America Needs Jesus

My prayers go out to all of those families that have been impacted by yet another shooting in America.  These days are troubling indeed.  Many people are wondering what can be done to prevent another tragic event from unfolding in another place in America.  There are no easy answers I am afraid.

There are some that think blaming the weapons and preventing other people from owning weapons will cure the problem.  I find it odd that when people are stabbed with knives and run over by vehicles there is no one calling for the ban on those items.  During those times the person who did the horrible crime is to blame and that should be the case in this ungodly event as well.

America doesn't have a weapon problem.  America has a heart problem.  Hearts have been hardened over the years.  People have turned away from the true living God and have turned to immoral lifestyles.  We have sinned against God as a Nation and now we are reaping what we have sown for many years.

The problem doesn't lie in one political party or the other.  The problem doesn't lie with that group over there or the group over here.  The problem lies with in each of our hearts.  Our hearts have grown cold and we have distanced ourselves from one another.  We have failed as a people and as a Nation to love the Lord our God with all of our hearts, minds, bodies, and souls.  We have also failed to love our neighbors as our selves.

We must repent of our sinful ways.  We must turn away from the hatred and anger.  We must turn away from sexual immorality and other immoral ungodly lifestyle.  We need to turn back to God the Father through faith in Jesus Christ the Lord.

Jesus is the only hope that this country and every country has.  We need to address our heart problem and turn back to God before this Nation stops being completely one Nation under God and becomes one Nation gone under by God.

The Lord is trying to grab our attention.  He is seeking people to turn to Him to fins peace and hope.  Please reach out to the Lord Jesus Christ.  Find hope and peace in Christ alone.

Lord,
I come before You in the Name of Jesus.
There has been another shooting in America.
I pray for those families who lost loved ones.
I pray for that woman who doesn't want any to pray for her.  
Touch heart and comfort her with Your love.

We as a Nation have sinned against You time and time again.
We have become angry and hateful towards others.
Hearts of many have grown cold.
Have mercy on us O Lord.
Please Heavenly Father forgive us our many sins.
We have sinned against You and we pray that You would have mercy on us.
I pray that You would turn people's hearts back to You through You only begotten Son, Jesus Christ.

In Jesus Name we pray,
Amen.
