To all those who read my blogs, I could not write today.   The only thing I could do was pray.  Please forgive me if I am insulting you with my prayers.  My heart is heavy today and you were on my mind.  So, I prayed for you personally and for our blessed America.  Please take a moment and say a prayer for those who are hurting because of the politics of our nation.  Then, pray for our nation.  Because our God is an Awesome God.

 

Here’s my prayer…

 

Dear Lord:

 

The headlines are not good in America today.  And, You are an Awesome God.

 

Politicians are playing with the lives of the people.  And, You are an Awesome God.

 

Jobs are gone.  And, You are an Awesome God

 

Money is tight.  And, You are an Awesome God

 

Food and gas are too high.  And, You are an Awesome God

 

People are losing hope.  And, You are an Awesome God

 

We have strayed away from you.  And, You are an Awesome God

 

We ask your forgiveness.  And, You are an Awesome God.

 

We ask for courage.  And, You are an Awesome God.

 

We need a miracle today in America.  And, You are an Awesome God

 

There are many who need to feel your peace today.  And, You are an Awesome God

 

Those in power need to see you and tremble in your presence.  And, You are an Awesome God

 

Thank you for loving us even when we don’t deserve it.  And, You are an Awesome God

 

We love you God because you loved us first.  You are Awesome!

 

Amen.

 

Meet my friend Rich Mullins.  He came into my life as a young mom and his songs were played in our home daily.  Rich died in a tragic car accident but he left his footprint on the hearts of millions who love our Awesome God.

Thank you Billie.  I was just listening to my Rich Mullins CD yesterday and also remembering when he came to our church years ago.  His song says it all "Our GOD IS awesome!"

Billie,

I too join you in praying for our nation. The more we drift from the less we are capable of making good decisions, political and economic. Could that be his judgment against us? Until the nation returns to Him and, without shame, fall on our knees before him things could get worse. The lack of political will, the confusion of indecision, the absence of courageous leadership, the futility of the process, and the willingness to abandon solid principles are the symptoms of a nation without divine leadership. 

 

It's what I attempt to address in my novel, OMEGA The Fight to Reclaim America for God.

 

Prayer, rather than being "the only thing we can do," may be the most important thing we can do!

I love this song and agree with you!

From the time we accept Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, God who commands the sun which provides the day and the night will bless us as individuals and as a nation. 

 

I pray that I and our nation will find favor with you O' God and that You will once again show us Your ways so that we might find favor in Your sight. Consider too O' God, that this nation is thy people and return your blessings upon the United States of America so the world will once again see us as a Christian Nation, a shinning light upon the hill and a beacon of hope to the people's of the world!

RYAN NICHOLS - Hardened Criminal?? Seriously??

If you're not already aware. This is what's going on in DC while dangerous criminals are allowed back out on the streets.  It's horrifying that this is happening to our citizens and veterans for protesting the hijacking of our election process. This is still happening! They are STILL being tortured and treated like full on terrorists. 

You may not be aware of the typical things they're forced to go through...…
