Pray For The United States of America
Today is the US Independence Day. Independence Day honors the birthday of the United States of America and the adoption of the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776.
From the 13 original British colonies, the United States has grown into 50 states and one federal district that together span more than 3.5 million square miles.
Though the US has grown to be the world’s super power, the values of the founding fathers is being eroded by civilization, freedom, tolerance etc.
Mass Murder Rising!
Adam Lanza fatally shot 20 children and six adults at Sandy Hook Elementary School in December 2012. Andrew Engeldinger shot five dead at Accent Signage Systems in Minneapolis before killing himself in September 2012. Army veteran Wade Michael Page opened fire on six Sikh temple members in August 2012. James Eagan Holmes killed 12 people and wounded 58 at the midnight premiere of The Dark Knight Rises in July 2012. Ian Stawicki opened fire on Café Racer Espresso in Seattle, killing five, in May 2012. Jake England and Alvin Watts shot five black men in Tulsa, Oklahoma, in April 2012. The deadly list of mass murders goes on and on and on.
According to a New York Times investigation published in July 2012, there were only one or two mass murders each decade until 1980. From there, we see a dramatic spike. There were nine mass murders in the \’80s and 11 in the 1990s. The Times recorded 26 since the year 2000—before several of the high-profile mass murders listed above occurred.
Pray that God will visit the nation again and raise men who will be able to declare the truth come what may.
Pray also that the body of Christ in America will be a voice of wisdom from the Lord concerning terrorism and violence.
Ask for wisdom in operation for President Barrack Obama and all in authority in this great nation.
Pray for the protection and safety of the US military that are fighting around the world.
