People have no idea how much worse it could be without God's love and blessings. Maybe it's a case of seeing the glass half full vs. half empty, lol...  |
I just found a good link the other day which I'd been avoiding on kjv1611. But when I read it I was really suprised, and on particular point they made fits here quite well.

11. The spiritual condition of the United States is shot. God cannot bless any nation for living like many of the citizens of the Unites States live. Any blessing that this country still enjoys is the result of "credit" given this nation by God when it still believed the Bible and feared God, by a bunch of saints who are still praying for God’s mercy and are living right and putting out the Gospel, and by God’s purposes for the United States.

Now, I don't believe God 'cannot' bless us, but I think that it would be out of character for Him to do so.
Much Love in Christ,
Stephen
