Heal our Land!

Some days I feel like crying out to God! I cannot remember a time of such turmoil and uncertainty in the financial stability of our country. Every day I read more and more about the desperation of people to save their investment portfolios, save their retirement accounts, save their homes from foreclosure, what about saving themselves? It is heartbreaking the stories I have read, a man killed his family-wife, 3 sons and mother in law, then himself because of his financial loss? and then another man killed his family to spare them the "disgrace" of financial ruin but failed to hang himself in Vienna.

Every day I need to read more and more of God's word. Here is what I read today: 1Timothy 6:17-19 "Command those who are rich in this present world not to be arrogant nor to put their hope in wealth, which is so uncertain, but to put their hope in God, who richly provides us with everything for our enjoyment. Command them to do good, to be rich in good deeds, and to be generous and willing to share. In this way they will lay up treasure for themselves as a firm foundation for the coming age, so that they may take hold of the life that is truly life."

These people do not know nor understand what is "truly" life, living for Christ and not for ourselves. Their hope was not in God. I need to say it more, show it more, pray more. Please help me!

2 Chronicles 7:14

"if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land. "
