Why Do I Pray?

As she got in the car and drove away. I said a prayer to keep her safe and let her feel my love throughout the day. You never know what lies ahead. That’s why I say the things I said. Lord please keep her safe till she comes back. For you never know how the devil may attack. The world itself has become a threat. That is why I thank God for America it still is the best country yet. Although we have slipped and nearly fell. As long as we keep trusting in the Lord we will prevail. But all of this I am saying is but one mans opinion. Right now the world has the capability of blowing itself to oblivion. Right now each country is poised and ready to strike. All it would take is just one computer glitch or voltage spike. I feel for certain it will happen but I don’t know when. Every weapon created has been used over and over again. And the weapons we have today are the most savage in every way. Capable of killing everything on this planet all in just one day. To say I’m concerned I guess you’re right. My only defense is my prayers to God, morning, noon, and night. I pray for my family and my fellow man as well. And I pray that the devil goes straight back to hell.
