The Prayers I Pray For My Country

One nation under God.

The Prayers I Pray For My Country
Jesus Freak Mommy

Every night, I say a prayer for my country. Our country is falling apart more and more, day by day. Instead of being a nation together, we are fighting one another. Instead of being united, we are divided. We should be focused on our future president and fighting ISIS; instead, we are making goofy memes and tweets about the election, and we are destroying our own country while ISIS is sitting back letting us do all the work. I pray for my country, and when I pray for my country, I always think about this verse from 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 I will hear from heaven, then I will forgive their sin and will heal their land." God wants to heal us all, but we have to let God take control. I pray for my country, and this is what I pray.

I pray that we will seek God in our time of need. I pray we will allow God to heal us and take over our land. I pray that we will be one nation under God.

I pray for our next president. I pray that he/she will do as God wants and not give in to their selfish ways. I pray that the person who deserves it and will do best for our country will be the winner.

I pray we will stop killing one another. I pray that everyone will realize all lives matter. Everyone matters, and nobody deserves to be shot and killed. I pray that people will realize cops are not bad guys, just like all blacks are not trying to cause a scene. I pray people will realize it's all about how you carry and present yourself to the world.

I pray for law enforcement safety. I pray that the working men and women can have a simple day of work and not worry about leaving their family without a loved one. I pray that the country and rioters will realize the police are just doing their jobs, and they are normal people. Just like you and me.

I pray for peace. I pray that our country can have peace within our nation. I pray that we can come and be united as a whole. I pray our country will get back up on its feet and be that strong nation that it used to be.

I pray for a country that people will not be afraid to raise children in. I pray that our children will grow up knowing the history of our dear nation and will do their best to keep their nation at its best.

I pray that the people of the United States will stop harming one another. ISIS is out there watching us. I pray that our country can open their eyes and realize we are doing exactly what ISIS wants us to. We are doing ISIS's job for them if you really think about it.

I pray that our country will be safe again. I pray that we will feel safe in large crowds. I pray that, one day, large crowds will not bring tragedy and terror. I pray that people will be comfortable in their daily lives.

I pray for the LGBT communities. I pray for their safety and their protection. I pray that they can feel safe in a nation that claims to be a free country. I pray that they feel free in their homeland.

I pray for blacks and, yes, whites. I pray that blacks will be safe and are not accused for the wrongdoing of another black man. I pray that young blacks growing up are not generalized as bad children. I pray for whites, that they are not all rich and judgmental snobs . I pray for the safety and protection of everyone in this country, no matter what race.

I pray that one day, our nation will not see color but love. I pray that one day, our nation will see God and not evil. I pray that one day we will be united, and not divided.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
