In this time and at this hour, the United States must reconcile itself not only before the one who blessed our creation and who sustained us as a people and a nation, but before our brothers and sisters throughout the world.

We have greatly troubled the world since we became the king of the mountain. It has not been enough for us to enjoy our success in Pax Americana - instead we became an exporter of transgression, waywardness, evil wickedness, perversion, rebellion, and sin. And we have imposed ourselves in the most violent ways upon the people of other nations; ruthlessly bombing cities and villages, destroying the lands and the countries, disrupting their societies and their abilities to provide for themselves - even robbing their resource wealth.

And what was the purpose of all of this? Was this done in the name of freedom? Mostly, it was done in the name of democracy. But the United States is not a democracy - it is a republic of which some portion functions within the bounds of democracy. Yet we raised this evil god among others, simply asserting they had no right to object (as did Aristotle) to the principals of democracy.

And yet at home, we were everything but a democracy. Instead we were a kleptocracy (stealing the wealth of other nations like Libya, Syria, Afghanistan and Iraq), a corporate autocracy (where corporations rule all of the actions of the central government); a corrupted oligarchy (where the decisions of our judges are based only on partisan principals), and a wicked and vile tyranny (run by unelected back room swamp monsters who live and thrive on unbridled perversion).

Repentance is called for - as a nation we must repent and seek forgiveness. But it also behooves us to pray for our enemies and our friends alike. As we seek out the teachings of scripture, is their a model prayer we can follow? Let's take a look.
