A Nation

There is a nation that needs your prayer.
They have the highest standard of living in the world, but it is at the expense of others around the world, and when their influence in wealth will not get them what they want, they use their military might to take it.
They have the greatest resources in the world, but continue to waste and destroy them for profit.
They have the greatest educational system in the world, but they exclude many of their own people from it.
Their judicial system was set up for blind justice in a beautiful way, but they now use it to benefit the powerful and oppress the brown and black folk among them.
They have a welcoming beacon in their most busy harbor, but have ignored those who have come and now actively try to deport many of them.
They have set up a wonderful, equal system for democracy, but have now sold it to the highest bidders, and actively work to keep some from exercising their rights to participate in it.
They have the wealthiest individuals and corporations in the world, but still take bread out of the mouths of their most vulnerable rather than make those with all the wealth pay taxes or pull their share of the nation's load.
They have the opportunity to provide healthcare for all their citizens and end the crippling financial burden on families and the nation as a whole, but out of greed and lust for power and the exclusivity of a few, they refuse to let the most vulnerable get the medical care they need.
They have the most diversity of spiritual practitioners in the world, but are intolerant of anyone who is not of the same religious practice of the majority.
They have the chance to be the light to the nations in so many ways, but they continue to do what they do only to benefit themselves, and even in that - only the most wealthy and powerful among them.
The soul of the nation described is dying.  Its is the most perfect expression of corporate sin in the history of the world. Yes, a whole nation can and does sin.  Pray for the nation described above.  Pray that it will learn the lessons of Jesus on how to live Agape Love.  Pray that it will turn around from its greed, lust for power and prestige/position above love for others.  Pray.
