Father God, the recent readings in my Bible Recap (to which I am listening more than reading!) talk a lot about Your anger at Your wayward people and the need--yes, need--for corrective punishment. It has made me consider the possibility that the era in which I am living will not go unpunished. It has even made me wonder whether there may be an inevitability about the ongoing decline of this culture and the continuation of the willful evil and corruption in American politics and in American evangelicalism.
It is breaking my heart.
Please, Abba, reach my beloveds. I am listening to The Chosen's Season 4 aftershow, and it is validating these themes from another period of time: from Lamentations in the Old Testatment, to Jesus's own time on earth, and right up until this year. I don't know anymore how to talk to my unbelieving relatives and loved ones, especially given the terrible examples of our Christian family (or some of them). Help me NOT to be one of those bad examples. Help me remember to pray constantly for Your will to be done. And help me to obey You everywhere You are working out Your will in front of me.
