It’s very easy to become discouraged by the things we see in this world. The world’s system has turned away from God completely and people rejoice at this. Christians are seen as problematic; they are persecuted on the daily. But you, dear Christian, should not be discouraged because God is always with you. There will come a time where your name will be cleared and you will be free of the oppression you have faced on earth. In a day where (especially in the United States) the majority of political "leaders" are beyond liberal and socialist, we as Christians need to pray for them more than ever. Regardless of how ridiculously anti god their ideals may be, it is still our job to remember that Jesus died for them as much as he died for the people that actively follow our LORD and Savior Jesus Christ.
