Dear Lord
This is a crazy world. I thank You for still being in charge of history. Lord God, come and fix this mess. I pray for wisdom as I navigate it. Lead me. Help me see things right. Help me be like Christ in my speech and reaction and vision. I pray for forthrightness and yet control over my tongue. I do look at the world and ask for You to return to end the suffering.
1 How long, O Lord? Will you forget us forever? Because it feels like You aren’t ever going to come back. It messes that there is nothing but darkness. I know that we are not looking hard enough for there are glimpses of You in the mist. Help Your people to look for You in the darkness and notice that candle that is burning off in the distance. 2 My soul speaks to me in desperation and carries sorrow every day. I ask myself how long will these enemies of darkness prevail against those who are good? They seem to have the upper hand. Their triumph over Your people seems like it is everywhere. 3 Consider Your people, dear Lord. Help us. Give light to our darkened vision or we will lose hope and languish. We will give up if You do not give a light at the end of the tunnel to us. 4 If this keeps up the enemy may even think that they have won the day. I do not want the armies of darkness to overcome the soldiers of light.
5 But I know that ultimately they will not win! I know they will lose! I know they will be triumphed over by Your plan. Even in the midst of darkness I know that Your plans will succeed. For they are mortal and created beings who will be ruled over by their Creator. There may be battles lost and a present darkness lingering over our planet but I have trusted and relied on and been confident in Your lovingkindness and Your faithfulness. My heart still rejoices and delights in your salvation! 6 So I will sing to You, Lord because You have dealt with me in such amazing grace!
Amen
