A Prayer For Today

Dear Heavenly Father, please forgive us as a people and, as a nation, for where we have sinned against You.  Forgive us for the abominations, the immorality, the filthiness in all our media, and the corruption in our government.  Forgive us for allowing other 'gods' to be worshipped in our country, that our forefathers never knew.  Forgive us for allowing Your Name, Your Son's Name, and Your Holy Word, to be removed from so many things, all because they are 'offensive' to those that don't believe. 

Forgive us for what we have allowed our children to become.  We have turned them into little adults, but without the conscience, or mental reasoning it takes, to be an adult.  We have allowed them watch whatever they want, listen to whatever they want, read whatever they want, all so we don't damage their little self-esteem. 

Father, please continue to pour Your mercy out upon us.  We need Your mercy Father.  It's the only reason we are still a thriving nation.  We thank You for Your new mercies, every morning Father.  You are far better to us than we deserve. 

You are so faithful, when we are not.  You are kind, and gracious, when we are not.  You are so forgiving, when we are not.  Why You still love us as much as You do, is a mystery to me.  Thank You for being God, and that there is no other.  You are the one, and only, true, living God.  Creator of all the universe, and all that is in it. 

Thank You that You are still in complete control of all things.  Thank You for every breath that You give us.  For the food that we eat, the clothes we wear, and the shelter that You give us.  

Father, please open our eyes to the truth.  Help us to see that we need to repent of our sins, and turn from our wicked ways, and turn to You, before it is eternally too late.

Thank You Father, for hearing, and answering our prayers.  We praise Your Holy Name.  We love you.  We pray this in Your only begotten Son's Name, Jesus.  The name that is above every name.  Amen.
