I know not by what methods rare But this I know God answers prayer. I know that he has given his word. That says that prayer is always heard And will be answered soon or late. And so I’ll pray and calmly wait. I know not if the thing I sought. Will come in quite the way I thought. But give my prayers to him alone. Whose will is wiser than my own. Assured that he will grant my quest. Or send some answer far more blessed.
This nation needs our prayers. We have a political crisis unlike any this country has faced in its 240 years of existence. The Republican party has nominated a childish buffoon as its presidential candidate. The Democrats have nominated an amoral, pathological liar as its presidential candidate. Only God can help us. Each night when my wife and I kneel in prayer, in addition to praying for our children and others, as well as the poor and the needy our prayer goes something like this: “and please bless this great country. Wilt thou please intervene in our political system and rise up an honest leader who understands the role of government to preserve the freedoms we hold so dear; one who will protect and defend the constitution. And Heavenly Father please touch the hearts of the voters throughout the land. Bless them to choose wisely when voting.”
It was through prayer that Columbus was guided to America. It was through prayer that miracles guided George Washington to victory in the American Revolution. It will be through prayer that leaders will be chosen who will preserve our freedoms and protect us from the pernicious intrusion of government into our personal lives.
If we, the voters of this nation, will remember Him who has all power to guide and bless the lives of all mankind, will turn to him in humility and plead for his blessings on this great land, we can make a difference.
