How far has America come to where prayer isn’t welcomed. Asa prayed to God in a battle with the Cushites (Ethiopians) in which he was out numbered at least 2 to 1 (probably more). He knew God would fight for him, but he had to ask Him first. In the same way President FDR prayed a nationally broadcast prayer over the radio on June 6, 1944; D-Day (read it here http://www.historyplace.com/speeches/fdr-prayer.htm ). America welcomed his prayer, and God honored it. Could you see a current US President praying on tv? Could you see our current president praying in public? There would be a lynch mob and so many lawsuits, the courts would be so backed up they would cease working. Where has the people’s reverence for God gone? In the same place their morality has gone to, the dump. The hope I have in this world the world can’t touch, because my hope is in the One not of this world. He lives in Heaven. My job is to tell people about Him, one person at a time.
9 Once an Ethiopian named Zerah attacked Judah with an army of 1,000,000 men and 300 chariots. They advanced to the town of Mareshah, 10 so Asa deployed his armies for battle in the valley north of Mareshah. 11 Then Asa cried out to the Lord his God, “O Lord, no one but You can help the powerless against the mighty! Help us, O Lord our God, for we trust in You alone. It is in Your name that we have come against this vast horde. O Lord, You are our God; do not let mere men prevail against You!”
2 Chronicles 14:9-11
