All things else being equal, the destiny of a man or nation may safely be predicted from the idea of God which that man or that nation holds. No nation can rise higher than its conception of God.
A.W. Tozer Sermon:Our Faith Reflects Our Concept of God

Romans 11:33-36 (NASB)
33 Oh, the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are His judgments and unfathomable His ways!
34 For who has known the mind of the Lord, or who became His counselor?
35 Or who has first given to Him that it might be paid back to him again?
36 For from Him and through Him and to Him are all things. To Him be the glory forever. Amen.

The scriptures give us a picture of the many attributes of God; those characteristics which give us a view of Him. It is that idea of who He is that determines what we think of God and how we worship Him. Different commentators have their list of attributes that are derived from scripture references. They form two major categories – attributes that only God has (incommunicable), and attributes that God shares with His creation (communicable). Of the incommunicable attributes, the following are often given.

Infinite – cannot be contained within any boundaries
Immutable – unchangeable
Omnipotent – all powerful
Omniscient- knowing all things
Omnipresent – present everywhere without limit

Since God’s character and attributes are unchangeable, it is our concept of God that limits us. Especially if we degrade or dismiss the incommunicable attributes of God. Nations have done that throughout history, only to fall and pass into oblivion. If we can truly grasp even part of the six attributes above, our only reaction would be to reverently worship Him. And then after we understand through scripture the love, mercy, and grace He has given us through the sacrifice of His Son for our sins, that worship grows into love for Him. That love then manifests itself with prayers of praise and thanksgiving.

Father, your character is beyond my full understanding. You are infinite in wisdom, you are just, and you are loving. I pray that as I meditate on Your attributes, your Spirit will bring forth prayers of praise and thanksgiving that honor You. I pray that our nation would turn back to You in a way that glorifies You. Amen.
