Sometimes your mind can draw a blank. And that is what my mind did to me. I sat at my computer and seemingly my prayers to the Holy Ghost failed me. Nothing came into my mind to blog about. I would start developing a subject and then go blank. I would sit at my computer and stare at a blank canvas notoriously paralyzed. After much prayer and frustration, I surrendered. HELP!

Then, in a soft, sweet, imploring voice I heard these words: “My child, all I want to hear from you tonight is a prayer for your country.” So, immediately, I grabbed one of my old journals and leafed through it. In it I found a prayer for my country that I had recited on February 22, 1996 entitled, “A Citizen’s Prayer For Her Country”. I pray that it will be acceptable to my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

A CITIZEN’S PRAYER FOR HER COUNTRY

Return, oh nations of the world, and more particularly the cities of the USA. Return. For you have stumbled in your evil courses. Come with your prayers ready. Come back to the Lord. Say to Him, “Father, you don’t like to hold on to iniquity, so accept our plea, and we will pay our vows with our total being. For our possessions will not save us, nor will we seek strength from false gods. What we have acquired with our hands we will never again call gods. We know now that in Thee and Thee alone the fatherless find a Father’s love.” And perhaps one day soon we shall hear the Father’s response… Yes, I will heal their iniquities; of my own treasurers will I love them. For my anger is turned away. I will be as dew to my people so that they may blossom like lilies; grow roots deep into the soil like the poplar tree; and grow fresh limbs that they may be as fair as the Olive tree; and as fragrant as the Trees of Lebanon. And my cities throughout shall again dwell in my shadow and not in the shadow of death. My people shall prosper and live in abundance: they shall flourish like a vine and be famous as the Wine of Lebanon. What has the sinner man anymore to do with self-righteousness? God says, “I’ll remind you once more! I am the pine tree that shelters you when you walk through the valley of the shadow of death; and it is to Me that your fruits or works are owed. Let the wise consider these things and let him who considers take note: for the Lord’s ways are straight and the righteous walk in them, while the sinners stumble. Let the redeemed of the Lord say so. Amen.
