Oh God hear us as we cry out to You. Forgive us. Heal our land. We are desperate for You. You are ALL we got. Oh hear us and have mercy. Open our blind eyes, unlock our deaf ears, infiltrate our hearts, minds, and souls as only You can do. Wake us from our slumber. Intervene as only You can do and draw our hearts, minds, and souls to You, enable us to love You Father and honor You for Your precious Names sake, in Jesus name, amen.

“I wait for the Lord, my soul waits, and in his word I put my hope.” –Psalm 130:5

Let's get on our knees before Him and worship Him, being still before Him and seeking His face and being in awe of such a face as His, for what wondrous love He has for us, this ONE Who sits on the throne. He is the great I Am. Let us sing in unison with all of heaven in adoration. Father may it be so, in Jesus name, amen.

received this in an email today:

DIVORCE AGREEMENT--
WRITTEN BY YOUNG COLLEGE STUDENT
The person who wrote this is a college student. Perhaps there is hope for us after all.

DIVORCE AGREEMENT


THIS IS SO INCREDIBLY WELL PUT AND I CAN HARDLY BELIEVE IT'S BY A YOUNG PERSON, A STUDENT!!! WHATEVER HE RUNS FOR, I'LL VOTE FOR HIM.



Dear American liberals, leftists, social progressives, socialists, Marxists and Obama supporters, et al: We have stuck together since the late 1950's for the sake of the kids, but the whole of this latest election process has made me realize that I want a divorce. I know we tolerated each other for many years for the sake of future generations, but sadly, this relationship has clearly run its course.



Our two ideological sides of America cannot and will not ever agree on what is right for us all, so let's just end it on friendly terms. We can smile and chalk it up to irreconcilable differences and go our own way.



Here is a our separation agreement:


--Our two groups can equitably divide up the country by landmass each taking a similar portion. That will be the difficult part, but I am sure our two sides can come to a friendly agreement. After that, it should be relatively easy! Our respective representatives can effortlessly divide other assets since both sides have such distinct and disparate tastes.



--We don't like redistributive taxes so you can keep them.


--You are welcome to the liberal judges and the ACLU.
--Since you hate guns and war, we'll take our firearms, the cops, the NRA and the military.


--We'll take the nasty, smelly oil industry and the coal mines, and you can go with wind, solar and biodiesel.


--You can keep Oprah, Michael Moore and Rosie O'Donnell. You are, however, responsible for finding a bio-diesel vehicle big enough to move all three of them.



--We'll keep capitalism, greedy corporations, pharmaceutical companies, Wal-Mart and Wall Street.


--You can have your beloved lifelong welfare dwellers, food stamps, homeless, homeboys, hippies, druggies and illegal aliens.

I
--We'll keep the hot Alaskan hockey moms, greedy CEO's and rednecks.


--We'll keep Bill O?Reilly, and Bibles and give you NBC and Hollywood .



--You can make nice with Iran and Palestine and we'll retain the right to invade and hammer places that threaten us.


--You can have the peaceniks and war protesters. When our allies or our way of life are under assault, we'll help provide them security.



--We'll keep our Judeo-Christian values.


--You are welcome to Islam, Scientology, Humanism, political correctness and Shirley McClain. You can also have the U.N. but we will no longer be paying the bill.



--We'll keep the SUV's, pickup trucks and oversized luxury cars. You can take every Volt and Leaf you can find.


--You can give everyone healthcare if you can find any practicing doctors.


--We'll continue to believe healthcare is a luxury and not a right.
--We'll keep "The Battle Hymn of the Republic" and "The National Anthem."


--I'm sure you'll be happy to substitute "Imagine", "I'd Like to Teach the World to Sing", "Kum Ba Ya" or "We Are the World".



--We'll practice trickle-down economics and you can continue to give trickle up poverty your best shot.



--Since it often so offends you, we'll keep our history, our name and our flag.



Would you agree to this? If so, please pass it along to other like-minded liberal and conservative patriots and if you do not agree, just hit delete. In the spirit of friendly parting, I'll bet you might think about which one of us will need whose help in 15 years.



Sincerely,


John J. Wall


Law Student and an American



P.S. Also, please take Ted Turner, Sean Penn, Martin & Charlie Sheen, Barbara Streisand, & ( Hanoi ) Jane Fonda with you.

received this in an email today:

On the Today Show, Matt Lauer interviewed one of the wives of one of the Navy Seals killed this weekend. He asked her what she would say to her children about their dad and how she would want them to remember him.

She said, and I quote, "His love for Christ", and then continued with a few other things.

Throughout the day and on MSN homepage, when the story is replayed, they have edited the "Love of Christ" part out. Why? Because using the word Christ might offend someone.
Well, I am a Christian and I am offended! Offended that they would edit it out. Offended that we as Christians are asked to tread lightly so as not to offend someone of another religion.
I think anyone who missed the original broadcast this morning should know what NBC has done. This man loved his country and loved his God and gave his life for both, just as Christ gave His life for him.

Please feel free to copy this and forward it to everyone on your email list. There are e-mails that go around saying, "If you believe in God", then forward this. Well, I am starting one right here, right now. I am not ashamed of God, but I am becoming more ashamed of my country. It is time to take a stand.


This nauseates me.

Update:

ok, i did a bit of research, and in the video in this link the phrase in question is not deleted.

Oh God, our merciful, gracious God, Who LOVES us and places Your grace in our sorry hearts, minds, and souls. THANK YOU for ALL You are. I cannot fathom how inexplicably glorious You are. Oh intervene, minister, and steady us as only You can. I lift Your banner high. I THANK You for all You have done, and will do for us, Your children, including those who do not know who You are , yet. You are gllorious. Intervene as only You can. Win hearts, minds, and souls, this day, in the name of Jesus, amen.

"We will shout for joy when you are victorious
and will lift up our banners in the name of our God."

Oh God, write me into Your Great Story. It is my heart's desire. For You have rescued me from the dominion of darkness and shone Your light on and through me. You have rescued me from sure destruction and set my feet on a steady path, and You light it before me. You are a Lamp unto my feet and a Light unto my path. You are my Shepherd. You lead me and guide me. You protect and defend me and so many times i'm not aware of it until after the fact. Your angels encamp about me and surround me. You are a faithful God, my loving Abba, and Your Spirit teaches me in all things and gladdens my heart, mind, and soul. May Your name be glorified forever, in the name of Jesus, amen.

how long O Lord, how long? All falls as dominoes. Devastation takes hold. Bereft am i. Hear me. Intervene and minister as only You can, in the name of Jesus, amen.

"The burden which Habakkuk the prophet did see. O LORD, how long shall I cry, and thou wilt not hear! even cry out unto thee of violence, and thou wilt not save! Why dost thou shew me iniquity, and cause me to behold grievance? for spoiling and violence are before me: and there are that raise up strife and contention. Therefore the law is slacked, and judgment doth never go forth: for the wicked doth compass about the righteous; therefore wrong judgment proceedeth." ~Habakkuk !:1-4

Thank you Abba that you hear us and that You are a Lifter of our heads, in spite of what might be raging around us. thank You that in the twinkling of an eye you can change our mourning to dancing.

....and sometimes, like now, i need to just be still before you and sit at Your feet, and be still, just be still, and not a stir make, and the cares of this world forsake, and bring them all, and lay them down and sit there, sit there and not make a sound. And as my breathing falls in line with Yours and Your heart beat calms mine, all else is forgotten as your inexplicable presence surrounds and fills me.

Oh God my heart breaks. I love this nation, and the freedoms and liberty You established for us. Yet before my very eyes they are stomped on, cast aside. You're all we have. All we can do is cry out to You. For all is lost if You do not intervene as only You can. The burden is so heavy i can hardly breathe. Even if our nation's ears are closed and so many are blind and deaf, welcoming the destruction as if their senses have been singed and deadened, YOU DO hear us. Oh hear me, us, Your people crying out to You, in Jesus name, amen.
