God is in charge. Only good things will ultimately happen to Christ’s sheep.

Maybe.

Or maybe God put us here and is standing back to see what we will do.

Our founding fathers prayed to God for help, not for God to do everything for them.

God may be rather disgusted at Christians expecting Him to rescue them while they do nothing but pray.

A lot of Christians are doing more than now than you realize.

Look in the mirror if you want to give advice.

Speak for yourself.

It may be worse than that.

We pour money into the left's propaganda division with our TV subscriptions for the privilege of being entertained by them.

We built up a communist regime's military and infrastructure, that suppresses religious freedoms and uses slave labor, so we could get a cheap new TV set every year, even as we speak out against the evils of communism.

And we condemn abortion as murder even as we promote the activities that have resulted in so many of those abortions with our "eyewash".

And then we pray to God to defend us against the monsters we're funding with our indulgences?

I think God may be waiting to see which side repents first.

If so, we may be the ones losing that race.

You make a reasonable point. Also God does tell us if we lack wisdom to come to Him for that....

I recall a time when faced with a surmountable decision that had great risk either way I would decide. The tensiona and pressure was great but I still walked the walk toward either decision - never realizing God was actively preparing another way which was to surprise me. The day I had to decide i was speaking with the individual who needed an answer when I simply said I wasn’t certain I had all the options possible - at which time he spoke up saying I’ll tell you now how this is going to happen ——— there was no doubt God stepped in but also without doubt I had to walk the walk to solve myself and learn what i did as I walked it.
