Many of us feel like we should pray for America. My father taught me this principle about how small and simple actions can make a world of difference in a country.
“For the want of a nail the shoe was lost,
For the want of a shoe the horse was lost,
For the want of a horse the rider was lost,
For the want of a rider the battle was lost,
For the want of a battle the kingdom was lost,
And all for the want of a horseshoe-nail.”
– Benjamin Franklin
What if we all asked ourselves each day, “What is the one little thing I can do today to save my country?” And then did it… What nail do you have in your possession?
Pray for America
Mother Teresa said,
I used to pray that God would feed the hungry, or do this or that, but now I pray that he will guide me to do whatever I’m supposed to do, what I can do. I used to pray for answers, but now I’m praying for strength. I used to believe that prayer changes things, but now I know that prayer changes us and we change things.”
I love this. I used to pray for God to save my country. Now I ask every morning “What can I do today to save my country? Use me, please show me what to say or do.”
Each of us can do some small and simple things that can make great improvements in our country and society.
