Wasn't it Daniel that got on his knees to repent not only for himself, but for the sins of his nation?  He knew his situation, slavery under pagan kings, was God's Judgement.  Did Daniel or any of the prophets specifically pray for the health and prosperity of their ungodly kings or captors?

I see people wanting to continue praying for blessings on this country.  When do we realize this country no longer deserves it and a Just God cannot let it go on much longer.  He's blessing His people individually, but I wounder if America has stepped too far over the line.  I'm not the least "scared" over the past few months of economic breakdown, or last night's results.  DH and I have had a real calm, and the LORD has blessed us abundantly this year.  We are out of debt and capable of being nearly self-sufficiant. 

I worry about those who beleive everything will be okay if they have enough faith and get enough people to pray...  We've been living on borrowed time in the US.

I hope I don't sound pessimistic (I'm horrable at spell'n sorry)  I'm excited for the Messiah to come back, and THAT is what I'm praying for, not to further postpone the enevitable...

We should always be prepared for catastrope.  This is the last days!  Watch out.  Don't hold up treasures here on earth that can come to naught (ie the US Dollar, vehicles with payments, and homes in Mortgage)... 

I beleive we need to be praying prayers of repentence and praying for the LORD to come quickly.

I look forward to more comments!
