PEACE for AMERICA

 

Prayers and verses for an embattled nation.

I wrote this post yesterday, but look what GOD has for us today -- so much in keeping with the times!

The timely 8 November 2020 "Verse of the Day":

"I exhort therefore, 

that, first of all, 

supplications, 

prayers, 

intercessions, 

and giving of thanks, 

be made for all men; 

For kings, 

and for all that are in authority; 

that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life 

in all godliness and honesty."

and see good days, 

let him refrain his tongue from evil, 

and his lips that they speak no guile:

and do good; 

let him seek peace, 

and ensue it.
