America! America!

"This evil people, who refuse to hear My words, who follow the dictates of their hearts, and walk after other gods to serve them and worship them, shall be just like this sash which is profitable for nothing.  Give glory to the Lord your God, before He causes darkness, and before your feet stumble on the dark mountains, and while you are looking for light, He turns it into the shadow of death and makes it dense darkness."
Jeremiah 13:10, 16

In the beginning of a great nation, strong godly men knelt in prayer for hours before making any drastic decision that would effect their country that they loved so well.  Humble and prayerful, the Lord blessed their efforts and blessed their country.  Rich in natural resources and with many plentiful jobs, thousands of immigrants came to the "land of the free and the home of the brave".  Founded on the solid rock of Jesus Christ, this nation flourished and people not only found physical rest but rest for their souls.  There was no nation like it on earth! 
Several hundred years past and men became "too smart for God".  Relying on their own strength and following their own selfish desires they quickly led the country away from the firm foundation that had weathered all storms and withstood all attacks.  Unrepentent and unprotected, this nation soon fell into the hands of the Devil.  Reveling in his success at taking down the first nation founded on the Bible, Satan soon infiltrated the schools, the government, the medical system, and the Biblical definition of marriage.  Living apart from the safety of God's fold and purposly walking contrary to the path set forth in the Scripture, this once mighty country now faces the sure judgement of God..........  Is that the end of America?  Shall we become an astonishment and byword [Duet. 28;37] among the ungodly nations?
Will we turn America back to the Lord before it's too late? 
"If My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land." 
2 Chr. 7:14  

This is our solution as believers.  We need to humble ourselves as a nation, realizing we've done wrong.  We need to pray for forgiveness then seek the Lord once again.  We have a very gracious Lord and Savior who would gladly receive us back into His arms if we would but run to Him. 

Will you pray with me for America? 
Learning to delight in Jesus,
Hannah
