I like your prayer. Thank you for it.
I struggle when I am praying - between asking God to fix this mess the way I want and to do it ASAP. But then, I am stopped by the Lord’s Prayer, which first directs us to ask for His will to be done, on earth as it is in Heaven.
I am afraid we, like Sodom and Gomorrah, as a nation have stayed so far into depravity, killing the unborn, leading little children astray, not to mention fomenting atrocities around the world. I fear we deserve the wrath of God, not as individuals, but as a nation.
I pray that we have the strength to endure whatever comes our way in the next hard months/years, that we accept God’s will, and that we do not give in to fear, but trust in God, no matter what.
a big Amen!
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.
