   Oh, we need one BADLY!  This is "MY DAILY PRAYER!"
   
   FATHER, in Your Name – “JESUS,” I come to you thanking and giving You ALL the GLORY for everything You’ve done, You are doing and You will do!  I thank you for sending Your GLORY “AS OF” Your only begotten Son – “JESUS” for without HIM, we would be “nothing!” 
   
   I thank you for Your anointing and as is ALWAYS my prayer “When I open my mouth, let the world see “JESUS” for “there is none other Name given among men, whereby we MUST be saved” (Acts 4:12)!  LORD, “guide me,” so when I open my mouth, it is YOU and YOU ONLY who is “glorified!” 
    
   “Give me now wisdom and knowledge that I may go out and come in before this people: for who can judge this thy people that is so great” (II Chronicles 1:10)?  You Promised, You would “never leave me nor forsake me” (Deuteronomy 31:6) and “I BELIEVE!”  I come to You asking “That the eyes of their understanding be enlightened; that they may KNOW what is the HOPE of Your calling, and what the RICHES of the GLORY of Your inheritance is for saints, And what is the exceeding greatness of Your Power toward us who BELIEVE, according to the working of YOUR Mighty Power” [paraphrasing; Ephesians 1:18-19]!
   
   Bless them LORD!  Give them “new eyes” and “new ears” so they can “understand” the “Greatness of Your Mighty Power!”  Remove “stony hearts” the world has created in them!  Give them the “understanding” of what YOU SAID in John 4:23-24 “TRUE WORSHIPERS “MUST” worship You in SPIRIT and in TRUTH” for that’s the ONLY “language” You Speak! 
   
   LORD, I KNOW “You desire no one is lost” (II Peter 3:9) so I ask these things in YOUR NAME – “JESUS!”

   I don’t know about America, but the rest of the world is surviving quite well without the muddled reasoning and hysteria I am already reading in comments on your initial question.
   I hate to have to be so rude as to inform one of two of them, and to one in particular, that very emotional little sermon relied on an improvable set of theories. And these she has tried to substantiate by quotes from religious tracts.
   God, one must realise, or the existence of God, can not be proven. Believe in Him, if one must, and I also believe that He exists, but only as a matter of faith.
   My goodness, next minute these people will be expecting us all to believe that everything in the Bible is true, In fact, it must be taken word for word and that the world was created in seven days, or something ridiculous like that – or that this scheme of things has only existed for about  5,700 to 10,000 years. But that would be silly, wouldn’t it? I mean, who would subscribe to that theory? Even the most rabid Christians couldn’t go that far.
   And frankly, why is it that when someone shouts (as in using capitals to make a point) the following badly punctuated sentence:
   “FATHER, in Your Name – “JESUS,” I come to you thanking and giving You ALL the GLORY for everything You’ve done, You are doing and You will do! I thank you for sending Your GLORY “AS OF” Your only begotten Son – “JESUS” for without HIM, we would be ‘nothing!’” someone else doesn’t reach for the telephone to call the police?
   It’s no more, or less, stating a held belief than if I were to call out: “Allah hu Akbar!” 
   And “I keep hearing that there will be one, and I believe there may be, but not enough to divert what is coming--which is God's wrath upon America.”
   God’s wrath on America? What’s all that about?
   Eek!
   The end is nigh.” “Prepare to meet your doom.” And “Blah-di-Blah-di-Blah!”

    The world continues to improve, and though America as we know it was established using cruelty (annihilating Natives, enslaving Africans, and oppressing the poor), it is striving to right these wrongs, and is becoming continually more sensitive to the plight of those less fortunate, both here and overseas.  Yes, we could use a revival, but I don't think a Christian one would be a good idea, since it has a history of victim-blaming, criminal coddling, and basically demands obedience to muddled instructions without questioning. 
    Currently, the only religions doing well are Buddhism and Baha'i Faith.  Buddhism, which is far more ancient than Christianity, has no history of holy wars.  Baha'i Faith strives to do away with all classes and racial / gender prejudice, and make the world one big country.  I'm all for a Buddhist / Baha'i Faith revival!
