My Reflections

What can I do?

prompt
Considering the observations that we made in our previous entry about the spiritual state of our Country, what should we commit to pray for this year? What actions can we take as individuals to try to make a difference?

I believe we need to pray for our President regardless of who it is and if we like him or not. I believe we need to pray for our nations religious and political leaders both. We need to pray for the law makers, city, county and state officials. Pray for our military. Pray for our justice system. Pray for the lawyers and everyone fighting for a righteous cause. Pray for a great spiritual awakening. Pray for forgiveness and intercede for others. Pray about everything you see wrong and then some. Pray. Pray. Pray. Pray some more.

What can I do to try to help the situation? I can raise the awareness of others. I can pray. I can tell others about Jesus. I can live as an example for others. I can do good to him who it is due when it is in the power of my hand to do it. I be a light for others to see in the darkness.

Rather the situation seems hopeless or inevitable, we can always stand up for what is right. Who knows? Maybe God will have mercy on this generation and put the inevitable (his judgement) off until a future generation. That's probably why we have been allowed to stick around so long as we have. If we were God, how many of us would have already wiped everyone off the earth? God is very merciful. We must all turn to seek him today.
