May history always remember the day the
President of The United States humbly acknowledged God our Creator
at the annual National Day of Prayer on May 2, 2019. My heart was
filled with love for humanity, faith for a gloriously transformed
nation, and hope for a better day there in the Rose Garden of the White
House yesterday.
The sincere prayers of our Vice President and
our First Lady set the tone for the impactful message delivered by
America's 45th president; Donald J. Trump. As the President spoke, tears
filled my eyes, and during the lovely worship song, I heard myself
resounding along with many gathered there: HALLELUJAH!
President
Trump reaffirmed "In God we Trust" in so many ways. His strengthening
of America's religious freedom, his affirmation of the
sanctity of life from the womb to the tomb,
his compassion for those burdened by the opioid crisis; all of which
are powerfully blanketed in prayer by those in support of the POTUS
agenda, is so very encouraging.
When
Rabbi Yisroel Goldstein called President Trump a healer,
the resounding amens from among those gathered were remindful of the
need of a great awakening. President Trump recently said he believes in
redemption. Indeed, God has placed America on a path to redemption.
The Spirit of the Living God is upon many of us, evident in the POTUS delivery on promises of
criminal justice reform, economic assistance for everyone,
sanctity of life, compassionate humanitarian intervention and so much more.
Indeed,
we are red-blooded Americans, endowed by our Creator with certain
inalienable rights. President Trump has rightly noted that we all bleed
the same. We must thank God for this insight.
In this light,
let's pray, "against all odds," for our President, his family, and his
valiant administrative team; for their continuing strength and success.
As we remember the ministry of the
Prophet MLK, we must come together; as the
one blood human race, created in the image of God:
we are not colorblind.
Looking ahead to 2020,
as we choose abundant life, may we learn to live together as brothers
and sisters; so that we do not perish together as fools.
As we are moving forward in prayer,
let us continue to pray; to unite in God's love and mercy. May God bless us to see the day that America is redeemed and whole, amen.
