George Washington gave us what was called "The Thanksgiving Proclamation." It was given in 1789 and backed by both Houses of Congress. The Thanksgiving Proclamation concluded with these words: To promote the knowledge and practice of true religion and virtue and generally to grant unto all mankind such a degree of temporal prosperity as He alone knows to be best.

We were not perfect then and we are not perfect now. It is not about being perfect, but having the humility and wisdom to recognize our need for God. It's not the economy that will save us unless it is God's economy. It is not the environment that will save us unless it is God's environment. Let's all pray for another Great Awakening to spread across our nation. God's healing and blessing will spread to all people in a blanket "of temporal prosperity as He alone knows to be best."
