I used to pray for God to have mercy on this country, but I don’t anymore. I did try to do it recently, and I felt a strong compulsion to stop.
Maybe a message that the time for mercy has passed? If so, I don’t wonder why.
All we can do is hold to God and to what we know is right. But I know what you mean; seeing what’s happening around us is beyond difficult. It’s intolerable.
God may be trying to tell you: you are looking at the superficial. The mercy the country needs is not that even of saving babies’ earthly lives but that of saving souls from hell.
It’s possible that we are beyond redemption.
I don’t see how it is possible to forgive what has been done, I just don’t see how.
But Jesus died for us. You know, he loves us, I don’t know why, but He does.
I don’t know how to stop this. Maybe it isn’t for us to stop, even though I would really like to think that there is a way, because it is intolerable as you say.
But, I tell you, even though I don’t know how to stop it, and even though maybe we have gone to far, I don’t what Him to hear silence when He should hear prayer.
Maybe a whole bunch of people don’t care, but I want Him to know that I care, so right now I am going to say the Lord’s Prayer out loud.
