Pray to Solve National Problems

Are we blind to what has been going on in the United States of America over the last 40 or 50 years, maybe longer?

It’s been a slow but sure downhill ride for all of us in many areas, from the quality of our school system, the drug problem, lack of respect for our government leaders, along with not caring about our environment and waterways—this is only the tip of the iceberg.

So what can we do, as our country is being attacked from the inside out? Most people say there is nothing we can do about it.

I say it’s past time for all people to start going back to their house of prayer—churches, synagogues, etc.—and pray for our country; for our leaders that they make wise decisions that will turn around what has been going on. They say prayer can’t do any harm and it may do some good.

We have taken the name of God out of our schools; now look what is going on with our schools and country—it’s not so good.

Let’s do the right thing and give prayer a try again; it’s worth a try; it will, in time, set a good path for us to follow. It may be the only answer and we need answers real fast.
