This morning I decided that instead of my regular Bible reading, I would check my e-mail to see if a blogger had something particularly inspirational to say to me. I opened my e-mail on the kindle and there first was Julie aka Cookie’s post. Good post. But I particularly want to draw you attention to the prayer at the end. Let us pray:
Almighty God, who hast given us this good land for our
heritage: We humbly beseech thee that we may always prove
ourselves a people mindful of thy favor and glad to do thy will.
Bless our land with honorable industry, sound learning, and
pure manners. Save us from violence, discord, and confusion;
from pride and arrogance, and from every evil way. Defend
our liberties, and fashion into one united people the multitudes
brought hither out of many kindreds and tongues. Endue
with the spirit of wisdom those to whom in thy Name we entrust
the authority of government, that there may be justice and
peace at home, and that, through obedience to thy law, we
may show forth thy praise among the nations of the earth.
In the time of prosperity, fill our hearts with thankfulness,
and in the day of trouble, suffer not our trust in thee to fail;
all which we ask through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen.
The Book of Common Prayer
For those who have questions about how Jesus speaks to us, I offer this as an example of his divine will and how the Holy Spirit works in a Christian. Why did I decide to read a blogger instead of a Bible passage? I have never done such a thing before. Why was Julie’s blog the top e-mail (except for ads, etc)? Why did I decide to pass this on? Most of you know it is because the Lord calls us to intercede for our nation, our president, our lawmakers.

ABOUT ME
Hello. To various folks I am Neat’nee, Mom, Grandma Neta, Gramma, Aunt Neta, Aunt Noni, Aunt Neno, and Aunt Neto (lots of varieties from little nieces and nephews). To some I’m more like “Didn’t you used to be my teacher?” or “Don’t I know you from someplace?” To you, perhaps, I am a Fellow Blogger. Not “fellow” like a male or a guy, but “fellow” like a companion or an adventurer. I would choose to be Grandma Blogger, and have you pull up a chair, my website before you, while I tell you of some days of yore. I have experienced life much differently than most of you. It was and is a good life. I hope to share nuggets of appreciation for those who have gone before me and those who come after me. By necessity you are among those who come after me and I will tell you of those who came before. Once upon a time in a little house on a prairie - oops, change that lest I commit plagiarism - and change that “house on the prairie” to “dugout on the prairie.” So my story begins...
Sweet aroma 
I am humbled Oneta— thank you and thank you always pointing us back to who truly matters— our Savior and God!
It is good to see that He is in control. Helps us keep faith when all is bleak. Thanks for being there just at the right time. Isn’t the Holy Spirit amazing!? He has promised to direct our path. We can depend on Him.
You are my blessing Oneta
I say that every day should be a national day of prayer. You have my vote if you’re still running.
I had to go chasing you down again today. Why aren’t you connected to me correctly! I love your up to date blog. Everything I get comes from the old (not current). Anyway back to the serious issue of my presidency proposition. No way I can beat Trump so being a GOP nominee won’t work. Truthfully though I can’t out-wit nor out-work him. For sure I can out-wit and out-work the Presidential nominees but the Dems are looking to Socialism – even if it comes in the guise of “tax the rich” so I can’t win their nomination. Sorry to let you down.

Oneta. Very wonderful to see this. It’s uplifting and hopeful,
Thank you. God cares about the success of our nation and for all nations who care about Him good to see you here.
I agree Oneta. Good to see you too 🙂
I so love how the Holy Spirit leads and intercedes! AMEN to this prayer!
Thank you. It is such a joy to get in step with Him. Thanks for the prayers.
You are so welcome, my dear sister! ❤
A prayer for everyday and EVERY NATION. (thank you for sharing)
One WAY, ONE GOD. One Saviour. Nothing else really eternally matters. Let us indeed PRAY.
God will have his way. Prayer will make it happen easier and quicker.
