There is so much evil in America and our children are being misled and they don\u2019t know what is right.  Our leaders are being bought to do evil and their gods are money and power.

We hate being wrong.  I had to admit to God that I was a sinner and beg for His forgiveness and turn from the wickedness I was doing before I could be saved.  This is not a one-time commitment.  I find myself doing wrong constantly and I need to ask for forgiveness every day.<\/p>\n<p>Prayer Dear Lord help me through another day.  Help me stay on the path that you have chosen for your servant.  May I be steadfast in serving you and helping others find comfort in you.
