Father God, in a matter of days and hours, Lord, the destiny and direction of our Nation will be determined. And we do not know which way it will go, only you do know, Father. And I'm reminded of the time when our Dear Lord was in the courts, and when he was brought forth with Barabbas and the Disciples thought perhaps now he'll be released and yet it did not go that way.

        And the Lord Jesus was in the court with Pilate and with Herod and back and forth. And even when He was on the cross did they not think that He would send down the Angels? But, Father God, it was your will that your Son would die, that there would be a crucifixion so that in three days time there could be a resurrection.

        God, we do not know which way it will go. We do not know if the shepherd will be spared or if he will be struck down. But God, I pray that your sheep will not be scattered, that we would all know a resurrection in our hearts, that we would come together and gather in the fold and look to our Lord Jesus who is our Redeemer.

       May we all realize how important it is to pray, how important it is to think about the future for our children. Yes, do remember the past, yes, remember the wars that have been fought and the blood that has been spilt. May we take our eyes off our checkbooks and things we can get for ourselves and may we think about building a beautiful place for our children - an America that they could be proud of.

        God, raise up patriots once again. I pray for resurrection life to come into the American peoples in this Nation. And if a "revolutionary war" must come then let it come in the spirit for we will fight under the flag of our God and our King. May this truly once again be the land when in God we do trust. Once again may we also see the flag of Christ and his banner lifted up high above the Capital of this Nation and across this land.

        God, may we see Christian broadcasters speaking the truth to the people. God, send us the Joshuas and the Calebs, who can look in the land and tell us the truth, tell us the truth, tell us the truth.

        I pray for a healing no matter which way it goes, God. May we not be scattered. May we still come and gather together in peace knowing that our God does know what He is doing, and our God still does sit on the throne, and our God still is in control.

        And above all, God, drive us to our knees to pray. We've had it so easy. We've had it so easy. For God, the prayer that have been gathered up in Heaven over the past hundred years we've about used them all up. It's time we begin praying our own prayers; we can't live on Grandma's prayers anymore, Lord. We can't live on the prayers of George Washington anymore for this Nation. God, send us our own leaders who will pray.

        May we as a people gather together in the House of God and pray each day, pray each day, Lord, "Thy will be done in our hearts and in our land." Yes, in our church, yes, in our families, but we have forgotten about our land, Lord Jesus. Forgive us, God.

        May we learn this lesson. May we not have to go through this again. You've called us to be soldiers of the Cross and soldiers of our Country, and soldiers of our home, soldiers of the Church. May we not lay down any of these banners, God. But may we be faithful in God, and land, and country and king.
