Some Christians believe all the bad things that are happening to our country is the wrath of God. Some believe its the consequence of turning our backs on Him. Or taking prayer out of schools. Or allowing gay marriage. Or abortion. Some believe its all due to a fallen world. To a wicked enemy.
But whatever the reason(s) are for the bad things happening, God gave us a way to have influence and I would venture to say we have, in large part, forgotten how to petition the only One who can effectually change anything on this earth.

If my people who are called by my name humble
themselves, and pray and seek my face and turn
from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven
and will forgive their sin and heal their land.
2 Chron. 7:14
The age may be a better age than in the past, but there is an infinite distance between the betterment of an age by the force of an advancing civilization and its betterment by the increase of holiness and Christ-likeness by the energy of prayer.
E.M. Bounds, The Power of Prayer
