Dear Lord, Thou are the Great Physician, and our nation is sick. I pray that you would reach down your mighty hand and deliver to us a man who can lead us in a great revival, and a return to You and Your ways and will. Grant us, Lord, this one more chance so that our young might have a chance to prove themselves. There are many great young ones coming up now, and all they want is just a chance to serve you and grow in Thy service. Grant them this chance, Lord, and let their families learn from the example You and they set for us. Grant us a leader who can touch our hardened hearts, and open them up to Thy Love and Honor. We are weak and thou art strong. Keep us, Lord, I pray, and help us where we have been so ineffective at helping ourselves.
And thank you for all the wondrous blessings you have provided for us all in this life, believer and disbeliever alike. Let Thy will prevail where ours has led u so close to perdition. Forgive us, and heal our land I pray. Amen.

Loyalty to the Nation all the time, loyalty to the Government when it deserves it. Mark Twain
I have a loyalty that runs in my bloodstream, when I lock into someone or something, you can't get me away from it because I commit that thoroughly. That's in friendship, that's a deal, that's a commitment. Don't give me paper - I can get the same lawyer who drew it up to break it. But if you shake my hand, that's for life.
Jerry Lewis

Dear Lord.... Evil is so rampant and everyone looks the other way. Few in leadership even try to look honest... help Us Lord.... raise up Good People and install them in Leadership... Bless Us Lord... Amen

It is unbelievable...There is nothing in history to compare it to unless the reign of Caligula... My poor Country.....
Evil practices...Evil Leaders... Unmitigated Evil... Payouts, bribes, and evil use of the Government positions... This is probably big... Most of the Government on both sides...
Dear Lord... It is unbelievable... this Country is ruled by Evil incarnate... Some of both parties are in on it... It is because We have put our Faith in Political Parties and not in You and Your Ways. I am a Sinner, Lord, but this evil is over the Top.
Sunshine... We need Sunshine to expose all the cockroaches and vipers. We need You to Show Us how to Live and Treat Others in this World.... We need every man, woman, and child to stand up and demand Truth and Honesty. Let them all deny Evil and embrace You.... Amen

O Lord... Our Once great Country is in pitiful Shape... Evil leaders on both sides.. Top law enforcement won't even look at these evil deeds... top Judges turn the Law against the Honest in favor of the law breakers...
Gaze at this Evil and destroy it Lord... raise up Mighty Men who stand for Truth and Honor and Justice. Let Freedom Ring thru this great land again... Let this Country thirst after Thy Word and Thy Ways... Please Bless Us All Again... Amen

"You may know society is doomed when you see that in order to produce, you need to obtain permission from men who produce nothing; when you see that money is flowing to those who deal, not in goods, but in favors; when you see that men get richer by graft and by pull than by work, and your laws don’t protect you against them, but protect them against you; [and] when you see corruption being rewarded and honesty becoming a self-sacrifice."

People who come along all the time and they ask, 'What's wrong with this?' In other words, they're always wondering how close to the edge they can get and still be a Christian. Listen, if any of you are like that, just go back to the world. Stop testing the edges. If it's the world you want, go back to it! And if you want to love Christ, then love Christ, and love Him with all your heart, and follow Him, and stop playing this idiotic game where you want to see how close to the edge you can live.
Tim Conway

I bumped into an old friend today and of course politics came up. "They are not getting my guns...I'll die first." He said. " I'm not my grandma. I've lived a good and long life. I'm not putting up with it."
He is several years older than I and he meant every word. He is an upstanding member of his community and is no danger to anyone... he just believes right is right.....
Dear Lord.... Thank You such Courage still exists. You find it in the strangest places sometimes. Fill Your People with such a Courage... Let Us seek after Goodness and the Things which are Right... Amen

Lord help us . I know you are still in control Lord but don't know your plan for us as a country . I never envisioned we could fall so far from you in so short a time as a nation raised in your name . You have shown that the country we once knew must be maintained and that we given that charge have failed . Even the faithful still here are confused and lost to each other waiting for you to fix it . I feel you will help us but that we must fix it with through your guidance . I know you will never abandon us but we as a people have turned away from you and the result is evident . Please guide and strengthen the faithful still here to do your will and rebuild this country in your name . Only you can help us Lord because there is no other help coming . In your name I ask it . Amen
-
Dear Lord.. I often never know what to put here... But I know just how far I fall short of Thee... yet I try again and again... This world pulls us to and fro... but the things of this world are not all there is either... Something deep in Our Souls longs for the pure water of life... Bless Us All as We Seek the Truth... Heal My Great Nation... Amen
