Will we live or die.... only God knows.

I will be so glad when this day is over. Election day. In the past, I haven't been that concerned about this specific day. I did my civic duty, and trusted that others would choose rightly. Well, obviously this last two election days, they did not. For the past eight years, we as Christians have been persecuted (as in bakery and flower shops being sued for refusing an order) for our religious beliefs - and yet, other "religions" are recognized and awarded. Our country has been divided racially like it has never been before. Our power as a successful nation had been diminished and nearly destroyed. We cannot share our faith in our offices, are not to have religious items displayed - even at Christmas! (but I do anyway) Christ is being removed when He is the Supreme sacrifice for us.

This morning as my husband and I prayed for our nation, for this election, we prayed that the curse upon this nation brought on by the current - and some past - presidents would be broken. We prayed for healing in our nation. We prayed that God will break the curses due to selfish and self-centered gain by individuals and by political parties. And, although I knew I shouldn't, I prayed that God would bring devastation and curses upon those who have destroyed our Christian nation.

Will God answer me? Probably not that I will ever know about, but I do pray that He will raise up the leader who will rebuild America and bring her back to a righteous nation, one that will be honored as a nation who serves God first and does what is right.

For so many years we have been spiraling downward into the abyss and only God can help us now.

Am I afraid of what the outcome could possibly be today? Yes, I am. I am terrified that this specific person will win. Will evil prevail? I pray not. Stories of absentee ballots being marked in a 'secret room' in Florida, 83 early ballots with different names sent to one address in another city, two senators arrested for registered dead people to vote - is the foundation of the person they are wanting to elect so thin that they have to steal, lie, and cheat, to get votes?

God, will You bring healing to this nation? Will You, Lord, rescue us from the curse placed upon us? Will YOU, O God, restore us? Will You, Heavenly Father, hear the prayers of Your children crying out to You for help?

You only know how this will end. All we can do is trust You.

Help us, Lord, for we cannot help ourselves.
