ALS Prayer

We pray to you, Exalted One, whom we are forced to not name by one atheist, who is working to strengthen your adversary. It is difficult to not name You, because you are in everything I see and were once the very backbone of our nation.Our nation is now trying to cripple itself by cutting You out.

I would pray for Your blessing on this place, but why would you bless a people who refuse to even accept Your name? I would ask for a peaceful gathering today, but without You there is no peace. I cannot even ask for safety, because without you we have no refuge. You have protected our nation for two hundred years, yet we have forgotten You.

You have been force out of our government, our schools, our military, and now even our prayers. Our country will not be able to stand much longer without You, our backbone. So the only thing I can ask, Unnameable One, is that you forgive us for the mockery of praying without Your Holy Name, and not to forget the few that are still faithful.

To You and You only do I pray, Amen
