Three Parties, One God

[frankmis]

I’m sure all of us have experienced vast amounts of blessings along with great tests, trials & tribulations in our lives. It’s all part of God’s great plan. I know for me, I’m guilty of two things: I don’t thank God enough and I always blame the political climate for what this country has and is experiencing.

For the past 40+ years, no matter the party, we have experienced systematic changes in the principals and values that have made this country great and blessed by God. Today, I think we can state, this is not the same America of the past.

When we finally pay attention, we rally to get our problems resolved. Perhaps we think we do!

I believe this time is very different from the past. As a nation, we have allowed ourselves to commit great sins against humanity and God’s greatest gift, we choose religious pleasentries instead of following the important message our churches (all faiths) and synagogues teach us; “All for the glory of God” We believe that someone else or some change in Government will solve our problems. We’ve lost our way!!!

I guess my point is, “We The People” have allowed this to happen to “We The People.” I further believe that God is slowly removing his hand off of this nation. Whatever your political and/or religious beliefs are, our problems go well beyond an election cycle. We need to get back to helping each other by praying to God that he guides us in finding ways to wake up our nation by praying: Pray that we vote for political leaders with a knowledge of facts and data, pray for God’s closen clergy and spiritual leaders, pray for people that would do harm to others, pray for ISRAEL God’s chosen people and their land— Instead of “God Bless America” how about “Blessed Be God?”
A Concerned Catholic…

Good point…along with the rest.
Actually, we should say The Divine Praises often, as reparation for blasphemy.

Billy Graham`s daughter summed the whole thing up publicly more than 10 years ago, after the World Trade Centre atrocity. Not the exact words, but:
“We asked God to get out of our lives; and being the Gentleman that He is, He did.”
Just after that atrocity, i said to a fellow (practicing) Catholic that the blame lay with the corrupt and decadent West; and she was shocked and horrified that i could say such a thing!
“There are none so blind…”

We should keep in mind what Jesus said to the Church of Laodicea:

I know your works; you are neither cold nor hot. Would that you were either cold or hot! So, because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spew you out of My mouth. For you say: “I am rich, I have prospered, and I need nothing.”; not knowing that you are wretched, pitiable, poor, blind and naked. [Rev. 3:15–17 RSV].

Strong words.

We should also remember what happened to the divided Northern and Southern Kingdoms of Israel and Judah, at the hands of Assyria and Babylon.

Lord, may your people elevate your holy name and live only to please you. Help us to be a nation subject to you and faithful to your commands. Help us to elect leaders who will defend life and morality. Help our Church leaders to lead their flock to Heaven. Help us to obey you and to follow in your footsteps. Thank you, Lord, for hearing my prayer.
