America is Heading in the Wrong Direction

Written by Dr. James Dobson | November 10, 2021

A recent poll reveals that 7 out of 10 Americans believe the U.S. is headed in the wrong direction.

The poll, conducted by NBC News, reveals that 54 percent of respondents disapprove of President Biden's job performance and 71 percent believe the nation is headed in the wrong direction.

What are you willing to do to help turn this nation around? We must be committed to the truth, raise up our children in the Lord, and vote for candidates who value the biblical principles America was founded upon. 

But that's not enough.

We must also pray fervently. Consider these recent words from Dr. James Dobson:

It is my prayer that God would continue to lavish His grace upon us and refine the people of this nation, even though we do not deserve His mercy. We pray also that Americans would once again acknowledge God's astounding grace and pursue lives that embrace the virtues of brotherhood, respect, and love for one another. We have faced many difficulties over this past year, and we desperately need the redemptive work of our Creator and Savior. I think of Psalm 121:1-2, which states, "I lift up my eyes to the hills—where does my help come from? My help comes from the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth." He remains our only hope. 

This battle must be fought in schools, in the halls of government, in our churches, and at the polls. But first and foremost, it must be fought on our knees. Only then will America once again be, as President Reagan once described, "shining city upon a hill whose beacon light guides freedom-loving people everywhere."
