O LORD, my foundation and my salvation, why are You allowing such wickedness to continue and even to grow?
We know that You are God; Yours is the victory.
Why, then, may I ask timidly, are You allowing so many battles to be lost?
What do You want me, and Your faithful people, to do?
I cry out in the depths of my spirit for revival and for repentance.
I struggle with anger and outrage and deeply profound grief and sadness.
I fear--yes, I fear--for the future of my beloveds and for the future of this country.
I feel hopeless and helpless in the face of this onslaught of lies, defiance, hatefulness, and upside-downism.
I know that there is always hope when You are present and working. I remind myself of this blessed truth often because the overwhelming darkness threatens this spark of light.
Abba LORD, I am privileged to call You my Father and my God. I do not understand Your ways.
I will, however, put all my trust and hope in You.
There is no one else.
