My Prayer

MargaretBass-31

As I spend time each day journaling my time with God, I am inspired by the following prayer that is framed on my office wall, as a motivation each morning as I prepare to walk with the King and be a blessing by His grace and power throughout the day.

“Lord, make me an instrument of thy peace.
Where there is hatred, let me sow love,
Where there is injury, pardon;
Where there is doubt, faith;
Where there is despair, hope;
Where there is darkness, light;
And where there is sadness, joy.

O Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek
to be consoled as to console,
to be understood as to understand,
to be loved, as to love.

For it is in giving that we receive,
It is in pardoning that we are pardoned,
and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.” 

? St. Francis of Assisi

Dear Child,

“An abundant life is not a life full of busyness

But rather an abundant life is a life full of Me.”

Thus saith Papa

John 10:10 The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy:I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly

The Inside Story

Your words will reveal the hidden contents that are deep inside of your heart. 

Matthew12:34-37 For out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh. A good man out of the good treasure of the heart bringeth forth good things:and an evil man out of the evil treasure bringeth forth evil things. But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment. For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.

In God We Trust?

Our Schools are failing — We forbade Him in the classroom

Our Courts — Many of our courts have removed the Ten Commandments

Our Homes — We often complain our children can’t pray in schools yet fail to pray with them  in our homes.

Our Law and Order — When we have no respect or fear of God we will have no respect for any authority of police, schools or parents.

Our Sexuality — Even the very core of our creation by God as male and female is being challenged.

Our Gift of Life — We loose respect for life when we murder the unborn. As you read this there will be 3,700 babies murdered today. Since 1973 there have been 58 million babies legally killed in the U.S.A.

In all aspects of our lives we have tried to delete God’s law of sowing and reaping, leaving us with an immature  society void of personal responsible.

Political correctness is strangling our laws and the very breathe of our nation as we abuse the words “Separation of Church and State which are not even in the constitution.

So where did the words “Separation of Church and State.” come from? They can be traced back to only a letter that Thomas Jefferson wrote back in 1802. In October 1801, the Danbury Baptist Association of Connecticut wrote to President Jefferson, and in their letter they voiced some concerns about Religious Freedom. On January 1, 1802 Jefferson wrote a letter to them in which he added the phrase “Separation of Church and State.” When you read the full letter, you will understand that Jefferson was simply underscoring the First Amendment as a guardian of the peoples religious freedom from government interference.

When Thomas Jefferson wrote his letter to the Danbury Baptist Association he never intended the words “Separation of Church and State” to be taken out of context and used as a substitute for the First Amendment, but for all practical purposes that is exactly what the courts have done.

“I tremble for my country,” said Thomas Jefferson, “when I reflect that God is just; that His justice cannot sleep forever.” –

A sobering warning from George Washington on April 30, 1789, when he delivered his famous Inaugural Address to both Houses of Congress. “We ought to be no less persuaded that the propitious smiles of Heaven can never be expected on a nation that disregards the eternal rules of order and right which Heaven itself has ordained.” He had just taken the oath of office on the balcony of Federal Hall in New York City, with his hand upon a Bible opened to Deuteronomy, Chapter 28:And it shall come to pass, if thou shalt hearken diligently unto the voice of the Lord thy God, to observe and to do all his commandments which I command thee this day, that the Lord thy God will set thee on high above all nations of the earth: 2 And all these blessings shall come on thee, and overtake thee, if thou shalt hearken unto the voice of the Lord thy God.

George Washington also wrote this about what he felt made America great:

“It is impossible to rightly govern the world without God and the Bible.”

To make America great again we need God back in our government, society, homes, schools, and our lives.
