I find myself getting caught up in all of this and it's pulling me away from God.
I'm trying to understand what is going on in my heart in feeling so strong about political issues today. Although I know God already knows.
At the bottom of my stubbornness, anger, struggle, is a feeling of being left-out, shut-out, ignored, put-down, gossiped about and stomped on by my family (non-Christian, ...borderline anti-Christian) and society in general. Christian values regarding marriage and how we live have become more and more marginal and criticized, almost feels illegal if I don't fall in line to celebrate these ideals. And it feels to me things are becoming more and more this way. And on top of that, it feels like those in control are becoming more and more controlling about how I choose to live.
However, I know God is in control. But I just can't understand why society is going down this path if He is in control. I can't see why this is happening. And it feels confusing too, in that, if God is letting this happen, is this what He really wants?
Am I 'on the wrong side of history' as my family and others would say?
Thank you for listening.
