lament in ashes

Dear God!

Our culture is dying, at war with ourselves:

sexually confused, mentally ill, morally bankrupt.

We distract ourselves with screens,

numbed by mindless scrolling

as families disintegrate, babies are unwanted,

school children shot, teens die by suicide,

immigrants are assaulted, and

truth-speakers assassinated.

We no longer recognize our real enemy but

the serpent has many heads; inflicting multi-

faceted poison of evil as addictions enslave us.

How far will we go to break with reality? to

celebrate violence? to deny the Truth?

Who will save us if God has left the

premises because we escorted Him out?

O LORD, have mercy!

    I understand there’s an awakening hunger to know God among Gen Z. I pray their number may increase, that their influence spreads, that lies would be exposed and truth would shine with clarity.

    Our world is in serious trouble. I agree with everything you stated. We are materialistic goofs.
