Here's another prayer. I wrote this on May 1, 2011...



Tonight as I was laying in bed, ready for sleep,the Lord stirred my spirit and told me to get up, turn on the closet light, and wake up. I did, and paced the floor for a few minutes,trying to wake up my everlovin' brain, and wondered what the deal was. It's always interesting when the Lord wakes me up. I then went into another room and saw the news on the tv, that Bin Laden is dead. I was covered in chills and my eyes filled with tears as I saw the cheering crowds waving flags near the White House gate. I was moved to pray. Here's my prayer...





Heavenly Father,

There are many enemies against and within this country, but today we have this victory, that one has come to justice that is not only America's enemy, but Your enemy. May we be encouraged and filled with a deep sense of new patriotism, not based on the old way and tradition, but based on Your truth and Your word.



May the people of America open their eyes and see the contrast between dark and light through this event, may we see what it is that Bin Laden stood against,what he attacked, what good was being,and still is, fought against. May we open our eyes to evil and good, and grow in a new direction. May this event be a catalyst for change in our minds and in our hearts, may we seek goodness and wholesome living, may we live clean and sober lives in Your sight, may we seek and value righteousess. May we be wise and rejoice in this victory, but not stand and throw rocks on his grave. May we move forward in a positive direction.



America is reaping the fruits of her labors, some good and some sour. May we as a people be humbled in Your sight, and grow in wisdom, and through these days of chaos may many souls be won into Your harvest. For it is more than the land we live in and more than the nation itself; it is in the people who live here and in their souls. May Your harvest be plentiful throughout these difficult times.



Thank You Father for this victory and for this justice. God bless this country America, may no evil touch our shores that is not filtered through Your hand and allowed by Your will. Place a ring of fire around our borders, may nothing touch us, above or below, that is not allowed by You. God bless the people of America, please keep each one of us safe, in wars, in plagues, in all things that come against us, may no person be harmed that is not allowed by You. We love You Lord.



Thank You Father that I live in this wonderful country, thank You that I have been raised in freedom.



In Jesus Name I pray,

Amen.
