Many in America want to pray for our nation. But how? Praying for our own agenda to me, at least, feels arrogant. I’ve given it a lot of thought, and I’m convinced that we can do no better than praying the Scriptures. The verse I’m proposing is relatively short, easy to remember, and embraces all 3 Abrahamic faith traditions–Jewish, Christian, and Moslem. Truth be told, I think it can resonate even with those who have no faith tradition, because I believe there are a wide variety of ways to pray. The verse is Amos 5:24:
Let justice flow like a river, and righteousness like a never-failing stream. (NIV).

I personally am trying to pray it 5 times throughout the day, beginning at 9 a.m. & going through 9 PM at 3hr intervals–or whenever I happen to think about it. It takes very little time.

If you find this strikes a chord with you, please do share. I think this country needs all the prayers we can get. & others can join in praying for their countries using it as well.
