He's drawn you in his loving kindness into the wilderness. He's drawn
you and I at this season in our juncture as a nation into a very dry
place, a very unfamiliar place, a place where all the distractions are
being taken away, and all the hope in a sense that humankind in a sense
can solve its own problem is now gone. And we find ourselves in a place
where the only thing left in our heart is that which was in the heart of
David.

Oh God, oh God, it's got to be you. It's got to be only you. You've got
to come and do something that will vindicate your own name.

We have, yes, failed. We have fallen. We let our guard down.

We forgot who we were as a people. We forgot why we're established as a
nation. But in your mercy, you have drawn us into the wilderness to
reason with us one more time.
