Franklin Graham's Thoughts on National Day of Prayer 
Evangelist Franklin Graham, President of the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association (BGEA), called the nation to prayer today on the annual National Day of Prayer. Graham said in a Facebook video post that he believes prayer is so important, esp. at this time in our country's history. He stated our country is in trouble and has been in trouble. Graham said our nation has been in a downward spiral morally, spiritually, etc. He stated our only hope is for Christians to pray and for God to intervene on our behalf.
Graham is exactly on target. America needs prayer like never before. Without a divine intervention from God, this nation will go asunder. To my knowledge, America has been coming apart at the seams in a major way since the hippie protest movement of the 1960's and the moral and spiritual condition of America has continuously deteriorated since. As much as I'm for Christians being politically involved in the affairs of our country such as voting, attending events, or even running for office, America's problems won't be solved by the political process. There are some things that can be done on a political level. But there are many problems our nation faces in which there is no political solution toward. Only almighty God can heal our land. In closing, let's remember the famous scripture verse from II Chronicles 7:14, "If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land." That's the only promise we have in America.
