Hear O America

Spread the love

“Hear therefore, O Israel, and observe them diligently, so that it may go well with you, and so that you may multiply greatly in a land flowing with milk and honey, as the Lord, the God of your ancestors, has promised you. Hear, O Israel: The Lord is our God, the Lord alone. You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your might.  Keep these words that I am commanding you today in your heart.” Deuteronomy 6:3-6

The lord put upon my heart at Mass this prior weekend to pray for our nation. Tomorrow brings an election that could have dire repercussions for our future and this USA. The election isn’t to move the people back to God, though it could have an impact on basic tenets of our faith – protection of life.

God put on my heart these words from Deuteronomy as the basis of this prayer.

“Hear therefore, O America, and observe them diligently, so that it may go well with you, and so that you may be a blessing for freedom and life in a dark world as the Lord, the God has decreed from your first days. Hear,

O America: The Lord is our God, the Lord alone. If you return and love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your might, the blessings of Almighty God will pour down upon you and your people. America you will again receive God’s grace from sea to sea and again be a beacon all the world looks to. Keep these words that today in your heart.”

“If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.” 2 Chronicles 2:14
