DAY 10 - DAILY PRAYER (REVILE) - JUNE 3, 2011
June 3
Webster says to revile is "to use abusive or contemptuous language in speaking to or about; call bad names." A definition of curse is "a profane, obscene, or blasphemous oath, imprecation expressing hatred, anger, vexation."
Father, we confess that we have tried to be careful to never revile You, but we have not been careful to not curse our rulers/leaders. We ask that You forgive us for saying words that actually curse our leaders and with Your help, we choose to watch our mouths so we will not continue this action. We commit to pray for our leaders and not curse them.

DAY 10 - DAILY HISTORY - AMERICAN MINUTE FOR JUNE 3, 2011
American Minute for June 3rd:
The Dutch sent Henry Hudson to find a water route across America to the Pacific. Though unsuccessful, Hudson claimed the land along the "Hudson" River, and there the Dutch West India Company founded New Netherlands, receiving its charter JUNE 3, 1621. Franklin Roosevelt told the Detroit Jewish Chronicle, March 7, 1935: "All I know about the origin of the Roosevelt family in this country is that all branches bearing the name are apparently descended from Claes Martenssen Van Roosevelt, who came from Holland sometime before 1648." The Chamber of Amsterdam wrote in articles for the Dutch Colony, 1624: "They shall within their territory practice no other form of divine worship than that of the Reformed religion...and thus by their Christian life and conduct seek to draw the Indians and other blind people to the knowledge of God and His word, without, however, persecuting any on account of his faith, but leaving each one the use of his conscience." The Charter of Freedoms, June 7, 1629, gave land to wealthy "Patroons" who helped 50 families emigrate, stating: "Colonists shall...in the speediest manner...find out ways and means whereby they may support a Minister and Schoolmaster, that thus the service of God and zeal for religion may not grow cool." In 1664, the Dutch Colony of New Netherlands was taken over by the English and renamed New York.

Welling: In the early sixties of the seventeenth century, Pieter Plockhoy of Zeeland province, The Netherlands, started the first of the many Utopias which shine in the pages of American history. In 1662 he sailed from Holland with twenty-four families, to establish his colony of 'universal Christian brotherhood,' ... to raise up an universal magistrate in Christendom, that can suffer all sorts of people (of what religion soever they are) in any one country, as God suffers the same in all the countries of the world.' The city of Amsterdam met the expenses of the expedition. The place chosen was on the Delaware River, & the following year forty more immigrants joined those already there. Plockhoy's Utopia was soon to come to a terrible end. It resisted the British troops of Sir Robert Carr which landed in New Netherland in 1664, & was destroyed 'to a very naile.'

Precious Lord Jesus, we come to you today, thanking you for all of your vast riches & blessings that you have bestowed upon America. Remembering, that blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord. History has recorded Christopher Columbus’ testimony that You led him to this land. We reaffirm today that you are still the God that America needs and desires to call their God.
Your precious word, the Bible, tells us, that "Thou art a God ready to pardon. “ Your people are crying out in unison for a spiritual awakening in our beloved land! We trust in the goodness of yourself to restore us to you!
Who, oh Lord, could save themselves, their own sin could heal? Our shame was deeper than the sea ... You alone can rescue… you alone can save… You alone can lift us from the grave… (Hymn: You alone can rescue)
Amen.

DAY 9 - DAILY HISTORY - AMERICAN MINUTE FOR JUNE 2, 2011
American Minute for June 2nd:
A wedding took place in the White House, JUNE 2, 1886. One of three Presidents to marry in office and the only President to wed on White House grounds, Grover Cleveland married Frances Folsom, and together they had five children. Cleveland, both the 22nd and 24th President, stated in his 2nd Inaugural, March 4, 1893: "Above all, I know there is a Supreme Being who rules the affairs of men and whose goodness and mercy have always followed the American people, and I know He will not turn from us now if we humbly and reverently seek His powerful aid." In a Message to Congress, December 2, 1895, President Cleveland stated: "Reported massacres of Christians in Armenia and the development there and in other districts of a spirit of fanatic hostility to Christian influences naturally excited apprehension for the safety of the devoted men and women who, as dependents of the foreign missionary societies in the United States, reside in Turkey." President Cleveland continued: "Several of the most powerful European powers have secured a right...not only in behalf of their own citizens...but as agents of the Christian world...to enforce such conduct of Turkish government as will refrain fanatical brutality."
