Here lately, I've been thinking that God has given up on us as a country and world. I feel we've become so sinful and evil that he is sitting back and letting us destroy ourselves. I don't see this country ever becoming a Christian nation or even a united nation anymore.
Well, I don't think we're called to create "Christian nations", but to be the Kingdom here on earth. I also don't think America has ever been a remotely "Christian nation". Remember, this is a nation founded in sin, and has been engulfed in the evils of sin from day 1. We started with a clear violation of Romans 13, codified the ownership of human beings in our founding documents, have been engaged in some military conflict for over 90% of our history, Jim Crow, codified discrimination against women and minorities, abortion, internment of citizens due to their ancestry, etc.
I think much of the stress today comes from a mythical understanding of American history more than anything. So, as a Christian, I couldn't care less what happens to the nation-state of America. I'm just focused on loving my neighbor, my enemy, and my Savior. Whatever comes of that, so be it.
