Evangelist Anne Graham Lotz warns that the United States is “unraveling” and “disintegrating” into anger and anarchy, due in part to its “rejection of God.”
This is Truth Itself.….I’m Bob Ditmer
Lotz, the daughter of world-renowned evangelist Billy Graham, told The Biblical Recorder that prayer is of crucial importance to America. Lotz is the National Day of Prayer Task Force chairman.
She told the newspaper, “We need God. Our nation is unraveling … disintegrating into anger, anarchy, division. The polarization seems to be paralyzing our government. There seems to be little civil discourse and lots of chaos and confusion. At the same time, we are being threatened by terrorists who are dedicated to destroying us.”
Her answer to our dilemma is prayer. She said, ”God has promised to hear us, forgive us and heal us on the condition that we pray. It is not an option, it is a necessity.”
Lotz has long warned that God is “backing away” from America, and in a May 2016 interview said: “We’re losing His favor, His blessing, and that is what grieves me, and the answer to that, if that’s so, is not a political solution, it’s not economics or military or education. The answer is — Joel 2 in the Bible says — to rend our hearts and return to God and cry out to Him for His mercy. I think that’s where we are.”
She also said that it’s critical for parents to be very intentional about helping their children grow in faith in Jesus.
