“While the believers in God are letting the enemies of God decide the future of our country?”

You really think that God can’t handle this? That’s not showing very much faith in God! :)

These things play out on HIS time line, not ours.

“Don’t tell God how big your troubles are; tell your troubles how BIG your God is.”

Maybe God wants to see how we handle this? If God just handled everything, the world would be much different. This is our proving ground.

This comes down to a basic question of faith - how much are we supposed to do as opposed to what God does. The farmer plants seed in the ground, waters it and tends to his plants until it is harvest time. That is the farmers responsibility. He doesn’t just pray to God to bring him a bountiful miraculous harvest without doing any work. If God did everything for us then we would do nothing for ourselves and we would not grow. We are supposed to take care of those things that are our responsibility such as tending to our families, communities and government, and God takes care of those things that are beyond our powers.
