our hard-fought freedom now teeters on the brink of destruction. LORD God, give us what we need to save this country so our children are not enslaved by Socialism, Communism, Islamism, Hinduism, Buddhism—the evil one’s way of government.   Set our hearts firm with the courage to fight to keep our founding documents intact and not allow our freedoms to be eroded. We, true believers in Jesus Christ, are the sheep of Your pasture, [1] and it is only in You that we live and move and have our being. [2]   Holy Father, LORD Almighty, help...

  FLAG robert-linder-fcFEnjBmm14-unsplash God Most High, who is Three-in-One—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit—please deliver A m e r i c a from evil. [1]   As we who love You with all our heart, soul, mind, and strength pray, seek Your face, repent of our personal sins, and the sins of our nation, L ORD , honor Your Word—heal our hearts and then our land. [2] In just seven days, we celebrate  A m e r i c a’ s 2 5 0 th B i r t h d a y   and what a celebration it will be! But as we do, O God, give us the determination to continue working hard to take this country back from the evil that has stolen  it—seeking  to erase it and You.   Your Word tells us, “Blessed is the nation whose God is the L ORD , the people He has chosen as His own inheritance.” [3] While we understand this Psalm speaks to Israel as Your inheritance, You also established and protected A m e r i c a and its people. However, many have expelled You from their hearts just the way...

FLAG robert-linder-fcFEnjBmm14-unsplash LORD God, as we begin our day, we come before Your throne and bow in Your presence. Thank You for our nation—the L a n d of the F r e e and the H o m e of the B r a v e —the country You gave us. As Christians, true believers in Jesus Christ , we have been complacent and sometimes apathetic about the rights, freedoms, and blessings You have provided.   While we have been asleep, the evil one has sewn tares and gained ground on our watch. He seeks to destroy our land and enslave our people. [1]   His deceived workers don’t even realize it is Satan who controls their puppet strings, because their hearts and consciences have been seared as with a hot iron. [2] These blinded ones have become like their father [3] and puppet master, “…workers of iniquity, who speak peace to their neighbors, but evil is in their hearts.” [4]   Gaining more and more power is their immediate goal, O LORD, yet they are caught in Satan’s web like dinn...
