Salvation Sunday: NOTHING Wrong with Prayer

The Texas Governor Rick Perry prayed yesterday. And that has made a lot of Liberals angry. Because he prayed with others. So why is that wrong?

It's not.

But Liberals are super angry. Perry hosted a National day of prayer at Reliant Arena that drew roughly 30,000 people and that was broadcast on cable Christian channels and the Internet nationwide.

He didn't do it at the Governor's home. He didn't do it at the State Capitol. He did it, as a man based in faith, concerned for our Country. And there's nothing wrong with that.

"Father, our heart breaks for America," Perry said during 12 minutes of remarks that included prayer and Bible passages. "We see discord at home. We see fear in the marketplace. We see anger in the halls of government and, as a nation, we have forgotten who made us, who protects us, who blesses us."

And there's nothing wrong with that. If Liberals are so upset that the Governor prays, it makes me wonder what they think about America's first Ambassador to France, Benjamin Franklin as he invoked God in many of his famous quotes. A few?

"Rebellion to tyrants is obedience to God."

"Freedom is not a gift bestowed upon us by other men, but a right that belongs to us by the laws of God and nature."

"This will be the best security for maintaining our liberties. A nation of well-informed men who have been taught to know and prize the rights which God has given them cannot be enslaved. It is in the religion of ignorance that tyranny begins."

There's nothing wrong with prayer. If I had a leader who was an atheist, THEN I'd be worried. Because without God, there is no reason to be humble.

After all, 2 Chronicles 7:14 says, "If my people who are called by my name humble themselves, and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and heal their land."

And we need healing. So I say to you, continue to pray. Continue to ask God for our help. We need His Saving Grace.
