do we realize what we're forsaking?

So, President Obama who " cites that he prays in private and he doesn’t feel the need to observe the day at the White House" cancels the National Day of Prayer observance in Washington...
If the head of the entire country will not humble himself in public and admit that he cannot govern alone - that WE as a people cannot survive alone, than I wonder how much longer we WILL survive.

Don't you DARE tell me this is old fashioned.

Slowly but so surely freedom of religious expression is being closed in on. How much longer will we be able to even observe a National Day of Prayer?.....


To the God who will always have a remnant, we pray in the words of President George Washington,
"since thou art a God of pure eyes, and wilt be sanctified in all who draw near unto thee,
who doest not regard the sacrifice of fools,
nor hear sinners who tread in thy courts,
pardon, I beseech thee, my sins, remove them from thy presence, as far as the east
is from the west, and accept of me for the merits of thy son Jesus Christ,
that when I come into thy temple, and compass thine altar, my prayers
may come before thee as incense; and as thou wouldst hear me calling upon thee
in my prayers, so give me grace to hear thee calling on me in thy word,
that it may be wisdom, righteousness, reconciliation and peace to the saving of the soul in the day of the Lord Jesus.
Grant that I may hear it with reverence, receive it with meekness, mingle it with faith, and that it may accomplish in me,
Gracious God, the good work for which thou has sent it. Bless my family, kindred, friends and country, be our God & guide this day and for ever for his sake, who lay down in the Grave and arose again for us, Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen. "
