The saddest thing about September 11th is that we didn’t learn. Back then, as One Nation Under God, we knew where our Help would come from – God! And we were not ashamed to ask Him for it or Thank Him for it!
Many radio stations, not just Christian ones, played prayers and Christian songs. The Christian songs often had excerpts from President Bush’s speeches. And radio stations were proud to play them and people were grateful to hear them.
Neighbors reached out to neighbors and Churches were filled to overflowing. We were a kinder and gentler nation. Faith filled, it was the best and worst of times. The attack on America, that caused the death of so many brought out the very best of the American people!
We were, indeed, One Nation Under God 🙂
But we are not now. Anger and bitterness fills many areas of the country. Not only has our nation refused to turn to God, it has turned away from God.
An evil type of selfishness, the root of all sin, has taken root.
There is only one way to turn our country back to God, and back to the Great Country it once was. And that is prayer.
We need to pray daily. For faith, for courage, and for love for others, real love, to fill to fill our hearts. For only then can we have hope that we will be Restored 🙂
