• A PRAYER GOING FORWARD

I have been taking notice of the comments on Facebook and elsewhere by many people who are friends of mine, concerning CPAC and the various people that are speaking there. Some of these speakers are great, and some are spectacular, and some are kind of -- well -- flat.

So as I have been reading the different people saying different things and voicing wildly varying opinion on the different speakers, I realized that we are not exactly forming agreement quickly over who is going to best lead conservatism going into the midterm elections.

We are spending too much time on 2012, if you ask me, and not enough time on getting out the vote for 2010. That should be our primary focus, without question.

So since it seemed to me that we are going to need some help with this, I went right to the Lord, because He's the one who can really help. He's the one who can give us some great candidates to vote for, and great leaders to help our nation out of this horrible predicament we find ourselves in.

So I wrote this on Facebook and I share it with you here:

Dear Lord: I pray that YOU will bring us the right candidates for times such as these. YOU and you alone know the leaders that we need to save this country Lord. We haven't always paid as much attention as we should have Lord, but we're paying attention now.

Our country has fallen apart politically, but that's not as im...portant as the fall we've taken morally Lord. YOU know that all too well. So we pray for leaders to rise up that can lead us back onto the right path.

We understand that not all of the candidates will have views we always agree with. Lord, there may be some candidates that aren't as conservative as we might like; there may be some who are less moral minded than we might like, but we ask that YOU guide us into voting for the right people for the right time.

YOU Lord can see to it that our political leaders do the right thing. Father, YOU can nudge even Harry Pelosi, or Nancy Reid, or even -- yea Verile -- Barack Obama to do the right thing.

Lord, we pray for our misguided, confused and selfish leaders. We pray that you might cause them to wake up one morning, and realize they need to make new choices. They need to get to know YOU Lord.

Thank you Lord for helping us out of this mess. And we pray it in your Son Jesus' name - Amen.
