Prayer for our nation daily

[Blackwater]

Let me also wish you a very special Merry Christmas, Dale. You have given us all SO much in the past year. It truly means something, too, because many of us here read and listen and learn from it. You sometimes go on about feeling "inadequate" to the task of serving the Lord. Welcome to the club, brother! NONE of us is adequate or worthy. But God chose to use each of us as his best "right arms" here in this world. And He obviously has His reasons, so it's not for us to question, but to just do as He has indicated. And you do a great job, my brother. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. And BTW, it's often the simplest and most elemental messages that penetrate the deepest, so whatever inadequacy you may FEEL, God has obviously endowed you with all you really NEED, and that mostly the simple honesty and earnestness to state your case simply, forthrightly, and unafraid and undeterred. I think you're entitled to much more praise than you'll allow yourself to realize. God is working through you. Keep it up.

“Gifts of time and love are surely the basic ingredients of a truly merry Christmas.” ~ Peg Bracken

. “And the Grinch, with his Grinch-feet ice cold in the snow, stood puzzling and puzzling, how could it be so? It came without ribbons. It came without tags. It came without packages, boxes or bags. And he puzzled and puzzled ’till his puzzler was sore. Then the Grinch thought of something he hadn’t before. What if Christmas, he thought, doesn’t come from a store. What if Christmas, perhaps, means a little bit more.” ~ Dr Seuss


“Christmas can be celebrated in the school room with pine trees, tinsel and reindeers, but there must be no mention of the man whose birthday is being celebrated. One wonders how a teacher would answer if a student asked why it was called Christmas.”
― Ronald Reagan


“How many observe Christ's birthday! How few, His precepts!”
― Benjamin Franklin

Madam, an hour before the worshipped sun
Peered forth the golden window of the east,
A troubled mind drove me to walk abroad,
Where, underneath the grove of sycamore
That westward rooteth from this city side,
So early walking did I see your son.

and this quote is so you understand revenge....

“I'll find a day to massacre them all
And raze their faction and their family,
The cruel father and his traitorous sons,
To whom I sued for my dear son's life,
And make them know what 'tis to let a queen
Kneel in the streets and beg for grace in vain.”
― William Shakespeare, Titus Andronicus

Psalm 123;1-4

Unto thee lift I up mine eyes, O thou that dwellest in the heavens. Behold, as the eyes of servants look unto the hand of their masters, and as the eyes of a maiden unto the hand of her mistress; so our eyes wait upon the Lord our God, until that he have mercy upon us. Have mercy upon us, O Lord, have mercy upon us: for we are exceedingly filled with contempt. Our soul is exceedingly filled with the scorning of those that are at ease, and with the contempt of the proud

Lord be with us . Provide the patience and perseverance that will be required to effect change . Strengthen us as a nation and guide us to be in your light . Open the eyes of our new leaders to what you would have done . Amen

6. The Age of Complaining Classes: The Thomas Sowell Reader:


This is the age of the complaining classes, whether they are lawyers, community activists, radical feminists, race hustlers or other squeaking wheels looking for oil. … No society ever thrived because it had a large and growing class of parasites living off those who produce.

The next time some academics tell you how important diversity is, ask how many Republicans there are in their sociology department.


Dear Lord... As this year draws to an end, we remember How Good Thou was to us..... We Thank Thee for All we are and All we have.... Let the World draw closer to Your Ways and Your Leadership ... Thank You for All Things... Amen

Weighest thy words before thou givest them breath.

Dear Lord... Today we remember all those we loved and lost in the past year... Good friends and Family... Thank You for Those who meant so Much. Thank You for Your Word and Love... Amen



Everyone should have a spouse, because there are a number of things that go wrong that one can't blame on the government.

“If you cannot understand my argument, and declare "It's Greek to me", you are quoting Shakespeare; if you claim to be more sinned against than sinning, you are quoting Shakespeare; if you recall your salad days, you are quoting Shakespeare; if you act more in sorrow than in anger; if your wish is farther to the thought; if your lost property has vanished into thin air, you are quoting Shakespeare; if you have ever refused to budge an inch or suffered from green-eyed jealousy, if you have played fast and loose, if you have been tongue-tied, a tower of strength, hoodwinked or in a pickle, if you have knitted your brows, made a virtue of necessity, insisted on fair play, slept not one wink, stood on ceremony, danced attendance (on your lord and master), laughed yourself into stitches, had short shrift, cold comfort or too much of a good thing, if you have seen better days or lived in a fool's paradise -why, be that as it may, the more fool you , for it is a foregone conclusion that you are (as good luck would have it) quoting Shakespeare; if you think it is early days and clear out bag and baggage, if you think it is high time and that that is the long and short of it, if you believe that the game is up and that truth will out even if it involves your own flesh and blood, if you lie low till the crack of doom because you suspect foul play, if you have your teeth set on edge (at one fell swoop) without rhyme or reason, then - to give the devil his due - if the truth were known (for surely you have a tongue in your head) you are quoting Shakespeare; even if you bid me good riddance and send me packing, if you wish I was dead as a door-nail, if you think I am an eyesore, a laughing stock, the devil incarnate, a stony-hearted villain, bloody-minded or a blinking idiot, then - by Jove! O Lord! Tut tut! For goodness' sake! What the dickens! But me no buts! - it is all one to me, for you are quoting Shakespeare.”
― Bernard Levin

This post will be difficult for some. Our President is playing a dangerous game with the Russians. I don't know what TV news is saying since I don't watch it anymore, but internet news says Obama is playing childish games..dangerous games... trying to leave a total mess for Trump to fix..

Dear Lord... Please calm the leaders of this World... The Middle East and maybe the World is a mess... Calmness, Love, and Mercy is needed.. Help us with these things... Your Will in All Matters... Amen


For this very reason, make every effort to add to your faith goodness; and to goodness, knowledge; and to knowledge, self-control; and to self-control, perseverance; and to perseverance, godliness; and to godliness, mutual affection; and to mutual affection, love.
2 Peter 1:5-7

Seems the Dems are throwing out stumbling blocks , we shall see what the new leadership does .

In the meantime I pray for the new leaders .

[Blackwater]

Amen. May the incoming regime be given the words this people need to hear in order to be inspired to return to our once more Godly ways, ethics, and morals. With an intelligent and practical Supreme Court, we may yet have a chance to reinstate our once predominant place in this world. So many of us in this country have had their eyes scaled over, and their minds muddled by canned gibberish, that it's going to be a long haul, and not any overnight thing to restore us to ENOUGH of what we once were for it to really matter. I pray God that He will give the incomers the words and deeds we need to hear and see to once again return to our Faith in the Lord, and simply recognize evil for what it is once again. I pray our Lord will let it be so. Amen.

[Pine Baron]

Castalott, Dale,
I would like to take a moment to reflect on the past year, and thank you for your effort on this thread. You have provided inspirational prayer and entertaining, thoughtful quotes and meaningful insight. Keep it up, my brother. It is appreciated.

[Blackwater]

Lord, as we come to this, the last day of what we mark as another year, all praise and honor be to thee for your generosity to us, the grace and mercy you've shown us, and I pray that we will live up to the inestimable new chance you've given us with our new leaders, and return to thee en masse, as rightfully we should and so very much need to. Only then may we become the nation you always intended for us to be again. Give our leaders the words we need to hear, to lead us once again back to thee, and to see what has been proceeding whilst we "slept" through it all, and failed to tend our brothers and sisters as you so rightfully directed us to. Give us, I pray, humble hearts and minds, that we might DO the things that need to be done in our lives and in the nation. Give us the will to be great again, Lord, for without it, and without Thee, all is for naught. Bless us, Lord, I pray. Remove the scales from our eyes, and the walls from our hearts. Let us live again as you always intended for us to, in order that we might be truly happy and blessed again, and serve thee so much better than we have been doing. Teach us what to say to our non-believing brethren, that they might come to light. Take our hands. Use them to Thy will, and not our own. Take our tongues, and use them, for we hardly know how. Give us the words and thoughts and feelings you want us to have. Help us be attentive to these things, rather than willful and angry.

Thou art the great God of Heaven and earth and all the universe. Holy be thy name and all that you do. Help us see and follow Thy will rather than our own, and realize that if we'll but do that, you'll take care of all the rest. And Lord, if it be thy will, bring us peace in this world to the largest extent You can allow us to have it. These things I pray in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost. Amen.
