The proper prayer in every situation is that God’s will be done; He is in charge, and he knows better than we. I fear the situation is much worse than you outline; since about the American Civil War (the start of the “Progressive” movement that led first to Anarchism and then rejection of the faith, then to Communism) one sees increased evil in the world, a decay of morality, and evil triumph over good again and again, as though God’s Holy protection is fading, as He allows evil to reign in preparation for the last days when He unleashes His own wrath on the world. A part of me wants so badly to see good triumph in the world now, but realize that is just my hatred of evil and ego, and that I must trust God to do His will. So, I am prepared to see the just perish, and me, at the hands of the wicked if we are truly in the last days.
Amen
He is the Safe Harbor
Thank you so much, for you have so clearly articulated my deepest sorrow about the long slow decline (I am constantly hearing the lines of the poem “Dover Beach”, by Matthew Arnold, in my head)
We need to support one another with the truth taught in our Bibles, even if we have a hard time accepting it because we want a happy ending. We do not want to admit that we do not deserve one, and our only hope is Jesus Christ, our Lord, who endured unspeakable torture to save every one of us from our sins, if we only turn to Him and ask.
