I Pray for the Lost…

Dear Lord,

My heart is heavy this morning. As I was driving home last night from a lovely meal with my oldest son, I notice a young man, who appeared to be in his middle twenties or so, standing on the sidewalk kicking a small object such as a hacky sack or such! It was late enough my heart surmised he had nowhere to go!

Lord, you know the mother in me wanted to stop my car, bundle him up, take him home and feed him! Sadly in today’s world, we aren’t safe doing that any longer! So, I did the best thing I could do, and I started praying for him! Lord, I see signs in every window begging for help wanted and needed! Lord, are there places people can go to get a bath and a clean set of clothes to apply for a job? Lord, are there people willing to give the forgotten a chance?

Lord, how many choose to live this way? Could you show me those who choose this lifestyle versus those caught in a vicious cycle of doom? Show me, Lord, where I can serve you and those who need help putting one foot in the right direction, so the next step is forward.

Help me Lord to not feel guilty at the abundant life you have blessed me with, help me to remember I worked hard every day, I made the best choices I could; they weren’t always good or right, but good and right were in my heart.

I need to remember I opened the door of my heart when you knocked and that if I am blessed because of you, that is nothing to feel guilty about but to share your message and love with the lost, scared, and hurting world. I need your help, discernment, direction, and strength to do whatever job you have for me. To help those in need!

I pray every one of us who read this prayer makes it their own so we, your children, are beacons in the dark. In your beautiful name Lord Jesus, I pray. Amen 😌

It’s easy to become callous as poverty, drugs, despair live on every street corner but not every one of these people who have become scenery is living in the way of their choosing. Downward spirals gain momentum until they become out of control; much of the damage today is out of our control. It’s easy to judge. However, we will never know the whole story; remember, a book isn’t the cover only!

I pray you are blessed today, and thank you as always for joining me! 🥰
