I would like to share my priorities with you.<br \/>But first, there may be one aspect of the state of the union that flies under the radar: I want you to know that people of faith like me are intentionally uniting to pray for leaders like you\u2014for wisdom, for discernment, and for your colleagues.<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><br \/>Whether we agree or not on what America has always stood for, how America is doing, and what America needs, I want you to know that I make it a top priority to pray for you as you serve. Especially that your mind will be enlightened to Truth, not impaired by any medical condition nor influenced by the powerful group of influential people globally who have been pushing, now overtly, for our nation's demise.<\/p>\r\n","fulltext":"\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><br \/>I pray that America remains a place in which faith in our Sovereign God, who poured out His blessing on us from the beginning, can be lived out freely and without fear.<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><br \/>I URGENTLY pray that American leaders strongly uphold a culture that honors the sanctity of human life. The history of past civilizations who sacrificed innocent babies and children to their ideology is chilling. We dare not incur more of God's judgement than we are currently suffering because of murdering VIABLE, human life!<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><br \/>I am, along with MILLIONS of Americans, alarmed and outraged that the greatest nation on earth is turning to a country lacking sovereignty and identity as we employ mushy, dangerous border policies, enabling hundreds of thousands of NON-POLITICAL refugees (military-aged men from hostile communists nations) to freely infiltrate our beloved land with evil intentions against us. <strong>WHO HAS BEGUILED OUR LEADERS TO CANNIBALIZE OUR FREEDOM AND SOVEREIGNTY?<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><br \/>I pray that America will be a place where citizens do not run the risk of being labeled bigots and fired, fined, or potentially worse for holding to what the Bible clearly teaches on marriage and gender. I pray that America will promote family unity within the covenant of marriage (defined by God as between a biological man and woman), which is the backbone of a stable society.<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><br \/>Borrowing the words of George Washington in his first SOTU Address, I pray that our nation will \u201cdiscriminate the spirit of liberty from that of licentiousness, cherishing the first, avoiding the last, and uniting a speedy, but temperate vigilance against encroachments, with an inviolable respect to the laws.\u201d<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><br \/>These are my priorities. And they represent the right of every (legal) American citizen to believe in and vote for! Most of all, I pray that God\u2019s will be done. He is not done with our nation yet!<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Carol grew up in Taiwan, a daughter of missionaries serving in China.
