Heavenly Father, my heart is heavy as I witness to people that have heard and believed so much stuff that contradicts what I read from my Bible. Father it saddens me to share a message with people twice a week, with many that say amen to the messages I teach and then within minutes after finishing these messages start doing the same thing the Word of God says not to do. Lord, my heart aches, when we awaken each day with widespread evil, whether it’s in the US or in a distant land like Pakistan, Africa, North Korea, Sudan, Iraq and so many other places. Places where over 100 innocent children have slaughtered by Islamic terrorists overnight. Places where whole families are barbarically murdered by the hundreds. Lord, here in the US where the majority of the church is fast asleep, it could drive us to despair when we consider the continuous chipping away of Biblical morals and godly restraint sweeping across the globe. Additionally so many deal with these troubling situations through a politically correct lens instead of the black and white truth. The only lasting answer to our soul’s diseases and widespread evil is provided for us in the arrival of Your Son, Jesus Christ. Though the majority reject Your answer for our sin problem, how grateful that Jesus still came, for He lives within the hearts of those who see their need and receive His forgiveness. In the midst of the prevailing darkness, like Longfellow, we declare that You are not dead and You do not sleep. Darkness is a temporary state, but Yours is an everlasting light. Lord, I pray that for Your chose, they never give up the race. Never give up the good fight of faith. That we never lose sight of the goal. I ask and thank You in the precious name of Jesus. Amen.
