Say a Prayer for America - Say a Prayer for the World with Dr. Charles Tolbert

American Statesman

November 5, 2024 is a critical day for both the United States of America and the world. Our failures of the past have lead us here and if "We the People" have repented, maybe God will continue to Bless America. but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary they will walk and not be faint. Isaiah 40:31 Dr. Tolbert We live in a nation in which we are king; we, the people, have the sovereignty—we govern ourselves. Therefore, when God tells a nation to keep His Commandments, the choices you and I make on our ballots in these very days matter. When we love the Lord with our whole heart, mind, and soul, first of all, we say, “Lord, I am loyal to You.” Loyal to Him above what? Loyal to Him above myself. So, when I go to vote, I am not just seeking my own interests; I am seeking the good of others. We want politics, policies, and government to be saturated in truth—not governed by lies but rooted in truth, starting with an acceptance of God's truth. I seek government officials who will protect my right to live my faith because this is part of loving God. Advancing these commands—of loving God and loving your neighbor—means voting against the pro-abortion ballot measures in 10 states that would permit unlimited killing of children by abortion. And loving our neighbor means choosing the best leaders for them, not just for ourselves. We must choose our leaders to shape the world according to God’s will and God’s kingdom. The time for choosing has arrived. Let us pray for our nation and our fellow citizens, that we will choose wisely. Let us choose life, freedom, law and order, security, and common-sense governance, so we may, day after day, bear witness to His Kingdom, live out our faith, and proclaim it to the ends of the Earth.
