The American experiment, the United States in the past eight years [2008-2016] was not considered worthy of leading, because we had committed too many transgressions.

It is possible for someone who does not know Jesus to be saved.

And if we trust in Him, if we hide in Him, if we put Him forward and ourselves in the background, depend on Him and plead His name, we may expect to have our prayers answered.

You are worthy! Let those words sink deep into your heart. You are worthy. Life can get overwhelming for us, as our busy schedules keep us on our toes. Sometimes we forget that we need to intentionally slow down, take a deep breath, and remind ourselves of our purpose, the very foundation of why we do what we do.
