I believe that every problem facing us as Americans is basically a spiritual problem. Crime is a spiritual problem. Inflation is a spiritual problem. Corruption is a spiritual problem. Social injustice is a spiritual problem. The lack of will even to defend our freedoms is a spiritual problem.
In pleading with ancient Israel, God said, “‘Come now, and let us reason together,’ says the Lord, ‘though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red like crimson, they shall be as wool. If you are willing and obedient, you shall eat the good of the land; but if you refuse and rebel, you shall be devoured by the sword’; for the mouth of the Lord has spoken” (Isaiah 1:18–20).
Will America turn to God at this late hour, or will America continue on the broad road that leads to destruction?

Prayer
Dear Lord, we confess that our nation is infested with problems rooted in sin, and we acknowledge that You are the only answer. Please forgive us, and help us—first as individuals, and then as a church and nation—to live fully dependent on You and in fellowship with You. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
