America is again facing dark times. We need to repent and pray. Please join me in praying Conrad Hilton\u2019s prayer \u201cAmerica On Its Knees\u201d (full text below). If there\u2019s a National Day of Prayer event near you, please join them in prayer, or, just remember to pray for America, wherever you are! AMERICA ON ITS KNEES:<\/p>\n\n\n\n *** Not beaten there by the hammer & sickle, but FREELY, INTELLIGENTLY,<\/p>\n\n\n\n RESPONSIBLY, CONFIDENTLY, POWERFULLY, America now knows it can destroy communism<\/p>\n\n\n\n & win the battle for peace. We need fear nothing or no one . . . except God.<\/p>\n\n\n\n OUR FATHER IN HEAVEN:<\/p>\n\n\n\n WE PRAY that YOU save us from ourselves<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The world that YOU have made for us, to live in peace,<\/p>\n\n\n\n we have made into an armed camp.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We live in fear of war to come.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We are afraid of \u201cthe terror that flies by<\/p>\n\n\n\n night, and the arrow that flies by day,<\/p>\n\n\n\n the pestilence that walks in darkness<\/p>\n\n\n\n and the destruction that wastes at noon-day.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n We have turned from YOU to go our selfish way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We have broken YOUR commandments<\/p>\n\n\n\n and denied YOUR truth. We have left YOUR altars<\/p>\n\n\n\n to serve the false gods of money, and pleasure and power.<\/p>\n\n\n\n FORGIVE US AND HELP US<\/p>\n\n\n\n Now, darkness gathers around us and we are confused<\/p>\n\n\n\n in all our counsels. Losing faith in YOU,<\/p>\n\n\n\n we lose faith in ourselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Inspire us with wisdom, all of us of every color, race and creed,<\/p>\n\n\n\n to use our wealth, our strength to help our brother,<\/p>\n\n\n\n instead of destroying him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Help us to do YOUR will as it is done in heaven<\/p>\n\n\n\n and to be worthy of YOUR promise of peace on earth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Fill us with new faith, new strength and new courage,<\/p>\n\n\n\n that we may win the Battle for Peace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Be swift to save us, dear God,<\/p>\n\n\n\n before the darkness falls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n ***<\/p>\n\n\n\n Conrad Hilton<\/p>\n\n\n\n 1952<\/p>\n\n\n\n In 1952, \u201cPresident Truman\u2019s War\u201d in Korea was at a stalemate. The previous year, he had fired the people\u2019s favorite general, Douglas MacArthur. Truman, ironically in his fight against communism, attempted to nationalize the steel industry and had implemented wage and price controls. Truman\u2019s approval rating stood at 22% as his actions garnered a congressional… Continue reading America On Its Knees<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5,3],"tags":[214,216,46,148,45,218,213,43,215,217],"class_list":["post-252","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-devo","category-news","tag-america-on-its-knees","tag-cisco","tag-conrad","tag-faith","tag-hilton","tag-hotel","tag-national-day-of-prayer","tag-prayer","tag-repent","tag-texas","entry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.sharp.men\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/252","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.sharp.men\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.sharp.men\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.sharp.men\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.sharp.men\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=252"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.sharp.men\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/252\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":254,"href":"https:\/\/www.sharp.men\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/252\/revisions\/254"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.sharp.men\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=252"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.sharp.men\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=252"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.sharp.men\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=252"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
