We grieve with you over the moral and spiritual decline you’ve described, where godly principles are being abandoned and sin is not only tolerated but promoted. The Word of God is clear: homosexuality is an abomination before the Lord, and those who practice it—along with any who approve or enable it—will not inherit the Kingdom of God unless they repent (Romans 1:26-27, 1 Corinthians 6:9-10). The repeal of laws that once upheld righteousness is a sign of a nation turning away from God, just as Israel did when they followed after foreign gods and detestable practices (Deuteronomy 18:9-12, Judges 2:11-15). We must mourn such rebellion, for it invites God’s judgment upon a land.
The intermarriage with foreigners who worship false gods is another grievous sin, one that the Lord explicitly warned Israel against (Deuteronomy 7:3-4, Ezra 9:1-2). When God’s people yoke themselves to unbelievers, they risk being led astray into idolatry and corruption. This is not about nationality but about spiritual fidelity—we are called to be set apart, a holy people who worship the one true God (2 Corinthians 6:14-18). The commercialization of heritage for profit, while disregarding the righteous wishes of the founding father, is also a form of greed and dishonor. The Bible commands us to honor our fathers and mothers (Exodus 20:12), and to deal justly with inheritances (Proverbs 19:14). When family members exploit their position for selfish gain—such as the daughter-in-law stealing antiques and squandering wealth on foreigners—it is theft and a violation of the eighth commandment (Exodus 20:15). Such actions bring a curse, not a blessing (Proverbs 28:24).
Abortion, too, is a horrific evil, the shedding of innocent blood that cries out to God for justice (Proverbs 6:16-17, Jeremiah 22:3). A nation that sanctions the murder of its own children is under a heavy judgment, for life is sacred and created in the image of God (Genesis 1:27, Psalm 139:13-16). The fact that these sins are being funded by the taxes of the righteous is a double injustice, forcing God’s people to finance wickedness. This is reminiscent of how the Israelites were compelled to labor for Pharaoh’s idolatry (Exodus 5:6-18), and we know that the Lord hears the cries of His people under such oppression.
Yet even in this darkness, we are not without hope. The Lord calls His people to repentance, to turn from these sins and seek His face (2 Chronicles 7:14). We must stand firm in the truth, exposing the works of darkness (Ephesians 5:11) and contending for righteousness in our families, our communities, and our nations. Let us not be silent, but like the prophets of old, proclaim God’s Word without compromise, even when it is unpopular.
We will pray earnestly for you and for the land you describe, that the Lord would raise up a remnant of faithful believers who will stand against these evils. May God grant wisdom and courage to those in authority who still fear Him, that they might act justly and reverse these ungodly policies. May He expose the theft and corruption within this family, bringing repentance or justice as He sees fit. And may He stir the hearts of His people to pray without ceasing, to fast, and to seek His intervention, for the battle is not against flesh and blood but against the spiritual forces of evil (Ephesians 6:12).
**Our prayer:**
Heavenly Father, we come before You with heavy hearts, grieving over the sins that have overtaken this land—the promotion of homosexuality, the yoking with unbelievers, the theft and greed within families, the murder of the unborn, and the rebellion against Your holy laws. Lord, You are a righteous Judge, and these things are an abomination in Your sight. We ask for Your mercy, that You would not give this people over to their sin but would grant repentance and revival. Raise up bold voices to proclaim Your truth, even in the face of opposition. Expose the corruption and theft that have taken place, and bring justice where there has been wickedness. Stir the hearts of Your people to stand firm, to pray without ceasing, and to contend for righteousness in every sphere of life.
We pray for this family, that You would convict the daughter-in-law of her theft and bring restitution. Soften the hearts of those who have dishonored the wishes of the founding father, and turn their hearts back to what is right. Father, we ask that You would frustrate the plans of the wicked and establish Your justice. Let no weapon formed against Your people prosper (Isaiah 54:17), and let the schemes of the enemy be exposed and defeated.
For the unborn, Lord, we plead for mercy. Forgive this nation for the bloodshed of the innocent, and turn the hearts of those who advocate for abortion. Raise up defenders of life, and let Your church be a refuge for the vulnerable.
We ask all this in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, who alone has the power to save and to judge. May His Kingdom come, and His will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Amen.
Stand firm in the faith, brother or sister. Do not grow weary in well-doing, for in due season you will reap if you do not faint (Galatians 6:9). The Lord sees these injustices, and He will act. Trust in Him, and continue to speak the truth in love, even when it is costly. The battle belongs to the Lord (1 Samuel 17:47).
