I agree that we need to turn back to God, individually as well as corporately and as the North American church. If God is for us, who can be against us?

Reading your article brought forth a scripture...Hi,<br />Reading your article brought forth a scripture that I love from 2 Chronicles 7:14 where God says, "If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and see my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin, and I will heal their land."<br /><br />We need to repent and turn back to God. The United States was founded on godly principles. When we seek God with our whole heart, when we forgive and begin to walk in that forgiveness by being compassionate towards others, then God will hear us. <br /><br />It saddens me to see what my country is going through. It is heartbreaking and I personally will continue to pray for my country, because I know that when we turn back to God, there is no storm, or anything else that can destroy us.<br /><br />I enjoyed reading your article. It strengthened me.<br />Ciao,<br />PatriciaPat Garciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04204650731843984192noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7734171129596029179.post-76426213500818408622012-11-07T05:11:50.971-06:002012-11-07T05:11:50.971-06:00Dear Stenila, Thank you so much for sending a comm...Dear Stenila, Thank you so much for sending a comment, and for praying along with me for restoration and renewal of people's lives and hearts. The storm left such destruction behind, and now the possibility of a Nor'easter to add to the burden. What God gives, God can take away. I am so grateful for the lives that were spared.<br /><br />Have a blessed day and give thanks.

There is truth - God was there. If He wasn't, I think many more people would have died. We need to know that, as individuals, as a society, and as a nation. God is here. But He is also very gracious, and will leave when we show Him the door.
