Where Do We Go from Here?

I think the following discusses some things we all need to consider, and do some praying that we all need to do.  The following is an e-mail that I received on Friday after the election.  It was obviously written by a priest, but I present it here unedited for your consideration.  -- Harley

I was very dismayed when, recently, a family member of
mine said   to me with great resignation that Obama will take the
presidency. These   words came from someone who in the past has been a
great prayer warrior.
 

 What is happening?' was my question. Why are   we Christians settling and
not issuing a battle cry and falling to our knees and   taking our country
back? We allowed ourselves to be stripped of the right  to pray at school
functions and in school, we have the 10 commandments  removed from
government places and are told we cannot pray in  school, all the while
providing public prayer places for Muslims. What in  the world is going
on and why are we being apathetic? Why aren't we  praying?

Our God is a mighty God who is waiting patiently for   us to raise

world today.

Now we find we have a charismatic candidate for   president who
does not respect our flag and refuses to wear one on
his lapel except   when it becomes politically expedient and whose own
wife and pastor that  he loves profess to have strong anti-white feelings,  

and we sit back and   say 'it is a given, we can do nothing.' There
has never been a time in   2000 years that we can do nothing,  

never a time that   we must sit back  and allow the evil in men's  

and women's hearts  to take over our world.

We should be very afraid because our apathy is leading
us to perdition.

It is time for all Christian Americans to raise the   battle cry
and take our nation back. Maybe McCain on his own
cannot defeat Obama, but our God can and He will if we take to  

our knees in   prayer and raise   a mighty cry to the heavens to 'Save us O
Lord.' We have the power tochange the course of this election and to  

keep a man   as suspect as Barak
Obama from leading our country to who knows where with
his message of   'change' - a change which I fear will be away
from our Christian ideals  and away from Christ and further away  

from one natio n under God to one   nation under Allah.

We are great at passing stories and pictures around   the
Internet, but where are our prayers and prayer 

warriors praying to stop   this tide of Obama? God parted the red sea,  

Jesus rose   from the dead,   and we can bring our country back to  

its Christian   roots and stop the
move to the rise of Muslims in our country. We can
