So many Lord, writhing through internal pain and disquiet.  I  want that all should find their way to you accepting the gift of eternal life, but so many Lord fade away choosing self, soul and safety in pocket, purse or padlock.  Am I to feel this ineffective, Lord, this useless?  Or should I find security in the knowledge that I have planted each seed with care and diligence, knowing fully that where growth is possible you will provide it?

We are in such a mess.  Justified murder of the unborn for convenience.  Blatant sexuality, even in our youth who would be innocent.  Same sex relationships no longer an anomaly be preached as norm.   Absolute disregard for pursuit of wealth, fame and familiarity with those investments that bring neither peace nor benefit to a wounded world.  Reciprocal politics contorted beyond the confines of morale and logical constraint, veracious in it appetite to consume all that may be absorbed, used up, requisitioned or borrowed.  Violence as a national motto, preached to our youth in their games, our men in their sport and our women in their attempts to overcome abhorred weakness.  The overwhelming strength and character of Love, peace and kindness relegated to those affectionately labeled town clown.  An complete misunderstanding of God’s Sovereignty, Character and Word, leading to a national ignorance as to the source of our blessing and the price of our desertion.

I hate only the evil which fills and controls mans’ heart.  None of these sinners my enemy, it is their sin I hold in contempt.  I reserve no lesser review of my own abomination.  The stench of my own self service and iniquity equally displeasing to God.  The only thing standing between me and the judgment that I deserve, being the Blessed Blood of a King who loved me enough to pay the price of His life for my forgiveness.  I do not condemn anyone, including myself, for this is not my plan for salvation but God’s.  I forgive because that Grace was Given to me.  I love because that Love was Given to me.  I pray because that Access to God was Given to me.  I pray that all accept every iota of that which is offered them by God, turn away from their evil sin and make their way to peace and fulfillment through Christ the King.  I pray that the Lord God hear the earnest prayer of a humble nation turning our face back to Him and He to us.  I pray for healing, hope and redirection for our collective consciousness toward those pursuits which are eternal.  Praise You Lord God in the Mighty Name of Jesus the Bringer of Hope.
