@joelsmallbone I think God really just wants a relationship with His children, and as a result of that relationship;obedience. Prayer is the chance to hear God then obey.
David pleaded. Job despaired. Jacob wrestled. Moses challenged. Abraham doubted. Mary questioned. Jesus wept.
Lament is not the antithesis of faith; it is what faith looks like when it draws near to grief. The more passionately we believe in the goodness of God, the more passionately we protest when his goodness is obscured.
Even if all we can do is groan in prayer, God hears us. Knows us. Sits with us in the pain.
Sometimes the most beautiful prayers are not words at all, but the fragile pieces of you just showing up.
The House just passed my Antisemitism Awareness Act. This is a momentous step towards rooting out antisemitic hate and protecting the rights of Jewish students on college campuses across America.
In contrast to the other universities dealing with protesters, hate, encampments, and mayhem, Liberty University students have end-of-semester prayer vigils on their Academic Lawn, that last well into the night.
A shining example. ❤️
At UNC-Chapel Hill, protesters removed the American Flag & replaced it w/ the flag of Palestine.
Police returned the American flag to its rightful position & fraternity brothers sang the National Anthem.
When protesters tried to remove & destroy the flag, the Greek community banded together to make sure the flag never touched the ground.
They did this as protesters shouted & threw things at them.
Thank you, @estradguillermo, & your brothers for standing for our flag in the face of tremendous adversity.
We salute you. 🫡
