Pray for Our Country

How many people do you know or have seen that sport a "Pray for Our Troops" magnet on their car? Or how about "God Bless America"? How many of those people that proudly bought that magnet and placed it on the back window, would you suppose actually do it? Sadly, I would venture to guess that very few pray genuinely for the safety of our troops, or the safety for our country. I would also guess that even less, ever consider praying for the President that is always caught in the middle of decisions that effect every one of our lives and are getting smacked in the face with new scandals trashing their name. Do you ever think about the dangers our soldiers go through not just on the battlefield but in their own circles? We live in an immoral world full of people trying to make excuses for their own actions by pulling others with them. I know that our soldiers are under that very same peer pressure ever second they are away. Do you ever pray for them? I believe our country is in danger. Not just the danger of terrorists or nuclear warfare...but the danger of the consequences of turning our back on God. If I could challenge my fellow Christian Americans I would say this, don't buy the bumper stickers and magnets if you aren't going to truly take that time out of every day and pray for those you claim to love and support. Those who are not believers in the one true God, why would you pray to the God you don't serve or believe in? Do not give reason to be called a hypocritical American or even worse a hypocritical Christian. These stickers are meant to be a reminder...a call to action. Wouldn't it be great to know that every car sporting these requests and proclamations about our country, was really praying and really cared? Pray for our country.
