OPINION:
In these dangerous times, will America ask God for help?
Anytime we ask God for help, we are dependent on God. Conversely, when we do not ask God for help, we are dependent on ourselves. America is on a rapid and deeply concerning descent. Our downward decline is happening in plentiful ways and places.

The tension and polarization in America are alarming. Now is the time for America to call out to God and ask Him for help.
How much help do we need?
Right now, the United States House of Representatives does not have a leader. Are you praying for God to raise up the right leader to serve as the next Speaker of the House? The person who holds this significant and ever-challenging position is third in line for the presidency. This is why we must ask God for help.
Furthermore, we are now just over one year away from the 2024 Presidential Election. This election is not just about who the leader of our nation will be for the next four years, but it is also about the policies they will implement and the persons they will appoint who will make decisions based upon their own worldview and ideology. The gravity of this next election should move us to ask God for help daily.
With the border crisis escalating to heights, we have never seen before, and human trafficking occurring in unimaginable ways, we need to ask God for help. These things are joined with the growing fentanyl crisis that is destroying lives daily, so what will it take for America to ask God for help? We cannot solve these problems on our own or we would have done so already. Only God can help us! America needs to ask God for help.
Now, with the horrific attacks upon the nation and the people of Israel, the epicenter of the world is hanging in the balance. These are terrible times globally and all these things we are experiencing simultaneously. They cannot be ignored or downplayed in any way. Above all, America must stand strong with the nation of Israel in every way. This is why we must ask God to help the people and nation of Israel.
The soul of America is being threatened in ways we have never seen before in our generation. The disintegration of marriage and family has placed us in critical condition. While the sanctity and dignity of human life from the womb to the tomb are debated everywhere, we must adhere to the truth about ourselves and every person in the world. Each of us is created in the image of God, both male and female. Analyzing, confusing, and misrepresenting God about all these matters need to cease. We must ask God for help.
The time is now. The hour is late. Now is the time.
Psalm 120:1: “I took my troubles to the Lord; I cried out to him, and He answered me.”
Ask God to help you take this challenge to everyone, everywhere: America needs to ask God for help. Will you pray for America? Your friends, the members of your family, and all the churches across America must ask God now for help.
What will it take for America to ask God for help?
The difficult and dangerous times we are living in right now are so severe and critical, we need to ask God for help. Now is the time to pray and ask God to help us.
