Let’s Pray for America

Let’s pray for America. On the 13^th of July, 2024, a shocking assassination attempt was made on Donald Trump. While I won’t dwell on the politics surrounding this event here, anyone who looks at this nation objectively must realize how divided it has become.

America is divided on multiple levels, not just politically. Even the church is divided. Look at the schisms within the Anglican and Methodists. Look at the Christian spats and arguments on social media. And consider the abandonment of God’s Word for the sake of the culture.

Let’s pray for America before it’s too late. It has rejected God, and has become an anti-Christian, pagan nation which celebrates the murder of the pre-born. America exults in perverse sexuality, sexualizes children, and encourages lawlessness. Sodom and Gomorrah earned God’s judgment, then why not this nation?

So let’s pray for America. But let’s begin by praying for our own revival; that of our families and friends, and that of the corporate church. Let’s focus on telling the lost about Christ and winning disciples. God spared Nineveh after Jonah finally preached to it; may America may be given a similar reprieve.
