Senator Mccain and Prayer For America

Dear Lord, look upon us graciously I humbly plea. We need you desperately in this home of the brave. Lead us from our cave of disunity in this land of the free. Contrary to what some may have thought, there are some heroes who sometimes get caught, and often don't live to tell of the battles they've fought. We must not forget the many lessons they have taught. Your son, The Christ, comes to mind who was captured, unjustly accused, and tried without mercy. He was condemned and nailed to a cruel cross of pain and shame by men full of hypocrisies and drunk with their own corruption and power. Heroes should be defined by what they did rather than by what was done to them, whether they fell in combat or lived to be tortured by their captors in a prison camp. Perhaps the death of Senator McCain can draw us together. Perhaps it's time we all pause and allow our hearts to be revamped. Perhaps it's time we still ourselves and be healed of our self-inflicted torture. Dear Lord. Bring us to the realization that only you can restore and bring our nation together. "Unless the LORD builds the house, They labor in vain who build it; Unless the LORD guards the city, The watchman keeps awake in vain. Psalm 127 08282018PoSoup
