The Futility of Praying For America

Weekdays between 11am and 7pm(EST) you can listen either online or on the radio to American Family Radio.It is a Christian network that offers a variety of programs that discuss cultural,national and international issues that pertain to this country. A day does not go by that there isn't a caller, who in response to a discussion of the multitude of problems facing America, says something like,"We as a people need to pray for this nation." To this statement I would ask,why? In the last 50 years, has praying for this country done any good? Of course not! This country has gotten worse in every way. The reason it is futile to do so (pray) can be found in the Bible. If you look to Romans 1:28 you will read the answer.Now if you choose to dismiss this, then you can choose to dismiss pretty much anything else you find in the New Testament. Romans 1:28 says: "Furthermore,since they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God,He gave them over to a depraved (reprobate)mind. To do what ought not to be done." Reprobate also refers to a person without moral scruples. There you have it,since this nation and its leaders have been rejecting God and eliminating His presence from the public venue for decades,God has given America over to doing what it wants.You can see what it wants and likes by spending 3 or 4 hours changing the channels of your television.
America's Christians need to do more than pray.
