“Father, you say in your word that unless the lord watches over the city, the watchmen stay awake in vain. Father, we are a nation without a rudder, adrift.
“Father, we think we’re so smart. We’ve kick you out of schools. We’ve kicked prayer out, we’ve kicked the Ten Commandments. And we’ve replaced them with drug-sniffing dogs and armed police officers and metal detectors.
“Lord, forgive us. Father, we’ve trampled on holy matrimony. Lord God, we’ve killed so many babies and we call them a choice.
“I remember Deuteronomy 30:19, Moses called Israel to choose life so that we and all our descendants could live. Lord, our descendants aren’t living.
“We’re killing them in the womb. Father, you also say in your word that the borrower is a slave to the lender. We have totally forgotten your word and your precepts and we are $33 trillion in debt.
“Father we think we’re so smart, but please lord, forgive us. Please, please put America back on the right path to worshiping you, Father. I ask this through the blood of the lamb, Jesus Christ, amen.” – GOP Rep. Randy Weber, sobbing throughout.
Weber, who has appeared many times on JMG for his anti-LGBTQ attacks, appeared here in 2017 when he also sobbed while begging Jesus to forgive America for the “grievous sin” of same-sex marriage.
As I noted in an earlier post, today’s event was organized by the anti-LGBTQ hate groups, the American Family Association and the Family Research Council.

Rep. Mary Miller lamented during today’s National Gathering for Prayer & Repentance that “we have lost our way because we have rejected you as Creator, Lord, and Savior. Now we are adrift and foolish, calling evil good and good evil. And we are bankrupt, morally and financially.” pic.twitter.com/E8ODdOrojx
