Dear God,
As I sit here, I feel afraid. I feel afraid for what the future holds for this planet. I have lost my faith in humanity, government, medicine and business. I understand our advanced technology allows for us to be more connected to what is going on in the world, but in many ways, I wish it was not so advanced. The suffering, cruelty, greed, betrayal, shallowness, stupidity and craziness of our world bombards us every hour of the day. It creates fear and doubt and furthermore, leaves me feeling completely powerless in my desire to make a positive change in the world. I know I should lean on your understanding, rather than my own, but how do I do this if I do not see you in these times? I hear you talking to me, I feel you tugging at my heart, but I do not SEE you helping us change what is going on in our businesses, government, medicine and global instability. I know people claim they believe in you, but behave the opposite way from what they hear in church, I hear people use your name but doing terrible things in your name.
I know what you want me to do in my life. I feel it and I am trying to gain the courage to take that first step to trust you and do it. However, I need some help please and it is not a help just for me. Please help our world. Help it run away the greed that has taken over people who have taken an entire country (countries) hostage. Help us be kind to each other, help us understand the cure for cancer is more beneficial to our human race than the billions of dollars made with "cancer medication" (which have probably killed more people than helped them). Help us see ourselves and others as you see us. Help us plant more trees and actually feed the hungry and provide basic needs to those less fortunate without the people in charge taking advantage of those who are willing to give.
I will continue to listen to you and will ask you to please help me find my courage to do your work here.
Amen
