I hate how in the last five months the world and my nation has become so.... (fill in the blank). If I disagree with certain things, I must be a hater. If I don't support certain groups, I must be dead to humanity. If I don't wear want my children to wear a mask, it must mean I am "anti" everything. If I want the economy to rise, it must mean that I don't care about others' health. For the love. I wish the biggest thing on the news right now was a toilet paper shortage. In five short months, our country has shown that its freedoms can quickly be taken away in less than a breath. I don't see it getting any better. Well, I see it getting worse before it gets better.
I believe that this nation was founded upon freedom; it is worked for and fought for. I also believe our founding fathers were led by God. This is a choice nation- I know it. I know that the way our nation was founded, the timing of lots of events and historical settings, is divine. Just because I don't understand it all and don't have answers for everything doesn't mean I don't have faith in this divinity. I also know that when our country starts dismissing this divinity and God, our granted freedoms will be taken away. Our nation's leaders are meant to hold up our freedoms, not challenge them.
My testimony to God and others is that I know the Book of Mormon prophesied about this nation- this country, this freedom, this land. I know it more now than I ever have known it. I know that anyone who sincerely asks God about it will receive more than a confirmation in their hearts and minds. I know that, through my studying of the Book of Mormon, that this land will prevail. This is where Christ will return. Our country was built for this purpose, for God's purpose. Our country's freedoms won't disappear before Christ comes, but they sure as as surety will hang by a thread.
So pray to God, pray for Christ to take reign, pray for our leaders to use wisdom; pray for the haters to embrace humanity; pray for families. PRAY FOR FAMILIES! It will be kids brought up in wisdom and courage, with a lens to see everyone as children of God, who will lead our country back to one nation under God.
Happy Independence Day weekend!
