We as a society give government the authority to protect us. With that authority, the government sets up rules for us to live by and enforces those rules. People argue about how much the government should get into things that are not in the realm of protecting people. Under it all, governments are set up to prevent chaos among civilization. Over time governments have bonded and created friendships amongst one another, with goals of protecting weaker nations from bullies and preserving humanity.
Imagine a life without consequences or law. People would be beaten and put to death, rape would be rampant and you would have to look over your shoulder constantly. Some parts of the world are like this and people cannot help where they are born. If you read about how people lived under some of the emperors after Christ in Rome it's enough to turn your stomach - 2,000 years later. History has a way of preserving the good and the bad. We want the good to continue and we want the bad to never happen again.
Hitler was removed by force. Without that force the world would be a different place. Today, we have suicide bombers and even young children being trained to wreak havoc on others. One thing we are forgetting in our prayers is that we are 1 nation of many. A lot of nations have laws and citizens. It is important to think outside your bubble. Don't just pray for our troops, pray for our allies and even our enemies – that peace will prevail and love is the goal.
