Let us pray for the families of those troops who died risking their lives trying to rescue fellow Americans and their allies in Afghanistan; and for those troops who were injured still in hospital.

A SOLDIER'S PRAYER (A video from public domain)

We need a spiritual revival in our country; we need to reaffirm our belief in Almighty God and thank Him for the goodness we have in our country.  We need to pray for changed hearts in our people and in our nation's leadership.  We need a return to the Bible and all that it stands for. A nation cannot be blessed when it is not led properly and it's people do not follow God. 

 

Christians are to be led by Biblical teachings on how to make wise decisions, both personally, and at the ballot box.  The Bible is our source of wisdom, not so-called 'mainstream media,' 'cancel culture,' and 'woke'.  We must consider what we read and hear, both in our country and abroad; then weigh that against what the Bible says in order to come to a right conclusion about a matter. 

 

Like many Americans, I was heartbroken over the recent tragic events in Afghanistan.  We need a return to Christian leadership in our country and should fervently pray that it will become so.  I grew up just before the Vietnam era and lost my first college roommate to that war.  When I served in the military for over 20 years, I counseled with troops back from overseas and suffering from PTSD; worked on the psych and surgical wards in a military hospital with active duty patients back from a war zone; and, on some occasions, I had to deliver the bad news overnight to families who had lost a son or a daughter. 


This debacle in Afghanistan is a national tragedy.  We must earnestly pray for those in leadership to seek God's guidance and move our country forward in a positive direction.  The sermon by Rev. Hughes, "The Nation That is Blessed," (further down on this page) speaks to what happens to a country that does not follow the guidance which God is ready to give.
