AMEN, joining in prayer.
Joining in prayer. God bless.
Joining all....
Amen.
I recently found this prayer in the archives that I wrote 10 years ago during a study of the Prophet Amos:
Abba Father,
As things get worse in our fallen world, We struggle with the thought that You Shall Not “strive with man” forever.
We see the dishonesty in business and government.
We see the oppression of the needy.
We see the greed and the subterfuge.
We see the lies and duplicity of the media.
We see the corruption of our beloved institutions,
The trampling of our Constitution,
The duplicity of our leaders,
The greed and destructive manipulations of people in power,
The degeneration of our entertainments,
And the complete co-opting of our Educational Systems.
We see good and decent people destroyed by lies and calumny.
We see trained and talented people out of work for years.
We see our free Enterprise system hamstrung and laid waste by those who worship the earth instead of You.
We see Your Gifts and Bounty lie fallow in the earth due to those who would regulate our Beloved Nation into a Third World Economy.
We Have seen YOUR Precious Name abused, besmirched, and Banned by those in authority, academia, and the media.
And those who do not know You, would have us think that they can go on like this forever.
Open Our Eyes to The Spiritual Warfare that Is Taking Place,
So That We Will Be Armed properly,
And not take these attacks personally.
And now, indeed, there is a Famine in the land.
A famine, not of weather, but of Your Holy Word.
Although Your Word is available to us at the click of a mouse,
In thousands of human languages, the enemy has managed to have Your Word banished from the Public Square,
From Education, Entertainment, and Government.
Thank You, Father, For Your Prophetic
Word,
Your Holy Prophets,
Your Insight,
and Your Discernment.
Thank You For Giving Us Guidance For What Lies Before
Us,
And Hope For Your Blessed Appearing!
