Pray For The USA

I suppose there is a reason why I look at it this way.  To me, July is a month when I truly reflect upon my love for this country.  The United States of America is a great country.  It is a great country in spite of the fact that some of the it's political and business leaders are not impeccable. Well, what can I say?  Do we expect perfection from people?  We can do our part to keep some of them in line, but most of us do not have that kind of time.  But we can pray.  When it comes to the topic of prayer, volumes could probably be written.  My point in this short message is this: Pray for this country.  As I have already mentioned, patriotism rings clear for me during July.  As you probably have already surmised, it is because it is the month when Independence Day is celebrated.  Perhaps that is the reason.  However, I am patriotic 12 months a year.  We live in a great country.  Prayer has a great deal to do with it.  "Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord."  Of course this nation is blessed.  And, of course we need to keep on praying for it.
