‘SO HELP ME GOD’ STANDS

J. Grant Swank, Jr.


Michael Newdow and the American Humanist Association told the judge to X-out “. . .so help me, God” from government lips, pointing particularly to the President’s inauguration pledge. The judge said NO.


Newdow, atheist, makes his life’s goal forming an atheist America. It won’t work.


America will not turn totally against God. There are segments that do. So what’s new? The fight has been going on since time’s start.


America will continue to be blessed by God, disciplined to be certain, but blessed by God. Why? Because of two particular prayer blocks.


One prayer pantry is the full shelves of founding parents who sincerely beseeched the God of the Bible constantly—in and out of government. They never apologized for it. They just did it.


A second prayer pantry that is full are the present-day Christians who genuinely ask God to bless this country from shore to shore. They fight atheists and agnostics who oppose the prayers. They know the baseline of the battle. And they know that prayer works.


Therefore, “. . .so help me, God” will continue to continue.


By the way, there is prayer in schools every school day. Every time a believer prays within his and her heart on school grounds, there is prayer in public schools. That will never end.


There is prayer at town meetings. There is prayer at state conclaves. Those who are present with Christ in their hearts bring with them the power of prayer.


“The effectual, fervent prayer of the righteous avails much.” How much? Only God knows but since God wrote it, that prayer must count for more than any mortal could imagine.
