I have to admit I am extremely concerned about what is going on in our country lately. However, I do try not to worry and dwell too much on it all. I hope and pray for the best and prepare for the worst.
That being said, I wanted to share the info below from Mike Huckabee in case you had not heard about the call for a day of prayer on the 20th. I believe in the power of prayer and I believe that God can change the hearts of men and get us back on the right direction as a nation.

"Mike Huckabee: January 20th is "A Day to Pray"
Join me for "A Day to Pray", where we will ask God to grant our leaders, from the local school houses to the White House, the wisdom they need for the road ahead. We will gather to ask God for forgiveness and healing of our land and to bless our Country and her people. This will not be a political rally but a spiritual event and hopefully one that can help bring us together as we move forward as a nation. -Mike Huckabee
"If My people, which are called by My name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from Heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land." -2 Chronicles 7:14
August 1, hundreds of thousands stood in line at Chick-fil-A to affirm a Christian brother's right to his personal view and the freedom to express it without being the object of economic terrorism. It was a historic moment because it was not a carefully staged PR stunt, but a viral response as people from many organizations and ministries simply urged their own constituents to participate. No one "owned" the day – each participating entity encouraged it from their own platform to their audience.
I want to propose that we join together to do something even more significant. What if on Sunday, January 20, we asked America to simply pray? Pray for our leaders and our country. This would not be a partisan or political event, but a sincere effort to ask millions of Americans to pray for our country on that day. Our leaders don't seem to be listening to us; maybe they will listen to God!
I truly believe that a day of humility, repentance, and prayer could do something that elections can't do, but a sincere effort to ask millions of Americans to pray for our country on that day. Our leaders don't seem to be listening to us; maybe they will listen to God!"
