With One Cry: A Renewed Challenge to Pray for America

by David Butts

America is in a downward spiral spiritually, morally, and economically. A weakened Church seems to make no impact on society. Is there still hope for America?

Yes!

Most Christians believe that much prayer is needed for America. But most do not know how to pray in an effective way that will release the power of God on behalf of our nation. Weaving together Scriptures and stories from America’s past With One Cry confronts our current situation, and provides hope for our future.

But we, as believers, must pray!

Above all, With One Cry will inspire you and equip you to pray God’s purposes for our nation. Will you accept the challenge? Together, as God uses our prayers, the course of our nation and history can be changed.

I appreciated David Butts honest appraisal of Christianity in the United States today. I agree that this country is no longer a Christian nation, and that the church must accept this and adjust its mind-set accordingly. Americans used to have a basic understanding of the Bible and a moral compass based on Biblical principles. But this is no longer true. And this fact should influence the way that we pray for our churches, for our country and for those around us. The Christians ultimate goal should be to share the love of Christ with a culture that does not know him, remembering that it is prayer that changes men's hearts and nations.

With One Cry is a powerful, quick read, of the importance of prayer and the most powerful ways of directing our prayers.
Many important key points are addressed with quotes from several "founding fathers, to the changes in our country and government since then up to our present day. With the upcoming elections, it is most important we unite our prayers together, asking for wisdom and direction for not necessarily a righteous person but one whom God can lead.
Author, David Butts, suggests one needs to put trust in God not in the country nor a human being. He discusses various "awakenings". I particularly like the way he suggests Christians approach his/her nation not as Christian culture but as a missionary-minded nation where we do not force Christian ways on others, but strive to understand their attitudes and views without judging them.
If we can unite in prayer - regardless of what our religion is - great things can again begin to happen and the Constitution and greater peace will abound because of it.
In addition to the "Prayer Points" throughout the book, The book ends with a National Prayer Accord - a prayer guide for specific times Quarterly, Monthly, Weekly and Daily.
This is an inspiring, well written book.
