Prayer for our country

I have been “praying a hedge of protection around our country and those that dwell within its boundaries. May we be be protected from all harm and evil afrom those trying to destroy it.”

I wouldn’t mind if others that are willing to join even word it better.

Then the angry part of me slips in sometimes and add that I hope all those working to destroy this country from what she was meant to be get hit by bad stuff and suffer in hell.

slip into your prayers.

Try turning it into something a little more positive. Instead of praying for them to get caught in a tornado or have engine failure at 50,000 feet in the air, just pray for them to be powerless to carry out their hate policies. Leave the "how" part up to the universe, or God, or whatever you believe in.

"Dear God, let the immigrant round
up plan fail spectacularly."

"Dear God, please let Haitian immigrants safely blend in with Gullah communities on the Atlantic coast so the MAGAs never find them."

"God, please let the bit coin computers crash."

"May the people who lose incomes band together to help each other survive."
And, "May good people find the courage to give them a hand, even if it means smuggling food and other necessities to them under the noses of MAGA officials."

"May the decent people still left in America have the courage to band together in solidarity and say, 'Enough of this crap.' And bless them with protective gear before they make their stand."

Out of frustration etc I think that did run thro my head.
“have engine failure at 50,000 feet in the air”
I like this wording
“just pray for them to be powerless to carry out their hate policies.”
Hopefully all their policies
.
I want to remain a democracy - I want elections to continue to be done and be fair.
That’s another prayer.

Prayer can set our minds on the right direction. Then the actual work is up to us, with a prayer for the courage to act and the wisdom to act effectively.
