From: John & April Correia Subject: Encouragement's From The Heart - October 23, 1998 Date: Friday, October 23, 1998 8:10 AM A NATIONAL PRAYER Almighty God, who has given us this good land for our heritage, we humbly beseech Thee that we may always prove ourselves a people mindful of Thy favor and glad to do Thy will. bless our land with honorable industry, sound learning, and pure manners. Save us from violence, discord and confusion, from pride and arrogance, and from every evil way. Defend our liberties, and fashion into one united people the multitude brought hither out of many kindreds and tongues. Endow with the spirit of wisdom those to whom in Thy Name we entrust the authority of government, that there may be justice and peace at home, and that through obedience to Thy law, we may show forth Thy praise among the nations of the earth. In time of prosperity, fill our hearts with thankfulness, and, in the day of trouble, suffer not our trust in Thee to fail; all of which we ask through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. prayer by Thomas Jefferson (in 1801 he was elected third president of the USA; he served two terms) Our Country is in great need of prayer, sincere prayer as Thomas Jefferson's prayer above. I encourage strongly, as the children of our Awesome God, to participate in "Fasting and Prayer '98" November 12-14 http://www.fastingprayer.com/fp98.html A couple days out of your busy schedule would mean much to a hurting nation who has turned their backs on God. Join me and the many others who will be praying for this country to once again be "one nation under God ...".
