During this series we explored many ways we can each pitch
in and help save this country we love from the looming darkness. We talked about standing guard over our
language and the 1984 changes being
imposed on it. We discussed bridging the education gap left by our
deteriorating public schools. We looked at necessary attitude changes – not
expecting the government to play God’s role in our lives; we spent several
posts on that issue. Last week we explored the need to think logically.
These are all things we can do ourselves; we don’t need to
trick someone else into voting like we do. We don’t have to get into screaming
arguments. We don’t need to walk around carrying posters – though I’ve done
that and it’s fun. You see, a nation gets the government – and the prosperity –
it deserves. If each of us becomes the person God designed him to be then our
nation will continue to serve Him and reap the unimaginable rewards.
This week is the final post of the series and I’ve left the
most important one for last --- prayer.
Whatsoever You Ask
It’s always been time to get down on our knees – this is
true. Our nation has seen much more dangerous periods; I can’t imagine what it
must have been like during World War II when we first realized that the bad
guys were after us, too; or coping with
the Civil War in our own back yard; or gearing up to fight the great power of
George III. But the thing that is
so scary now is that the attacks are all behind the scenes, but they are life-and-death
assaults nevertheless, in fact they are attacks right out of hell and we must
fight them. To do that we have to pull out all the stops, recognize that we
can, as mere humans, only do so much. We need God’s intervention; we have to
pray.
