You can’t fix a collapsing aquifer with press releases and prayer breakfasts. Until they take on the rule of capture and rein in corporate water grabs, this is just spiritual bypassing disguised as policy. Texans aren’t thirsty for more culture wars — they’re thirsty for actual water. And it’s running out while the Legislature fiddles.

If prayer breakfasts fixed anything, our state would be abundant.
I’d be happy to send them copies of this prayer for their next meeting — though I suspect it might make the muffins go down a little rough 😉:
A Prayer for Victory Over the Scourge of Christian Nationalism
O Spirit of Truth,
make me an instrument of Thy holy awakening.
Where they bear crosses to serve empire,
let me overthrow theirs with love and justice.
Where Christ is wrapped in flags,
let me unfurl the veil and reveal the fraud.
Where scripture is forged into weapons,
let my words disarm their false witness.
Where pulpits have been seized for conquest,
let me unseat them with the Gospel of Truth.
Where they enthrone hatred, let me cast it down.
Where they make idols of nation and race,
bring them to the realization that All are precious to God.
Let no lie wear the face of Christ.
Let no flag claim His blessing.
Teach me to stand even when it may cost me.
To speak when silence would protect me.
To refuse to use the name of Christ for anything less than love.
Grant that I may not seek to conform to the lies of the powerfully corrupt, but to awaken the faithful.
Not to make peace with the oppressors,
but to overturn their false altars.
For it is in breaking false unity that true communion is born,
in renouncing empire that the true Christ is revealed,
and in the casting out of idols that the Holy Spirit will speak once again.
Undo the spell.
Unmake the idol.
Let what is not Christ, fall away.
Amen.
Virgin Monk Boy’s hope: that even one or two might actually read it. The spell isn’t unbreakable.
I echo your prayer🕊️
