The Chaplain's Corner
by Scarlett Griffin, Chaplain
Isaiah 5:20
"Woe to those who call evil good and
good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness".
Dearest Lord, we need Your guidance as we move toward Midterm elections. We pray for Your wisdom as we seek to recover an America that lives by and
honors our Constitution. As Americans, we believe in faith, family and love of country. We need You to direct us as we face protests and anger every day. Many of us see turmoil in our country as a spiritual battle of good vs. evil. Truth comes from Your word, from places of worship that teach Biblical values, from prayer groups and Bible studies. We extend our gratitude that You love us and You are always present when we gather in Your name.
As Republicans, we need to prepare for upcoming campaigns. Help is needed knocking on doors, making phone calls, stuffing envelopes and poll watching with flyers to pass out to voters. Midterm
elections will be here before we can blink. Amen.
Scarlett Griffin
Chaplain
