Did you not know that the g in God is capitalized out of respect for His deity?
AND I guess you CAN get liberals to pray, just not for the right things. (not a jab, just an observation.)
This thread was offered as a chance to pray for the healing of a broken nation and peace...not to pray against anybody. You're just throwing coals on a fire that is too hot already, so when you pray, pray first for your own salvation...THEN pray for peace and healing. I assure you, God will hear those prayers.

Pay attention to statistics and numbers pertaining to the economy

the stock market was in a very stable growth during Obama's years, it's a bit shaky now and likely to tank as a result of a multitude of things that make investors nervous.

Obama posted over 80 straight months of jobs growth, so Trump stepped into that as a benchmark and one would expect the trend to continue

This administration is setting policies that are going to be very hard on specific industries such as the solar industry

Trump is directly responsible for altering the price of oil, which we are seeing manifest as rising gasoline prices, not a good thing for the economy
because the cost of everything goes up as a result of that one thing. Starting an inflationary curve will affect the stock market.

Tax policies are going to have harsher consequences than are being predicted in all respects, which will have other ripple effects

Willy nilly poorly thought out (no thought at all) tariff and trade policies remain to be seen where and what they affect.

Keep praying we survive the mess being created, I'm not seeing the making america great again thing. Our economy was in far better shape than where it's going to be soon.

Seems to me as though every prediction of failure on Trump's policies has proven to be false f**gs. The economy has exploded with unprecedented growth, not crashed. We are not at war with N. Korea. Or Iran. The price of oil took a spike but gas is 15 cents cheaper this week, a downward trend. Black and Latino employment is at historic levels. One million new jobs in one year...ONE MILLION!!! This comes after eight years of almost NO new jobs and stale wages. Willy Nilly seems to be hitting it out of the park every time he's at bat, while naysayers say he can't do that.
My stepdaughter is one of the many who received a $1,000 bonus. N. Pelosi called that crumbs, but where were those crumbs when the Kenyan Kid was in office? ................................(silence). I rest my case.
Yes, we are divided, and we will continue to be so until the left decides to rejoin the rest of the country.

Nowadays it is very hard to find common ground between the liberals and the conservatives, yet I may have found one.

I was so upset at the actions of Barrack Obama in 2014 that I put my trust in the Lord, Our God!

I started a topic that ran for 151 days called Praying for America through the Psalm of David.
It was successful. I invited all walks of faith to pray to God. At the time, I felt that God was the answer as I do now.

I am thinking about starting the topic up again. However, instead of having it just a conservative thread, I want to invite my liberal friends to it. I only ask that you pray to God from the heart after I post the Psalm. Since this topic is for prayer and prayer only, I ask that you only pray to God as if you are typing your grievances to Him and Him alone. Not to our fellow members that post political gargen that end up causing arguments. The purpose of the re-boot is to pray to God, for we are a faithful nation. Second, it is to give an escape to us from the cut throat politicians on this site, and relax in the family of God.

bdamage, Beark, and even AuntieEm, joined me in the last adventure through the psalms and it brought peace and hope to the conservatives, that we journeyed with. Now, the stakes are higher. It is not that God, put Trump into office. God made Saul, king of Israel and he was regarded as an evil king. No, but that the people needed a new fresh perspective. It worrys me that the people are not getting the point.

So to chase the evil fears away, and to reunite America, I thought of doing the Thread again. But mind you this rule of the topic is this:

Be respectful of each other's posts when they are in prayer. When I am in prayer, I will begin it with, "In the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. Amen" I will conclude my prayer with the same. This is what I do. Every person has a different way of praying. Now mind you, when you pray, pray from the heart. Someone may be sent by God, to help you through your problems.

If we are adults here, we can respect each others viewpoints and religious asperations. We should be able to respect each other's prayers to the Almighty too.

We need to re-unite this country, and the best way to do it is in prayer. We, Americans are a family. And the family that prays together stays together.

I understand the negative feelings that the Democrats and liberals feel towards the conservatives. This comes with being intolerant to different points of view and perspective. I get that. But I cannot condone the hatred. I have been called everything under the son, from a Saint, or an Angel, to a bigot and a r****t. I am none of these, I am a Human. I am a Man. And being a Man, I sometimes go too far in my principles, where I need to step back and reevaluate myself, and prayer helps out with that.

I am also Roman Catholic and have a Roman Catholic Conservative view point, but being one of God's children in the quest for wisdom and knowledge, I will entertain a variety of views. Some I will agree with, others I will disagree with. But when presenting these problems to the Lord Our God, I will not interfere with that conversation. I will keep it as written.

So coming up with this idea, I wanted to ask anyone who stumbles upon this topic, whether I should reopen the Topic and go for another 151 day journey. This time I want all Americans to join it. Whether they be Jews, Christians(which includes all denominations from Catholic to Baptist, Mormon, Pentecostal, or even Evangelists. All Christians anyone who believes in Christ), I would also welcome Muslims. For all are God's children.

Through Christ, all can gather together peacefully, and be civil with one another. Although some may not believe in Christ, we must make them feel welcome in my topic. The topic of my idea, is based upon a story I was once told. I read it online from a woman who's son was a Navy Seal. He was sent away to get Bin Laden during the Obama administration. So they made a pact to pray, once a day, starting with the first verse of the Psalms of David, and meditate on the Psalm. For 151 days, the woman did not know the whereabouts or the status of her son. She said the last Psalm and the next day, he returned to her unharmed. Inspired by this story, I started in 2014, Praying for America, through a Psalm of David.

Many conservatives, including myself, disagreed with the Obama administration and were attacked by them. On this website alone, I was cussed out and labeled a bigot. But everyday, I would post the Psalm and a prayer. And everyday the attacks would keep coming. When I ended the first journey through the Psalms, I started a second journey. Then a third until work picked up and I could no longer write them. It was Christmas time of 2015, when I ended one of the journeys and that was the time when Trump was running for President. Eventually, He would win. From January of 2014 until November of 2016, I was unemployed and had no degree. And I watched the hatred of the Democrats demoralizing me and what I stood for. Posting the Psalms was the only way, I could do anything. Then in June of 2016, I graduated and by November I was working again. Steadily and Trump was president. Go figure.

Prayer does work. If you are Conservative today, do you remember when you were liberal, yesterday? No person is strictly one or the other, you are either liberal or conservative your whole life through, you are a combination of both. I have learned this, when I watch all these groups fighting each other, for what? I mean really? For what? To everything there is a purpose, we live, we die, we make war, we make peace, we love and we h**e. I promise that if we try this simple journey through the Psalms of David, that some will revolt, but the greater majority will try to work together.

However, I am wondering what you think? Would you post your prayers, to take advantage of this good will, I am attempting to spread? I comment once a day, after work. So let me know if you want to try this. Comment below. Please respond to me. Thank you and God Bless you all, liberals and conservatives alike. We must end this feud between us. That is a must. How will you do it? Our future is in all of our hands.

Ranger, I have been reading the responses to your post and I have changed my mind, I won't be joining you. My communication with the Diety needs to be unsullied with the mundane trivialities and the iniquities of politics and it doesn't seem that this is possible on this forum.

I agree. If you read the entire post, it was going smoothly without politics until a liberal said he would gladly pray for impeachment. The left fired the shot that got the politics rolling. I won't sit back any longer, trying to dodge bullets. This whole prayer thing was over division of our country. Does this not show who is responsible for the division? I also believe in the power of prayer but you may as well not invite libs as one of them will mess it up pretty quick. It was a blessed thought though.
