Dear God, Is Anyone Still Fighting for You?

Posted on by thechristiantechnerd

I don’t even know where to begin. My heart is on fire tonight — but not the kind of fire you want. It’s the kind that burns because I’m angry, frustrated, and afraid all at once. I’m afraid that we’re losing something sacred. Something eternal. I’m afraid that Christianity — true, Bible-rooted Christianity — is being mocked, twisted, erased.

And worst of all, I feel like no one around me even cares.

Everywhere I turn, the world is bowing to the Liberal agenda. Everything’s “tolerance” and “love wins” — but only if you agree with them. The moment you stand up for God’s Word, you’re called hateful, backwards, or worse. I’m tired. I’m mad. I feel like I’m watching the flame of our faith flicker under the pressure of politics and popularity contests.

“If the world hates you, know that it has hated me before it hated you.” — John 15:18 (ESV)

Lord, help me remember that it’s not me they hate — it’s You. But still, it hurts. It hurts to feel like I’m shouting into a void. It hurts to see churches flying rainbow flags and “celebrating pride” while ignoring the pride that leads to destruction.

Prayer 1:
God, please open the eyes of the Church. Wake us up before it’s too late. Give us boldness, not softness. Give us conviction, not compromise. I don’t want to be a lukewarm believer. I want to burn for You, not blend in for them.

What scares me the most is how fast we’re moving. Just a few years ago, things felt different. Now, if you don’t use the “right” pronouns, you could lose your job. If you say marriage is between a man and a woman — just like the Bible says — you’re called a bigot. I’m only 24, but I feel like I’m already living in a country that doesn’t want me — or at least doesn’t want what I believe.

And I keep wondering: Where are the other Christians? Why are so many of us silent?

“For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.” — 2 Timothy 1:7 (NKJV)

Prayer 2:
Lord, give Your people courage. Wake us up from our comfort. Let us speak with truth and love — not fear. Let us vote, shout, pray, and live like Your kingdom matters more than their approval.

Tonight I read a headline about another pastor arrested for “hate speech” because he quoted Scripture in a sermon. I wanted to scream. How can we just let this happen?! How can Christians be silenced in a country built on freedom? The same freedom they use to tear us down?

I know not every liberal is evil — I’m not that naive. But I also know the ideology they push is poison to our faith. It’s not about kindness or justice anymore. It’s about control. It’s about replacing God with government, sin with pride, truth with confusion.

“Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness.” — Isaiah 5:20 (ESV)

Prayer 3:
Jesus, be our defender. Be our truth in a sea of lies. Help me not to become bitter — but I can’t pretend I’m not furious. Channel my anger into action. Let me fight for You! Give me a voice that carries and a heart that doesn’t give up.

Sometimes I wonder what would happen if every Christian in America actually voted with the Bible in mind. Not with emotion. Not with culture. But with truth. What if we demanded that our politicians protect the unborn, defend religious liberty, and stop forcing godless agendas into our schools? What if we stood up — together?

It breaks my heart to see how many Christians say, “Well, Jesus isn’t political.” And yes, He wasn’t running for office — but He sure stood up to power. He didn’t sugarcoat the truth for Rome or the Pharisees. He turned over tables. He called sin what it was.

So why are we too scared to even post a Bible verse?

“Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind.” — Romans 12:2 (ESV)

Prayer 4:
Father, help me live transformed. Don’t let me mold to this world. Make me holy — set apart — even if it costs me popularity, friendships, or peace. Let me care more about pleasing You than fitting in.

I think of the kids growing up right now, being taught to question everything — except the lies. It’s a world where drag shows are “family-friendly,” but prayer in school is banned. A world where Christian voices are censored, but everything else is celebrated in the name of “freedom.” If we don’t fight back now, will there be anything left for the next generation?

I don’t want to sit back and watch our light go out.

“Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness’ sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.” — Matthew 5:10 (ESV)

Prayer 5:
Jesus, make me worthy of being persecuted for You. If I have to suffer to stand for truth, let it be done. I don’t want comfort — I want courage. I don’t want peace with the world — I want peace in You. And I want to see revival in my lifetime. Please, Lord. Let it begin with me.

It’s almost midnight now. I probably won’t sleep much tonight. My mind is racing with everything I want to do — everything I feel called to shout from the rooftops. Maybe this article is just a release. But maybe it’s also a reminder: I’m not crazy. I’m not alone. And I’m not giving up.

God is still on the throne. But His people need to rise. We can’t afford to play nice anymore. Not when souls are at stake. Not when truth is under attack.

If we don’t carry the flame — who will?

The Exodus from the Pews: What’s Driving the Decline of U.S. Christianity?

Posted on by thechristiantechnerd

I don’t even know where to begin today, Lord.

It feels like my heart is breaking in slow motion every time I look around and see what this country has become. I’m only 24, but it already feels like the America my parents and grandparents told me about is fading right before my eyes. Churches are emptier. Faith seems optional now—like a cute accessory people pull out for weddings or Christmas, not something that defines their soul.

What happened, God?

Growing up, I thought most people believed in You. I thought prayer before meals, purity, honesty, and honoring marriage were normal things. But now, when I speak about Your Word or choose to live differently, people look at me like I’m a fossil. They laugh at purity. They mock modesty. They reject truth in the name of “tolerance.”

I can’t lie—sometimes I feel completely alone.

“For the time will come when people will not endure sound teaching, but having itching ears they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own passions.”
—2 Timothy 4:3

That verse hits home more than ever. People don’t want Your truth, Lord. They want watered-down, feel-good nonsense that demands nothing and affirms everything—even sin. I watch people abandon church because it’s “too judgmental,” but really, they just don’t want to be told they’re living wrong.

PRAYER #1:
Lord Jesus, give me strength not to conform to this world. Help me stand firm, even when I stand alone. Remind me that Your approval matters more than the world’s applause.

Sometimes I wonder what’s driving this exodus from the pews. Is it pride? Is it because people love their sin too much to let it go? Social media preaches louder than the pulpit now. Instead of pastors, influencers are shaping beliefs. Instead of Bibles, people scroll endlessly, filling their minds with lies dressed up as “progress.”

“Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind.”
—Romans 12:2

Everything feels upside-down. Good is called evil. Evil is celebrated like it’s a badge of freedom.

“Woe to those who call evil good and good evil.”
—Isaiah 5:20

I can’t unsee the drag queens in elementary schools, the rainbow flags flying higher than the cross, and the celebrities mocking God with no shame. Sin has become entertainment. And worse, many churches have compromised just to “stay relevant.”

PRAYER #2:
Father, purify Your church. Expose the false teachers and cowardly shepherds who twist Your Word. Raise up a generation that will not bow to Baal, but only to You.

I don’t say all this out of hate. I say it out of deep sorrow. People are lost. They’re dying spiritually. And yet, the gospel—the only thing that can save—is being silenced. Christians are afraid of being “cancelled,” so they say nothing.

But how can we stay silent when we know the truth?

“If anyone is ashamed of Me and My words in this adulterous and sinful generation, the Son of Man will be ashamed of them when He comes.”
—Mark 8:38

The decline of Christianity isn’t just numbers. It’s souls. It’s families without fathers. Children without identity. Women trading worth for lust. Men abandoning godly manhood. It’s moral decay rotting the nation from the inside out.

“Righteousness exalts a nation, but sin condemns any people.”
—Proverbs 14:34

Sometimes I feel like Jeremiah—watching a nation crumble while pleading for it to turn back.

“Return to Me, and I will return to you, says the Lord.”
—Malachi 3:7

PRAYER #3:
Jesus, send revival. Let hearts be convicted again. Let knees bend again. Let altars be filled with repentance again. Don’t let this country fall away without a fight.

The truth is, we stopped fearing You, God. We stopped believing that You are holy. Now it’s all about self-love, not self-denial. People treat You like a distant cosmic buddy, not the righteous King of Kings.

“The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom.”
—Proverbs 9:10

PRAYER #4:
God, restore holy fear in Your people. Break our pride. Teach us to tremble at Your Word again.

I know You promised that the gates of hell wouldn’t prevail against Your church (Matthew 16:18), but sometimes it feels like they’re pounding hard. Still, I believe. I believe You’re purifying Your bride, even through this shaking.

Maybe this decline is really a refining.

“Yet once more I will shake not only the earth but also the heavens.”
—Hebrews 12:26

Even if only a remnant remains, I want to be in it. I want to be part of the faithful few who never bow to this culture. I want my life to be a light in this darkness—even if I’m mocked, misunderstood, or rejected.

“You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden.”
—Matthew 5:14

PRAYER #5:
Lord, use me. Even if I’m just one voice, let it be loud with truth and love. Make me bold like Esther, like Daniel, like Paul. Let me live unashamed.

I still believe revival is possible. I still believe the gospel is power. I still believe Jesus is the only hope for this nation.

So tonight, even with tears in my eyes and heaviness in my heart, I choose to trust You.

Because no matter how far the world drifts, You are still God. You are still holy. You are still worthy.

“The grass withers, the flower fades, but the Word of our God will stand forever.”
—Isaiah 40:8

Until every knee bows, I’ll keep standing.
