Dear God,
I write to you this morning regarding changes.
The weather is changing and old man winter is moving in. The night skies appear in the afternoon now and an extra blanket or two are needed.
A virus has spread throughout the world, changing everything and everyone in its wake.
The people voted in or that’s what we’re being told a president who has put us back in poverty because once again prices of everything have skyrocketed and sadly some are once again having to decide medication over food! Families are living in tents and cars.
Your word Lord is being watered down and distorted to appease the generation of trophy kids. The new world ways give a prize just because you showed up, no effort is needed. Now that has followed into their workplace and attitudes. I demand a paycheck but don’t feel required to put out any effort. The you’re lucky I showed up attitude!
A new world where the past is no longer history but another excuse to hate. You can’t rewrite yesterday but they are trying. The pagan practices in the old testament that you detested seem to be back on the rise.
No one wants to hear the truth anymore; it’s all ok, I’m ok, you’re ok we’re ok but we’re not Lord. You are being taught to be the God everyone wants but not the God who is!
Your word tells us who you are and what you are! But the agenda doesn’t have a place for you, your teachings, or instructions because that requires discipline, responsibility, accountability, and change. But that isn’t the change everyone is looking for something much easier with less dedication and reflection is the new mode of operation.
I watch the evening news Lord in fear and dismay at what is happening outside my door. Yet, I know also that you have many warriors out there doing all they can to promote your light against the permeating darkness.
Give us your strength Lord, let our voices be loud, our examples be shining and our walk, peace, and lives look pleasing to the outside world. Help us to be that inviting door full of warmth, to usher those in from the cold.
As much as I hate the many ways of today, I also know that this has to come into play as we watch prophesy being fulfilled. Be with us your children as we walk, talk and practice. In your name Lord Jesus, I pray. Amen
Thank you for sharing a bit of your day with me. Thank you for being a warrior! Be blessed today our Lord’s day of rest. I hope you get some! 🥰
